Nice build, thanks for sharing your journey.
Post up the rear bumper when you get it.
 
Had the photographer for Toyota 4wd owner magazine come out with us in the rocks and then a friend took the snow and airing up picture haha I have a DSLR too but forget it sometimes.
I was gonna say, those have a "signature" Joel Moranton look to them.
 
Haven't been on here in a bit so quick recap of the last month and a half..
Hit some rocks

Rear bumper got done today at badlands, and going to upgrade comms to a rugged radio setup. So much better than a CB

Thats a neat setup. I am taking a HAM exam in April but thought about just going this route. Test is easy and you can get a lot more radio for somewhere near half $. For strictly trail comms this is great. Let us know your review when its been tested.

Will do! I did my HAM test when I was like 12, it was super easy
 
Has anyone found a decent way to cover up the driver side inner fender area open ports to the engine bay? This is what has kept me fromm cutting mine all the way out.

No, but mine has been open for almost 7 years and 70k miles without any issues. I did seal up the electrical connections real good, but that's it.

Not really... I mean water will get in your engine bay no matter when its raining. Only thing im going to do is take the air intake "cup" thats in the fender well out and run the air intake in the engine bay
 
New rear bumpa from badlands. Sticks out a little further than normal but still not as wide as my tires. Next up is their 3/8” skid plate and tube doors

I was not.. Could have been Andrew or his cousin Mike who has a green 80 on 37's?
 
Been enjoying this thing and finishing up school, still have 3 weeks left. But hit walker valley today. Not many pics but a good day.
Also thought of possible plans for what to do next to this thing

Adding stickers to you car is a sacrifice to the Cruiser Gods to keep your headgasket safe and sound.
