    It was great getting to see all of y'all again. I had a great time running around the trails with quite a few of you~ 😁 I hope I see y'all out there again soon! Henry (Black HZJ77)

    The reason I DIY things? 1. It's cheaper - The total cost of the sliders was $500, with enough metal left over to make a second set (which I plan to do for my friend's Cruiser) 2. I can build it how I want it, for the exact purpose I'm going to use it for. 3. It's a lot of fun building stuff...

    August 2022 - This time: the first truly permanent mod I do to my Land Cruiser - DIY rock sliders / side steps welded to the chassis. Goodbye old side steps I started by stripping spots on the chassis to weld some 1/4 inch steel plate to as mounting points for the slider/steps. This will...

    As you've probably seen, I like to DIY things whenever I can. So... I made a 30mm body lift out of a giant rod of Polyurethane - 3" diameter 90A durometer, only $67 to make all of the pucks! All I had to do after that was take some measurements and order some new body mount bolts. Well...

    Some more random stuff: Replacing the motor in my passenger door lock assembly. Solder off old motor contacts, solder on new. Easy peasy ^_^ Some fun for the future ^_^ Snowy Cruiser ^_^ (Actually had to use 4WD to get to work haha) Metal Fab project - Under Seat Lock Box

    The front cleared better than the rear, but I didn't have much of a problem either way. The rear just rubbed a bit of the paint off of the inside of the wheel well at full tuck My friend and I drove into a ditch at an angle to measure full droop and full tuck for tire scrub in the front and...

    As any 70 series owner knows, the rear axles are narrower than the front axles (for whatever reason... ) So with the measurements I had taken before, I bought some wheel offset adapters from CruiserParts.net. They had a decent price and the sizes I needed. I found that I needed 2" spacers on...

    Alignments are cheap when you can do it yourself ^_^ Looks nice with the new shoes on it too~

    Ended up having do drive around with them for some reason... Just glad I could fit them all in the back ^_^ I then started measuring them for "stick out" from my fender flares. Didn't want to rip one off if I slide into a mud wall (which I've done several times since deciding to do something...

    Oh yeah! When I got the new tires, I tried to balance them on 3 different machines. 2 at school, and 1 at work... and it was gonna take over a POUND of lead PER TIRE to balance them... So I decided to get new wheels because there's NO WAY that new rubber is THAT far off balance. (Especially when...

    December of 2021 - Finally some fun! Took the HZJ77 to Uwharrie National Forest in Troy, NC! ^_^ Went out with the NOAS (Nissan Offroad Association of the Southeast) group that a few of my friends are in. OMG is it dusty out there all year round! I had to immediately blow out my air filter...

    While I was doing some other maintenance, I decided to check on why my coolant reservoir kept dropping. I looked and looked and found the culprit. Now one, but TWO slowly leaking corroded hoses. So new ones were ordered and put on. That fixed the problem for a good while. I also figured out...

    Hinge rebuild continued. There are 4 hinges... and each one took two plus hours a piece to rebuild, because even after drilling them out, sometimes you have to snap what's left of the pin without damaging the hinge, and then still had to hammer the remainder out... They really were a pain in...

    Next up: Rear door hinge rebuild. Thankfully there's a company in Australia (Tojo 4WD Center) that makes pin and bushing replacement kits for the 70 Series rear door. The pins are stainless, so they won't rust and be a total PAIN IN THE A$$ like the OEM ones... It took me nearly 3 days to...

    Installing it into the rear quarter panel and splicing it into the lighting circuit. I wanted it easy to access, so I made a bracket that I could screw to the inner part of the quarter panel with a wing nut. It's worked out pretty well so far (3 years at this point) The splices are tied in...

    And then the fun begins: Wiring trailer lights.... Thankfully another MUD member had already figured out this particular conundrum (I'd mention them by ID, but it's been almost three years since I wired this, so I've lost their post and even googling it, I can't find it (TT_TT) Sorry...) They...

    Next up: wiring and mounting the PIAA lights. I had to make some aluminum spacers for the lights because I didn't want to drill into the bumper for the "alignment" pins that keep them from spinning due to vibration/wind. Thankfully the bolts on them were long enough to go through the bumper and...
