Pretty quiet in here... what are you working on? (12 Viewers)

I also drained and filled the rear diff on the 8.1 burb with some 75w-140 Valvoline synthetic. Those bags of gear oil are pretty handy.

I wish all the manufacturers would offer fluid like that. Makes it easy to just go underneath and squeeze it out into the diff or case

Chinese manufacturer is making these now.

Wow if everyone in the club bought one it would keep the cost down and make the Club the most pristine one around... imagine everyone having a "new" 40! LOL Nobody would go to the Cove with them then!

Supposedly the entire body on display was bought by someone there at the show.
The word is they paid 11K for all of it.
Im hoping it was someone on mud who will do a review of it.

So basically now you can build a whole 40 brand new just like some of the old Detroit muscle cars with parts from Year One..... just get one that is total trash for the VIN redo the whole frame and let the build begin

I would gladly pay $11k for all of that!

There's a thread in the 40 section with the doors. I think Roger @Racer65 imported a box of them and Mark @65swb45 had mostly positive things to say about them.

 

[1MOA]

did they review them already?
I know mark sold out his 10 pairs in 2 hours.

Shuffling the garage around to make best use of this double-wide lift that was installed this week.
Still needs some adjustments on the linkages, but it's safe to use for now. The controls are a bit finicky until it gets sorted out.
Production was moved back to USA during pandemic. Now made in Ohio.

Proffitt's Instagram had a post about that:

His post says he'll be doing a SEMA episode on YouTube, so I imagine this will be a part of it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQGe4QHUPeUt2a3vVgb_4wA/featured

here we have the toyota land cruiser, with its control arm lubrication maneuver which also serves as a rust inhibitor

Yeah, I’m not a fan of that maneuver. It is expensive rust prevention.

A few of us helped out a new member install some new skid plates from Victory 4x4. There was lots of prying, cursing, and hammering. They are on now and seem like they’ll do a good job of protecting the truck.
