77 Series still looks better.

I don't know why it looks like I have a slight lean...I guess it is the angle of the photo or my 77 series is bowing out of respect to the new Tundra.
Your truck is so much better. I think with the lean, it's whispering "upstart, you got a long way to go"I don't know why it looks like I have a slight lean...I guess it is the angle of the photo or my 77 series is bowing out of respect to the new Tundra.
I've seen many of these, they just scream "big American pickup" to me... could be GM, Ford... anything.
Just did a drop of a hat 1000km return trip. My mate 's volvo amazon timing gear died halfway between Sydney and Melbourne. We had a job to do in Bendigo next day, so I had to drop everything and pick him up, virtually 9 hr straight drive.
Not many old cars can just do that.

My new 76 Series was delivered over the weekend.
It's soooooooo cute.
This past weekend I went down to Tennessee to join the 70-series meetup at Windrock. Still have yet to go through all the photos, but here are a few so far:

Was the FRP top pretty simple to take off ? I know there's a lot of bolts involved
The most annoying thing about taking the FRP Top is: You need to remove quite a bit of trim to actually reach the bolts. This includes rear side trim with that extra compartment on the left. The clip fastners are not really convenient to remove and not designed for period reuse. Some more trim on the windshield top.
The actual bolts are 3 on each side, one each corner and a couple on the windshield frame. And one behind the FRP decal on the rollback each side.
If you want to remove the door tops, too it's a bit more work. All in all it can be done in less than 1 hour. Well described in the manual.
But it's a two persons job.
Getting it on, with all seals and weatherstrips in right position and water thight is a different story, though.. Cheers Ralf

SILVER Star
My 74's piece of trim has gone missing since someone "cleaned up" my shop and storage areas.
The Imron Hight Gloss doesn't require a clear coat but I decided to apply one anyway with industrial strength (it's practically unscratchable)
Raptor floors matching colors very happy! Next week troop going back on the frame and will be painted...

Looks great mt72, I almost went color match on my raptor floor, but decided on charcoal since I'm running the factory vinyl up front.
This must looks amazing! Mine too will be covered with insulation, aluminum checker plate and vinyl black! Raptor inside and underneath is really to prevent any rust to come back screaming especially I aim for more northern aventure then your typical overlander
Shoot us a picture of the raptor
Finally finding time to work on my “overlanding” rig.
