    Need a new timing chain. Mechanics in Montana?

    Agreed. Overland Cruisers in Belgrade are a great resource. Mine's in with them now.

    6bt cummins NV4500 1996 LX450 swap

    Is the carbon fiber snorkel to offset the weight gain from the motor? That'll be pretty trick when you get it plumbed up - I hope you leave it raw carbon rather than paint it. Thanks for the details about your rig. I'm running an airbox and a K&N air filter, stock for a 1995 Dodge, I think. It...

    6bt cummins NV4500 1996 LX450 swap

    I love the rumble your truck makes. I've got the same engine and transmission in mine, but yours sounds a little... meaner, somehow. I'm guessing it's a combination of exhaust and maybe the snorkel? I love the sound of the turbo spooling up and down, too...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Nope, he was scared at 5mph. I agree, nothing on those roads merits getting worked up about, but he’s a bit of a nervous passenger even during the daytime, in good weather, on tarmac. He’d never seen anything like Arch Canyon, mild as it is there. I love him, but he’s a city slicker / pavement...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Did a weeklong camping trip with my Dad near Four Corners. Had a blast freaking him out driving off road up Comb Wash, Arch Canyon and Valley of the Gods out in Utah, and we could see three different states from the slickrock rim we camped on. It was all-time.

    Went fishing with my dogs yesterday and the sunset followed us home.

    Yet another low beam / high beam issue thread

    This was exactly right. Both the 9012s were burnt out, and adding insult to injury, both the old 9006s I had used as testers were burnt out, too. So, new 9012s arrived and worked right away. And I got to learn a new thing about my truck, even if it was the automotive equivalent of “did you...

    Yet another low beam / high beam issue thread

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll get in there with a volt meter and see what I can find out. Hopefully it's just a loose ground and not a shredded wire I have to chase somewhere!

    Yet another low beam / high beam issue thread

    Admission: I'm a total novice with automotive electronics. I could use some help from someone who knows more than me. I have a '97 FZJ80, with the OEM headlight wiring harness. I had upgraded to 9011 / 9012 bulbs about one year ago, and just recently noticed one of the low beam bulbs was out...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Got all the toys and tow vehicles out of the garage to float a favorite local river with some city kid friends for the 4th of July. Happy Birthday, America!

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Nope, a Warn. I used it on a subzero day this winter and I think the connector pin was brittle or something, and I may have broken it then.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Tires so bald they couldn’t grab the traction boards and the low side of the van stuffed into a mud bank. Because of the snowbank they tried to drive around and the narrow uphill pitch of the road we decided not to attempt a tug - didn’t to make a bad situation worse by blocking the road back...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Returned with my wife and dogs to a favorite camp spot in Wyoming, caught some fish and did some terrific sleeping by a river. Second morning out, two backpackers wandered into our camp asking for help. They were early 20s kids on a cross-country road trip but made a bad choice and got their...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Hit a big round number today, thankfully up a muddy, rutted dirt road on the way to fish a river. Didn’t catch any fish; still worth it.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Got in a sneaky midweek storm ski. 8" of fresh untracked powder on road to the trailhead and just my dogs and a snowstorm for company. We had the place all to ourselves and I got to spin a couple of slow snow donuts in the empty lot. Snownuts?

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    My Cruiser has been feeling neglected as it’s been relegated to the adventure-only rig, and my wife’s Tundra has been getting more attention as the boat towing vehicle in the fleet lately. But camping season’s about over up here, which means the Cruiser gets garaged for the winter and the...

    Made a quick photo stop while our group loaded boats before a day floating the Beaverhead and Jefferson rivers.
