Lol that's what I bought the tape for originally, the sliders. Works well I've had it on for 3 years now. Helps with loading kids in/out of car seats

I'm in Japan still so I haven't seen it but the daughter says the new geolandars are smooth. Not surprising but they're quieter than the 55k mile coopers
I fixed it just a little fun set back I'm back to off roading
It's a great tire. I have them on my Titan XD. Ben @Dissent is running them on his Saudi 80 while it's still stock.
First drive after rebuild! Overall she runs good. Need to iron out some kinks, but overall succesful first drive! The 5 speed is awesome, very happy with that part.
She said "road noise is 0 dad"
Honey you're 18 and drive a 35 year old diesel land cruiser. You're world is road noise.
I went to install new batteries on my 90' HDJ81. It has 12v starter conversion so batteries are wired in parallel and the second battery runs a fridge, camp light ect. It had x2 power group 27 and 27f batteries. I dont want to use these again as you need 14.2 to 14.8 v to fully charge and alternator doesn't produce that reliably. Went to install costco interstate mtp 27f before I realized I needed one 27 and one 27f which interstate does not make both in either a mtp or mt. I do not want to mix varying battery types and my leads are not long enough to get away with the wrong group. Anyone have any good recommendations?

Out in Salada CO and ran Yansang (Chinaman) Gulch with a buddy, fun times! A little damage so I decided to de flare for now.

And took my 85 year old friend, he had a blast! Staying at his 250 acres and heading out to BLM for a quad ride tomorrow with my wife and friends.
was noticing that as well. interesting for sure
Fixin leaks preparing for El Niño. Discovered this leak by noticing rust in jack mount.
The water trail makes me think water is getting behind vent from top rain gutter and getting in at screw hole or trim, as the foam around clips and screw has disintegrated away.

Started the weekend early an put a new rear driveshaft in. Standard length and travel but 2.5" D, .120 wall and 1350 joints in my 1995 FZJ80. It is very well balanced btw.
Highly recommend these guys Home | Custom Driveshafts from Full Torque Driveshafts Inc. - https://www.fulltorquedriveshafts.com/ and told them they need to advertise on here as it took me awhile to find them. Called them up and told them what I wanted. Same price point as Tom Woods but 1350 joints for an 80 series on stock flanges which TW couldn't do. Actually if going to 1350 joints probably cheaper for Toyota as TW has you change your flanges.

You can’t put 1350 u-joints on stock Toyota flanges
I would say that’s a adapter flange and not a stock Toyota flange
I believe he was talking about not requiring a change to the companion flange located on the transfer case and differential.
Nice to have info on another vendor.
Exactamundo. TW requires you to swap flanges on T-case and driveshaft. This is direct fit. My FZJ80 is a 66mm square pattern for what its worth
