I did. Managed to squeeze some into about half of them. But I think new bushings are a job for future me.
What did you do on your 70 series today?

Those Dunlop tires go forever!! A new project for a U.S. client, removing bumpers to make it easy to work with. This green is the stock Toyota color "6R7."
I am not too sure on the specific model I got. I bought mine from @joekatana several years back and it was labeled for a 76 with factory flares. It came with swing outs in the kit but I opted not to use them.
There is a great thread buried somewhere here that details installing the 76 version on a 77.
I like to put caps on the nipples (of the car!!!!) like they have on the brake calipers. Also when I grease the drivelines I wrap it with Saran Wrap for the first 50 miles to collect all the splatter grease.Fully in agreement. Tried to pump some grease into mine yesterday and they were very uncooperative.

Glad you specified there. Lol.
That's actually a great idea! I'll file that away for the next set of bushes.
Headed to Flagstaff (750 miles) tomorrow 5 AM and then back to Mojave on the weekend to work with NPS on marking and documenting remote camp sites. Traveling with permit in no-mans-land, sometimes with no roads. First real test for the troopy. I finished the gas stove and tested it but we also have induction inside the cab if needed. Only no fictional is the Hydronic diesel heater because the heater (single wire communication) does not match the controller (CAN bus) so I ordered a new/used heater from Espar with a new harness that support CAN bus. Hopefully works. I'll post photos once in Mojave.

Another burnt offering to the 24 volt gods, along with fresh candles to satiate their eternal glowing hunger...
Well, today was interesting. My daughter and I had an entire tree land on us while on the way to school. Not on my Troopy, on our more normal car, but this is my usual hang out, so I figured I'd post it here. Thank God for well built Toyotas. Safe and sound.
You moved the compressor? Really like those panels you have with the "pockets". Did you make them or source them?

They're from Mission 4x4 in Australia.
Replacement 1FZ-F that came out of 71Harrison's rig. Was thinking LS, but thought I would give the 1FZ a shot. Liking it so far. The 1FZ-F with a manual seems about the same as a 1FZ-FE with an automatic in terms of the butt-ometer.
Pfft bringing out the big guns. Was a blast running Jax Trax with you guys last year.
Muhammad,
Those wheels are sick. If they are the ones I think they are, I had them on an FJ62 way back in the day, previous owner traded them with an 80 owner with some cash on top.
