Tackled the upper oil pan (arch seal) leak. Crossing both fingers that the oil leak was that not the rear main.

Statistics are numbers based off of real life experience, not individuals “that won’t happen to me” theories. I know there are a lot of people who can’t accept that bear spray is better, I’m just trying to spread the information. I live in NW Montana and see bears frequently in case anyone is wondering.

I did a weeklong hike every year for years in Grizzly country (mostly Montana - Bob Marshall and the Missions). My first trip I took a riot shotgun with slugs and pepper spray. If a bear had charged me I would have likely gone for the shotgun. The second year I took a .44 magnum revolver and pepper spray. The next year and every year after that, I took a .357 magnum and pepper spray (weight matters when you hike). The more I read accounts of bear attacks the more I believed in pepper spray. While I always took a gun, in the few instances I ran into a bear I was only thinking about the pepper spray, not the gun ...... and backing away slowly and smoothly, which turned out to be the best option. Unless you hit a grizzly in a vital spot, which is difficult with it charging you with its head down, your gun is only going to make it more angry. Pepper spray hurts a bear in its most tender spot, the nose.

Usually don’t get involved with gun arguments since guns are as personal as vehicle choices but for big brown bear hikes.

SW 329PD - 44mag as light as a subcompact
329PD - 25.2oz
Glock 30 empty mag - 26.3oz

I took my 1996 80 to ride for the first time at Hollytree in Huntsville, AL. Just bought the vehicle a few weeks ago and wanted to see what it was capable of. I was incredibly impressed. It was able to crawl up very technical rock trails with no problems. I am looking forward to adding upgrades in order to make it an even better rig. The pictures below are from this weekend.

Anyone know of other great spots to ride in AL or surrounding states?

I always recommend going to Stony Lonesome. It's in Cullman

Not mine but babysitting a Maltec 80 series with a Troopy body. Drives and performs like an 80 and looks like a Troopy.

Thanks for the information. I've been to Stony Lonesome before but we only rode Razors. I wasn't sure how the Land Cruiser trails would be. The place was really packed the weekend we went. Is it always crowded or did I just go on a busy day?

Ive enjoyed the series, first ones were better than the latest, but can still be a good watch.

I don't know, but whatever it is, I hate it.

Blazing Saddles (1974) clip with quote I don't know, but whatever it is, I hate it. Yarn is the best search for video clips by quote. Find the exact moment in a TV show, movie, or music video you want to share. Easily move forward or backward to get to the perfect clip.

Can I drop mine off at your place for the arch seal, looks like you have the procedure dialed in.

If you're ever in the Santa Cruz mountains I could use a chainsaw massacre spread out over 4 acres!

 

[bhsdriller]

WHAAATTTTTT !?!?!?!?!?! A 100 series in the 80 section !!!!!!! Ok, before you start screaming blasphemy at a Land Cruiser with independent front suspension I just wanted to throw out an invite to the Winter 4x4 Jamboree in SW Utah. I'd like to get a group of Toyotas around for the biggest winter jamboree in the US. Last year we had 860 vehicles and most of them were the four letter word. I'm thinking of a all Toyota trail ride on one of the days and some other activitys geared just for the MUD/Toyota crowd. Send me a PM if you're interested.

A buddy and I finished installing my King Springs lift on my 1997. I went with the HD lift, and it probably gave me 4" total coming from sagging stock springs. We also swapped out the rear brakes for a PowerStop kit. Picture during, and of mine beside my buddy's stock 1992 FJ80.

Broke in the new winch pulling oak trunks up to the road at the Dr’s place. Learned its much faster, easier, and funner to just put it in lo and wheel over to the trunks and drag them back using 3FE power. The metal winch cable is going in the trash, what a PIA that thing is- killed 2 hours at least wrestling with it in the spool. Good learning experience though, winching is hard work!

will work for Landcruiser parts
