[ROBsSON]

Got to get the truck out for the first time since I've owned it! Went out to the ONSC Christmas party and meet a lot of great cruiser guys and gals!! No cool action shorts sorry was to busy having fun!

Did some light trails with @jfz80 @jamesurq amd @Trollhole look forward to the next time!

Took it to some bike trails in Austin. How do y’all load your bikes? I was surprised how well I was able to get it to fit inside without taking up a lot of room. Probably wouldn’t work with anything bigger than a 21", however.

I also got some goodies in the mail from Cruiser Corps.

Just got the first coat of paint on the "inside" of the hood

You aren't going to need headlights....just "glow through the darkness" at 65mph...

Interesting ratchet. What kind is that?

Facom Ratchet

Removed the massive bumper and PTO winch.. I could not stand the look any longer.. sucks the Winch had to go for now but I never used it and it had a leak. That thing weighs so much.. new bumper will come at some point in the future.

drenmaster, this works great and can be made from a piece of 2X6 and a bent tube, flat bar and a few pieces of angle. but like you, it's just temp until I can make a better bumper. I can send you a drawing if you'd like?

I must be going soft cuz I most definetly let another person put his hands to work on my truck today. Got the manifolds on and tight. We (him) added a smear of copper permatex to the intake ports and tightened her up. Nothing more than a .002 feeler can squeak be now anywhere along the mating surface to one oem gasket.
Got to the carb and couldn’t locate the fourth nut. Talk about deflated!
I was lucky to find one M8x1.25 nut in a bun at Ace that was an exact match in height. But was dark by the time I got back home so will keep chugging along tmrw.

Did you get the manifold planned/machined before install?

I like the look and seems pretty easy to fab up.. unfortunately I lack the tools haha.. the cost of a bumper is what's making me wait to get one.. guess u could just buy the tools for the price of a bumper and try my luck with some fabrication.

Yes but the place that did it did a s***ty job and I’ve been fighting it for a long time. That guy in the pix took the intake to work and place it on a true stone and found the outer ports were cupped straight down. He and the lead machinist were able to figure out the other place put it on a side mill and either end shimmied just enough to cause cupping. It’s flat now!

It's from lcwizard on here. Here is his website 4PlusProducts | Land Cruiser Parts and Accessories

Some friends and I caravanned out into the Mt Hood National Forest to find some Christmas Trees!

This is the first time I took my newish 255/85/16 Toyo MTs into the deep snow and I'm pretty happy with how they performed.

Once we got our trees, we decided it would be fun to keep climbing up a rough forest road until the snow got too deep for the little Ford Ranger in the pack.

We limped along until we found a spot to a wide enough to facilitate a turn around. Despite the foot of fresh powder on the ground, the Landcruiser performed a J-turn without too much trouble, but reversing back uphill just wasn't happening without chains. Luckily, I was with the right kind of women folk to help me figure it out:

The 2016 TRD Pro 4runner in our group tried to scoot by me but ended up with his backend sliding precariously down into a steep ditch instead, which got an expected reaction after hearing him brag about the fancy ATRAC control system all morning. With a little help from the Jeep Wrangler and a tow rope, we got him unstuck and everyone made it off the mountain in one piece.

Way to go having a couple of smart ladies w/ you. Where’s the pix of the tree you guys snagged?

 

[lechnito]

@NeverGiveUpYota, yeah! They figured out how to chain me up despite not having directions. Very impressive.

Sorry for the poor lighting, but here's the tree:

Ventured out for some wheelin and scenery near Top of the World. Warm but windy day. (These are the first pics I've posted)
