Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that, I'll contact you as soon as I get there ;)

Regarding the Owen sound Ontario on your signature.... are you into car audio business?
 
LOL!!
i am in the LC refurbishing and replacement business (and car audio is part of it)

i recommend you meet up with Lowenbrau, Behemouth, lumpy and Marc and herb... they are all great cruiserheads, very knowledgeable and quite entertaining to have a meal with...
 
Nice pics Louis! :D

If you have any video of my pile, send me the link

I was at an 4X4 club twist off today, tried my truck on the ramp, got an RTI of 508, not even close to the suzukis but it was fun to do. Limiting factors - front tires stuffing into the coil spring towers. More than enough articulation for me though.

Sweet build, me and the boys have watched your videos at lunch time in the shop.

Thanks, ya it's fun, learned alot and would do some things differently next time.
 
yep, that is the beauty of real life experience...
sometimes there is no other way.

over the decades i have watched fads come and go, cure-alls disappear because it really wasn't a cure for the problem. i have watched the V8 fad fade away and have seen the diesel phenomenom blossum.

of course out of all this some great ideas have emerged and have remained (and some real goofy ideas die nasty, ugly deaths)

that is a good looking rig Louis, keep up the thread with trip reports and mods... i know i enjoy them.

cheers M8
 
Great little video, Ishobie. Makes me wish I had the money and could figure out how to get a HZJ75 or 79 pickup into the states.
Question on the Air Compressor set up: Where did you get the Air/Water Separator? I would like to get one for mine, but I can't seem to locate one. Don't have much of a problem with freezing here in Hawai`i, but plenty of humidity to get turned into water in your lines.
 
I got mine with a plasma cutter that I bought. But they are pretty common, try an auto supply shop or auto paint supply shop - they should have one. Or ebay??

Thanks! Was a pretty mild year for wheeling my truck, mostly experimenting on all the things I've done to it. I had to take it easy as my tranny and transfer is just about ready to explode:) New ones going in this winter - then I get to flog the crap out of it next spring.

Regards,

Louis
