2017 what have you done to your 4 x 4 lately?

[trainrech]

Interior spare tire holder for the 100. An old Conferr brush guard was repurposed so all I had to buy was (3) u-bolts.

Huh.. you do know those brush guards are getting kinda rare.. but pretty darn cool recycle job. I have one of those on the wall from GSMTR 1999 trip.

Got the gooseneck hitch installed. Thanks Sammy for the advice

 

[1994pd]

Are you looking for a gooseneck trailer?

Maybe..... Homerun would be to find someone to go in on one.

 

[1994pd]

Unboxed my Labs kit. It looks like everything is there.

 

[1994pd]

Started prepping the metal.

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

I'll just leave this pic here. Over a month wait but I have them in my possession.

 

[1994pd]

No idea what I’m doing. But I had to start somewhere.

 

[1994pd]

I think I can have everything burned in tonight and be ready to sand and paint tomorrow.

 

[1994pd]

Pic didn’t attach

 

[1994pd]

Finished except for finding a place for a license plate and figuring out what to do with the AC dryer.

14 hours before leaving for CO, I decide to get my battery tested because the start is just a “hair” longer than normal. Fails the CCAs which is enough for me to replace it considering I’ll be in the middle of nowhere tomorrow. The corrosion probably didn't help but I didn't have time to mess with it and for the price, it was worth it.

Costco for the win. $85.99+15 core charge and I’m out the door. Local TiresPlus was at $145 or so (didn’t ask their core).

Not sure if you can get a Die Hard battery anymore with the Sears death, but I’m disappointed that I only got a couple of years out of it.

Reverse engineered a flex plate on a 4 year old Adapter that the original shop couldn’t make anymore....

 

[Zane]

Worked on fabing up custom stainless exhaust to go up and over the frame rail of the 80. 2.5” OD w/Mandrel bends. Fun project! Replaced Y-Pipe with Magnaflow

 

[2fpower]

@Zane can you think of a way to measure/copy to be able to duplicate those bends before you put it in?

That looks about perfect.

I found what’s at the end of the rainbow, Land Cruisers!!!

I think @BigRedOne75 would be interested as well.

@StucknKS would likely be in too. His brand new exhaust got ripped apart at Chinaman's Gultch when he hit that part with much enthusiasm.

So would this guy...my exhaust is held together by rust and broken dreams.
