@2fpower , how do you like the gearing?

@2fpower , how do you like the gearing?

I went from basically 4 to 6 with the gearing, so about a 30% reduction. Uphill is awesome to crawl that slow. Torque feels amazing. Downhill letting the engine slow you down is also great. Driving on the roads is fine, as long as you don't have to be on the highway. I would say with 35" tires, my top speed is about 45. Once I put on the 39.5 that should increase.

That portal setup is sooooo sick!!!!

Picked up a block for buddy, 331 Hemi. Slee coils held the weight great.

Swapped out the old Duralast alternator on my son’s 92. Apparently it was put in in 2002. VatoZone warranted it. 20 minutes and she was back up and running.

Put some marathon seat covers in the cruiser.

Picked up a extra t-case from @kbFJ60 for a little 3:1 and UD project.

Took the family out last weekend for a quick camp along the coast.

Then, went wheeling at Hollister Hills and met up with a crew of 9 80s. We outnumbered the Jeeps and Full Size Towmobiles! Pretty sick.

Just pull over in a parking lot and reset it before you go in

Thanks for your compliments. There are more details on the What the FOO thread.

Foo has been a trailer queen for a while. Most of our wheeling is 3 hours away from town, and with family, just makes sense to trailer.

Top speed right now is likely about 45, so not going to set any speed records; however, it really is smooth on the road... I think better than before.

Thanks! Yeah I know a cubby will bolt in there and I probably have the one out of my 4Runner still laying around somewhere. I'm just trying to think of something more useful or cooler to put there. I never really used the cubby in the 4Runner because stuff would just fall out of it so I ended up putting a CB there.

one of those combo altimeters/yaw/pitch inclinometer things would be cool!

Took the lady and a couple friends out for a little day trip out to Martinborough for brunch then down to Ocean Beach for a wee offroad cruise. Explored up and down some river beds and took some shots with the drone. NZ is such a beautiful country!

That would be prefect. I have one in my 4Runner but they are getting kinda expensive/hard to find.
