Swapped out a bad driveshaft.. by the way, the late-model Toyota driveshafts have super thin-wall tubing compared to the old Cruiser stuff, apparently. This unit was from a GX470 and would not have lasted an hour on the trails I’m used to. Not sure if picture conveys well but those dents are deep
Put a 12h-t in it!
Just sitting in there, and so very much more to do but that is a huge motivator seeing the engine sitting in the chassis.

I wish my farm 60 was that sweet. Nice truck.
Grabbed the family and decided to go exploring offload on old fire roads. Pretty fun. My little guy enjoyed it too.

I see Black Butte in the distance. So much volcanic history in that part of the Cascades. Looks like a great time Justin.Grabbed the family and decided to go exploring offload on old fire roads. Pretty fun. My little guy enjoyed it too.
Went on 12 mile hike with the wife to Badger Lake Sunday and nobody was there.

Uhh! That’s awful! In my whole life, I’ve never been subject to such abuse!
It will be ok! You’re good enough! You’re strong enough! And dog gone it, people like you!
Are you doing a rear bumper design?
Installed extreme anti inversion shackles on Roscoe. Nice wheel well clearance for the 35s now. Netted around 1” extra lift over the TPI 2.5” I have. Left the Classic cruiser rake in the rear, should settle a bit once I get a rear bumper.
nice graphics!

Possibly, time permitting
Do tell about said bleach treatment.
How did you get such clean lines on the white letters?
Absolutely horrible. I dont recommend it to anyone doing such a large piece as the grill or deep as the headlight bezels.
Gave everything a good sanding.
Went to target and got a plastic bin that would hold everything and filled it with 4 or 5 gallons of clorox bleach.
I noticed a reaction immediately. 4 hours later I could no longer smell any bleach or see a reaction going on.
There was a decent amount of discoloring and some new flaking going on, plenty of black sediment.
Round 2 I decided to go get my bleach at the dollar store. 1/2 the price and seemed to be twice as strong. I dumped 6 gallons in.
I let it sit over night. There was still copper and chrome left all over the grill and bezels. It looked absolutely horrible.
So i figured why not go for round 3 and thats where most all the plating was removed. To get rid of all the bleach "properly" I took it to the local waist disposal place. The ENTIRE cargo area was filled with bleach containers.
After all that I spent an afternoon filling/gluing cracks and sanding by hand to even out the specs of copper left over.
Relatively so much time and $ spent to remove the chrome, my OCD set in and I didnt want to have to sand and paint in the future.
Probably wouldnt do it over again tho.
