Yo peeps! I am getting excited.
New Winch, fluids topped off, new AGM battery, snow tires coming off today (even though it’s snowing) and time off work all squared away.
Leaving BZN Tuesday afternoon following work. Not sure if I’ll try and sleep in SLC, but planning on being in Moab Wednsday.
Current plans are to head out Wednesday around lunch time'ish. Hope to arrive by midnight so we can hit the trails Thursday (and help out @ttFJC on the Copper run).
Yes, I had my FJ62 seats done with Brandon over at Rex's Upholstery. I think they did a good job - it was fun picking out the leather, the pattern and checking-in from time to time on the progress. I was able to work with them to do parts myself and have the experts do the rest.
Also did my...
Yes @4wdgr8r got it all done. Been using it for over a year now. Game changer.
Summers I have cooled seats and during winter I am nice and cozy (very nice when it’s -30 degrees in Montana).
Thanks for all the great comments and feedback!!
Ended up with a set from Johnny! Thanks man.
Did a test in my backyard and seemed to work great (only a foot and a half of snow).
Haven’t even added the rear chains yet- but I am feeling really confident I’ll be able to get into some pretty...
Great comments @elkun1 and @Eyedaho - considering I want to wheel with these and drive in extreme conditions - a nice set of heavy chains sounds about right.
oh thanks @elkun1 ! Main use case is the FJ62, since that’s what I take out. I’ve taken a look at the Laclede’s recommended - but I’ll...
Howdy Everyone,
Already have my snow tires on, but looking to beef up my snow driving game, so I can go deeper into a snow and icy abyss.
Does anyone have a preferred brand or model of snow chains that are good for wheeling and fit on good sized tires?
Thanks for any suggestions !
Way back, when Covid barely had a name... I bought a set of Falken Wildpeaks for my 99' LC.
Sizing was a little different from you @REZARF since I used the stock wheels, but the overall size was LT 305 70R16. I had an OME 2.5" lift as well, so I think similarly setup (including an ARB front...
@90WT when you say ready to roll at 9. Does that include being aired down? Or does that happen later? Dumb question from me.
On the fence if I can make it, but if I can I am thinking of bringing the trailer out for a Friday night camp out. Likely returning Saturday or maybe even Sunday...
Made it to Solid Axle Summit with a bunch of old Cruisers over the last week.
Highlights included Imogene Pass, Engineer Pass, and Flaming Gorge (in WY).
Really enjoyed driving down through Wyoming and Utah (vs the "fast" route of passing through SLC).
Not sure yet about weekend plans. Just got back from a week of Solid Axle Summit in Colorado and Wyoming.
Would love to join, but won't figure things out until later this week. Looks like a blast !!
Day 1: Bozeman, Montana to Granite Creek, Wyoming - awesome spot with natural hot spring
Day 2: Green River aka Flaming Gorge, Wyoming - camping on the beach
Day 3: Ouray!!! ( kind of feel like saying Hurray! )
@CruiserTrash If I can crash in your spot Sunday night that would be rad! I am sure this will all work itself out, depending on the new "owners" and whether we can share spots or not. New owners of the KOA, if you read this, we love you and thank you for hosting all of us.
Thank you for the...
