Beautiful truck. I've never seen another blue one but im sure everyone else here has seen plenty.

Where did you get that grille? I want it!!

I made it. I picked up a 60 series Toyota emblem from a local club member, cut out the sombrero on my grill, and added the 60 emblem. It only cost me $20 and a little time.

The last 80 Series rear bumper made by @reevesci aka Jason aka Trail Tailor. This thing is ridiculously well made, as expected from Jason.

Off to powder tomorrow...

Oh the smoothness of new drive shafts, I did the rear awhile ago and the front to day, I feel like I have a new rig and I did not pull a @NLXTACY and write a whole thread on drive shaft issues, just get it done:flipoff2: . Oh and i adjusted my shift linkage to the transfer case what a PITA

And Raphael @Roxx is showing you what he feels in his pants after he saw it.
 
Been messing with the two fan clutches that I have (one black hub, one blue) and trying different oil weights to get a little better cooling. Was trying 20K CST in the black hub clutch, but might try 30K CST in the blue hub and see which fairs better.
 
Beautiful spot though, if you can get to it...

Palisade?...North fork American river still got a lot of water flowing down...makes fishing a Lil' tougher..

I need to do this hike down sometime, oh, when its cooler and not smokey ;)..still would be brutal though...

I'm in the middle of the same project (currently in the wait for it to drain stage). I'm going with 20k in the black aisin clutch. I cannot do the "wail on it in 2nd gear at 65mph" trick for very long before temps start to rise and AC cuts out. I hope it works!

Stanislaus above Big Trees. I'd like to see the N. Fork right now. This was two years ago:

My temps are too bad. Not getting to where the AC shuts off. I'm reading about 207* at the highest. Typically around 199-203*
 
My temps are pretty normal at any pace up until the point I do the 2nd gear trick. With the turbo off the truck and the 35's on, I've been doing a lot of the 2nd gear trick :o

Gonna have to give my cousin some crap for the weak tour...I was just in Big Trees last month. That looks pretty sweet. I did make to see all the cool stuff Georg had going in the shop on my way though.
