100 series gone overland for KAT (2 Viewers)

Looks like a good time. Just a side note: I would caution storing fuel and anything combustible directly behind the exhaust pipe. Many posts over the years...

exhaust is melting my hitch carrier and hitch steps!

I did a search and heard that some people re-routed their exhaust end pipe to the side but I haven't heard if there are any consequence of that such as it melting the bumper or anything else... if anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it. I'm going on a road trip soon and would hate to even try...

Sorry for the delay in replying: the hitch mount is raised up and away from the exhaust. I had water on that side most of the time, until we figured out we didn’t need 15gal of water. Lol

Cruiser is still running good - did an oil change and transmission filter/fluid change. The transfercase is leaking out the rear seal. Put a bottle of that seal restorer in the transfer case and drove it here and there hoping for an easy fix. Look at it again when I get home.

Nice work getting your cruiser back to health and trail ready.

I’m on the 2nd tour with my 02, having given it to my wife’s cousin. Got it back last year and slowly getting it back to road-trip health.
