I bet I could get the through shaft for my PTO winch and make an attachment for one of these to run right off my front bumper. Interesting.
I have been thinking about how to deal with my shop/garage problem. I live in a downtown area, so lot size is tiny and there are pretty strict zoning codes with what you can rebuild once you tear down something that was grandfathered in. My garage is tiny....barely two cars wide. If I tear it...
Hey Guys,
Just checking in to let you know I'm still alive out here. Having a great time in Cruiser paradise. We just took a "family" wheeling trip out to the Crested Butte area and drove Mary's LX450. It was claimed to be a stock run.....hmmm....close. I survived with no damage but it...
Well, it’s official. I am now moving to Colorado. A few of you are aware that I lost my job in NC over a year ago and began doing some contract design work in a few states in the south. In the process of that, I also began looking for that type of work in Colorado because I always wanted to...
I went to the diesel emission testing station today and was required to do a VIN check for local registration. The kid doing the test didn't know whether my 40 was a "passenger, SUV, or truck" under their given options. I wasn't going to say one way or the other, because it might actually...
I think I found this cause once before, but my pictures (most of them) only partially load. I wind up with "stripes" of just the top part of the photo attachments. Very annoying.... any help?
As some of you know, the cruiser world is going ham over cb. Better range, etc. You do need a license but it's worth it. A local shop has yaesu 55w radios on clearance for $120 or so. They had nine left on sat when I bought mine. If anyone is interested, I can pick some up while supplies...
Anybody up for a major event run this spring? I'm leaning toward making another attempt at rubicon if things pan out or maybe Moab. Moab is taking a nice turn this year but I have already had my truck there. Rubicon was awesome but I haven't driven it yet. I "might" be able to swing enough...
So....how well do you think any of those hybrids would hold up to this:
I basically just made the same haul as we made to Harlan a few weeks ago, except this time, I'm carrying at least 1k pounds more. The military trailer is MAXED, and the 40 is full as well. I actually had to lower the...
Wow.....hard to believe the detail in this radio control fj40. This thing is pretty much scratch built. http://www.scale4x4rc.org/forums/showthread.php?t=25783&page=19
So, do we have plans to go back this fall...especially given the partial closure?
The closure got me to thinking though. If we can still make it to the bald, it could still be a good camping and mountain biking trip. I'm getting more into the biking thing, and it seems like the trails around...
So I kept wondering what the heck the rubber plug to the right of my rear view mirror was until I painted the windshield frame. Well, I saw that as a perfect opportunity to find a light to put there. I wound up wiring a switch into the dash (there was already a hole) so I could turn on my hard...
5 rims, all of them 15x8. One of them is mint, the others are in good shape. Not scraped up, but some previous owner sprayed harsh wheel cleaner on them and burned the clear coat so it's cloudy in spots. I also have two 1/4" wheel spacers included so you can run these on the fronts...
