Good times breaking trail, pushing your rigs and helping everyone out.

Installed new lights. Gave the Depos a personal touch.

I got rid of the BFG Krawlers and replaced them with 37' Nitto Mud Grapplers. Krawlers are just way too soft for the heavy FJ80.

Grapplers sit about 1/2 taller and an inch wider.

Man... winter in the PNW looks like an alien world to me. I have no idea how to camp in something like that. Looks awesome.

 

[eurosonic]

man it has been a while since I logged in to mud,

here is what ive been up to
added power steering cooler. Much better.







ran into parking stump with no bumper, hit my rear corner. Replaced it with from a donor.




threw on a labs kit just for kicks,





upgraded steering rod ends to 7/8 heims.



switched out the heims on the links to Ballistic Fab joints. Rides so much smother now.


switched out AVMs to Aisins




another cool cruiser that I put together for a friend.



got new wheels, Raceline beadlocks. Sanblasted them for now, powdercoat next.
