Took a trip up to the Sierras July, 2018 with the crew. Ran strawberry lake trail. One lousy pic...

Hit some trails up in Lake Arrowhead september, 2018 with @Sac Cerevisiae and his sweet 200 series...

Went to Turf & Surf for the 2nd year in a row November, 2018. Waaaaay better weather this year and had a great time! Cruiser ran perfectly on the 600 mile journey. Had such a good time, never stopped to snap a pic of the truck...just a dead whale and a beer by the fire...

Logged about 800 more miles November, 2018. Headed up primarily to have a Long Range Automotive 24 gal Auxiliary tank installed at Valley Hybrids in Stockton, but stayed in SF and had some fun. Full thread here: Long Range Automotive LRA 24 Aux Tank Meets an 80 Series Land Cruiser

Been busy with all new OEM brake lines OEM wheel studs, EBC rotors/pads, calipers, and refinished my hubs. Was a PITA , but it's done. Feb, 2019

How are those brakes working Jules? I just deleted abs with new calipers and ceramic pads up front with no love. I always felt that the stock MC had a small bore for the job so I ordered a hydroboost kit with 1,125” bore MC. Watch me stop now ..... info to come ....

Pretty good Lance. Slight braking improvement. I still have the rears to finish and I'll be changing out the MC and booster as well. I saw your post about deleting the abs and was curious about performance...

How is the King stabilizer holding up, do have a link to where you got it?
Thanks

Loving the updates and progress. Looking to get one of these sooner or later. Enjoy seeing types of updates need to take place!

Much better than my OME, but my OME was 10 years old so there's that. Probably not worth it for the price, but the King is quite nice. Got it from accutune offroad

Very disappointed so I’m splurging on a hydroboosted system with a larger MC. I did this on a Dodge ramcharger I freaked out a few years ago and I could lock up 40’s with just my big toe. Note that this was with 4 wheel discs on one ton axles. I’m fed up with inadequate brakes.

Added about 1400 miles since January. Mostly California/Arizona/Nevada/Utah travel. Hit Park City/Snowbird/Snow Basin January 2019. Zion March 2019. Added RTIC cooler which is a huge upgrade to my old igloo special. LRA aux tank took me from so. Cal to Utah without having to stop for gas...crazy!

 

[baldilocks]

Your cooler bears a striking resemblance to my Yeti. Nice photos....

Yeah...it's basically a Yeti knock off. $300 for a 110 quart RTIC, so it was hard to justify a Pelican or Yeti from a price vs. performance perspective. 2 20lbs bags of ice added on Sunday evening...still frozen Thursday afternoon.

Very cool build, well done man.

 

[ewillis]

Not much going on. Passing some smog in Cali...gotta say it was a good day.

Took the kids hiking slot canyon in anza borrego.

plenty of social distancing...not another soul in sight.
