    Builds Cruisermatt's FJ62 Build-up

    1200 mile trip this weekend for ONSC Carolina Relic Run.. no issues at all other then two injectors becoming unplugged for some reason, and the turbo is still dumping oil. Nothing that actually required any wrenching on the trip. I actually didn’t drive the truck at all on this trip, other than...

    Mostly my 5-speed 530i I picked up back in October. Into the whole car for about $3k including wheels/tires, amp, Carplay head unit. Bought it with intention of boosted LS swap but will more likely end up doing that to a nicer example instead.

    I haven’t heard of this before, interesting. I just chalked it up to bad luck, plus these bearings are super cheap, the only option out there is like $8.

    Lastly was new wheels and tires, went with the same thing as before, Geolander Mt in 37x12.5 on 17” Toyota steelies. Had to get new rims since my last set was so beat up from rocks that the tire guy wouldn’t touch any of them. Holy cow, soooo much better. Actually drives right again.

    oil leak ended up being my shift tower which was loose from my previous repair failing, this time I time I welded the holes, used Time-serf’s and made paper gaskets. aaaand we noticed the input shaft on transmission was super loose. Of course my NV4500 munched the input thrust bearing. :doh...

    So I have done nothing to literally nothing to this truck since October when I fixed the brakes, and only driven it a few times since I picked up a more comfortable car to DD. Even though I completely went through everything before my Colorado/Rubicon trip last year the truck really felt...

    Next up on the list is all my spring bushings front and rear, new spring bolts, , the new FROR keyed arms I’ve had on the shelf for two years, etc. everything is just worn out from the last few years of DD/trips/wheeling and it is really feeling clapped out right now. Definitely need some fresh...

    Way overdue on uploading all my Colorado/California pics. Really been nose to the grindstone with the shop since I’ve been back. Have a TON of new products in the pipeline trying to launch as soon as possible, and re-launched the website and added a bunch of OEM part kits, with more to come...

    Made it to Loon lake around noon! Wheeled the entire trail and didn’t have to use a single tool. I did have to winch once in Little Sluice that I went through accidentally :lol: I went through right after Jeeper’s Jamboree cleared out so I had the whole trail to myself which was great. I...

    Friday I ran Poughkeepsie gulch solo with some friends riding along with me since their trucks were already packed up, I took every hard line for fun and ran the whole trail in like an hour and a half and spent two hours watching people struggle at the Wall. :lol: I almost flopped the truck a...

    Today I managed to convince @cjmoon , @tornadoalleycruiser , @kc_chevota , and @mazder to drive up to Montrose and explore the buggy trails up there. We started with the easiest trail there and took us about 5 hours to go about a mile :lol: we turned around and went back after I had to winch...

    And then the reason for all the work at the last minute. Hopped in the truck at 3am and drove it 1100 miles straight, with no AC, from Orlando to Dallas, my first half of the drive to Ouray for SAS. Absolutely brutal but I got it done. My turbo is leaking some oil Out of the cartridge which is...
