Teardown almost complete. I need to dig out that fuel pump.

He did not build it to sell it. He has 2 kids and a recent divorce and his ex would not let him pick his kids up in the truck because she deemed it unsafe. There really is not much money to be made on importing these trucks for profit unless...

Hello Nolen, PM sent.

Completed the carpet installation yesterday just prior to the rain starting. Was able to get out yesterday evening and do some systems testing to ensure all is a go for the Vermont Overland: 1. Windshield wipers and washers- check 2. Sniper...

This was a change of pace but welcome as progress was rapid. Started installing some sound dampening and got the rear carpet mocked in the cargo area. Also installed a Warn Bluetooth connection to the winch which is great for allowing remote...

Shim= No shimmy

Amazing what a little shim can do, eh?

I have mad respect for anyone that does this job but man love respect for someone that does it without an air chisel

Hello All, I plan on attending the SAS next summer as it will provide me the opportunity to adventure and camp in Colorado/Utah/Aridzona prior to dropping my truck off with Kelly Saad for a makeover. How does one register for this event? Is...

Great tip thank you

Fresh cut crepe myrtle’s burn like Christmas trees.

Love that beer

Axles all stripped so I'm on to the 2F. I'm about to hang it up for the day. Good progress so far. This thing has a PowerSurge that I actually sold him years ago that I'm s*** canning for a normal external fuel pump setup

Sold

I've never seen one with so much grease in the axle tube that had no 90wt in the knuckles.

More tear down. Had to work on a local truck this morning (Powda Blue) The front will come apart today. One side down. Whoever built this front axle last was in the minimal grease school. Maybe a 1/2 a can in the whole side. They don't...

I'm really ready for this thing to land CONUS. It's been a long process...hell of a fun story when it's all done though!

Currently parked in the route of a 5 hurricane and the Bermuda Triangle. What could go wrong?

The front tie rod has seen better days. The rear bearings are slide hammered out Thirds are painted. I'll put new pinion flanges and seals in once I have them in the truck

Love some Spotted Cow! Woody turned me onto that a few years ago. I have a case getting bootlegged down next week...

Looking for a 2001-2004 Sequoia 4WD

3rd member swaps *tech tip* If you are swapping Land Cruiser 3rds from a vehicle that has locking hubs, use the front differential in the rear of the receiving vehicle and the rear to the front. Why? If the hubs are not locked all the front...

@Catching Neutral set me up on a primo spot. I have more vids than pics but getting to see these guys is definitely one of better perks of living here in the good ole Panhandle.
