Made my own panhard adjustments
Then I had a drive line issue so I picked up a Double Cardan joint from a friend
But the driveshaft needs to be balanced still

I only fabricate because I don't have much money, but drop material and m y time is cheap

Did some testing with the 37's. Need to get them better balanced and do some trimming

Ordered a 4x4 labs rear bumper and they happened to have one sitting on the shelf ready to ship. So it has been sitting waiting for me to finish cutting the frame. Also need to put on my extended brake lines and ARB breather kit. Also looks like I need to replace an inner axle seal and my oil pump cover. Will be excited when it feels like I'll be done with baseline maintenance and have the 37's on and it drives decent

After I get the bumper on, 37's balanced and mounted, and other maintenance I may be selling it. Just maybe

Fighting the H1 beadlocks. Even more work involved with them.
I’ve run h1 locks in the past ona a More dedicated Offroad rig with out recentering using Dually hubse. There is a reason they only go 55mph in the military.... I would never run them in a dd overland type rig. I’d always have a second set. If I wanted that aggressive. I’d guess your recenters are not great either. Steel wheels get a bad rap due to cheap versions. I can’t think that an aftermarket recenter can even come close to better than cheap aftermarket production wheel. (No offense trailworthy). They offer a unique product for the hardcore type.
Great work, and ingenuity.
I'm looking forward to seeing some wheeling picks. Being from Meridian, I love seeing the beautiful Idaho scenery.
The high mountain desert is very different from the highlands jungle.

No but it's pretty easy once you know how much crap to cut and grind off. I don't have much time to myself to work on my projects so most of my projects are done in the middle of the night after wife/kids are asleep.
I feel ya. Usually how I gotta roll too. Ain't no sleeping in after an all nighter in the garage either

Nope, but worth it. My kids and wife are the main reason I even old the Tacoma and got this cruiser. I wanted to work on days so I sold my Tacoma to afford the pay cut and wanted better seats for my kids.
That's what I used to do as well, now my boys are 20, 17, 16, we are all in the workshop right now working on the 80. Put the time in when there young. It will pay off beyond your imagination. My motto has always been be a dad today so I can be there friend later.
