    I was just thinking about this rig this morning… Awesome to see it out in the wild doing cool stuff.

    Woke up and grabbed some breakfast from the concession stand. Big-as-your-face breakfast burritos and coffee for all! Gave my son his first driving lesson in 4-low and first gear on the way to breakfast. He had fun but he was definitely nervous and unsure. Going to have to make that a more...

    Another belated update: Land Cruiser Roundup! Decided to trailer the forty to Roundup because my young son wanted to go for the whole weekend with me rather than come up with momma for one night of camping. Also, I was itching to tow with my new-to-me Tundra. Borrowed my cousins trailer and...

    Unexpectedly scored a winch cable for my 8274 from my friend Todd via my cousin. Got it secured and wrapped on the drum with zero fuss. That’s ~$200 saved!

    Catching up from the past few weeks. Been crazy busy with buying a new house and prepping the old house to sell on top of finishing up things with the 40 in preparation for Roundup. And of course going to Roundup and having a blast in the 40 this past weekend. Made some more permanent latch...

    Switching gears again here… Got the necessary parts I was missing from the oil filter canister. Opted for a quick and dirty solution from Home Depot. I decided a piece of 1/2” conduit would work just fine for the spacer. Thought I was going to have to purchase a whole stick of conduit until I...

    I do plan on wheeling it a bit. Nothing too crazy. Maybe blue or green slopes. The two shock length options leave me with either too much or too little travel. The short ones are too short and the long are too long…

    I appreciate the advice @locklaw. I was looking for similar advice earlier in this thread actually. I seem to have a shock length conundrum here. I did cycle the springs to full compression using my floor jack and took measurements. My droop and compression numbers using that method landed me...

    I’m certainly no expert or big wheeler either for that matter. I’ve been out in the rocks a dozen or so times and I’ve done a fair number of trails in other rigs so I know a little bit I suppose. Just really going off of what I’ve read here and there. My hope is that it’s insurance against...

    Haha. It is a lot. But, it’s better than the shock being the bump stop. There’s not a lot of up-travel with this shock on this small lift.

    Oh snap y’all! Look what showed up today! So excited to try these new fangled bump stops from @PerryParts on the 40. As far as I’m aware this is the first set for a 40. Standby for fit up and testing!

    33x950x15 Pictures Tall Skinny

    Just put the short (~2”) Dobinsons on my rig with 33x9.5 Kendas. I’m digging it so far, but I haven’t put many miles on the setup. I decided on the shorter lift because I’m short and I’ve done the tall lifts previously on other vehicles. They’re just not for me anymore. I prefer a more stock...

    (5) 16” Toyota split rims. Make me an offer. Really just want them out of my back yard.

    Awesome y’all, I really appreciate it! It appears I’m missing a large washer and the tube spacer. I assume the tube spacer is just slightly larger diameter than the tube? Y’all know about how long the spacer is off-hand by chance?
