    Updates. Went to coal miners classic cruisers (or something like that) in PA hosted by Gotham City cruisers. Awesome time. Then I drove it to the Adirondacks in update NY less than 90 south of the Can. border to visit old friends. The truck did amazing even on the 700 miles trip back to...

    Put it on your calendar for next year. Worth it. I need a front passenger spring retainer or maybe just a stock isolator because without any weight over there (I think) when wheeling the spring bangs all over the place and is pretty annoying. Oh and maybe this:

    also. I landed hard on my new bumper several times and much to my surprise, it didn't fall off. so that's good. also, also, I offered to sign my title over to the owner of that LN 105. He politely declined. :(

    Took it to uwharrie ohv for the old north state cruiser clubs annual Carolina Relic Run. I drove the cruiser 240 miles each Way with no troubles even with the 37s and stock gears. I averaged a little over 11mpgs (which surprised me). We got turned around by lightning at the top of Daniel...

    Bumper stuff. I have a super Cool bumper! I'm stoked how well this has come together. It's simple, strong, and high clearance. Eventually it will have a swing out tire carrier too. Or maybe not, I really like it the way it is now and hate to clutter it up with a bunch more tube but I also...

    @FMC80 I haven't moved the axles, but I did trim some of the rear of the front lower fender liner. I may end up getting some Delta VS control arms in the future but not sure yet. I put 300miles on it last weekend and other than one of the wheels being a little bent and causing a slight...

    So.. I got some 37s. @H8 Roads sold me his maxis trepadors on 17x9 97s for cheap. My original plan was to trim the flares and keep them but as soon as I started pulling them I realized they were all for s*** and barely hanging on for dear life. So I went flareless. After I pulled the...

    Fixed my center diff. It was the bulb, which I figured out after I replaced both the 4l and CDL position switchs. I figured since I had my dash apart I'd fix my floppy ac vent with the bushings I got from outsane but I ham fisted it and broke my vent, badly. So. Also replaced a bunch of...

    The morning after I finished installing the new lift, I went to the capitol land cruiser club's fall crawl. It was awesome obviously. The cruiser did great and Im pretty happy with the j springs, especially off-road. Only breakage was my center diff quit working and I had to stop at a car...

    Update/photo dump Switched to OMEJ springs and long travel shocks Got a slee transfer case skid. Of course I snapped all 3 bolts in the crossmember. I ended up drilling out the bolts and using longer ones. Probably not a good permanent solution but it works for now.

    I now need to get a rear bumper with swing out. I used to toss the spare in the back when I went wheeling, that's not really an option anymore. Also need stiffer/taller springs. Those drawers are heavy. The crap I put in them is even heavier. More stuff for the HG PM parts pile:

    Update time.. Built some drawers. I may have used too much...or not enough glue when applying the rubber mat to the top. New oil level sensor gasket. One of the many leaks I noticed the last time I laid under it. Sewed on a new gen you wine leather steering wheel cover. Had it in my...

    I have to care a little about mpgs. Even if it's just range I'm worried about. The dog has as much interest in being hauled up a ladder as I have hauling him. Ready for potts when you are...I think it opens 4/1?

    So I have a 100lb lab who camps with me and there's no way I'm hauling his ass up a RTT. Also I'm in my 40s and can't make it through the night anymore without having to pee a couple times, especially if beers are involved. Plus the whole mpg thing, $3k, and top heaviness. Basically I'm just...

    Replaced my 2 front window channels cause the old ones would actually cut my arm when I hung it out the open window. (Don't do that though, it's dangerous)

    Updates I installed a bosal cat back exhaust (now called B.R.E, but comes with magnaflow return label). Also replaced downstream O2 sensor and got a few oem hangers from wits end. Painted to match the rest of the exhaust. Still not convinced this delays rusting but it looks good. I bought...

    Failed inspection due to leaking 2nd cat so... New 2nd cat. I ordered BRE (bosal) because magnaflow wasn't in stock anywhere but when it arrived it was in a magnaflow box with magnaflow stickers and maganflow instructions. 🤷‍♂️ I painted the cat with "aluminum " exhaust paint same as the y...
