I know you've pieced this rig together a bit... do you know what year your harness is that's running this cluster? Are you 12V or 24V?

12V. Original 1985 HJ75.

Problem with removing and installing these little screws in the plastic eventually strips out the plastic that these screws go into. I had 4 stripped out. Found some next size larger screws. Drilled the ends through to make room for the longer screws.

anyone got a part # for that KMH/MPH bezel? It's perfect.

Finally installed the winch cover, not a perfect fit due to how the winch is installed but I think it will work.

Bucket list destination done. Winter drive up the knik river to the base of the knik glacier. I’m pretty sure the Dobinson MRR did provide a better ride than the shocks that came with the TT parabolic springs. Ride should improve some more when I can play with the settings.
39mi round trip from the start/end point.

There’s a lake at the base of the glacier, which is frozen with ice burgs from the glacier frozen in it.

looks like a fun trip. I miss that area. I used to ride 3wheelers up to Knik glacier back in the 80s. It was whole different
ride back then. Wolf point was impassable for most vehicles.

Wow, awesome pics! Thanks for sharing @coldtaco

I miss being able to winter trail ride. Where I live now we just get too much snow. Even with tire chains. Too much snow and too hilly. Places more amenable to winter off-roading in the area all seems to be private land or native reserve.

It's also nice to see the rare moments where Toyota's and Jeeps are getting along.

Replaced this parking brake cable spacer arm thingy.

The new power steering pump. Can’t tell if it’s painted or not. If not then I would like to paint it.

Amazing photos of the Knik run... that's a large crew. Have always wanted to trail ride in Alaska.
