No update on warranty yet. :( My thought is, if they don't warranty it I will pull the front axle assembly and take it to a place in Portland called precision axle to get repaired. Once it is put back into factory spec we will weld a truss into it, reinstall into the truck and put the...

Absolutely agree with you. Wasn't being defensive, just a little frustrated with the circumstances I have found myself in. Its crazy to me, that if you actually use the truck within the perimeters of its stock suspension, it will break... Well, the milk is already spilled, no sense crying...

I will be interested in their response. My suspension has the same amount of shock travel as stock (crazy but true), AEV just moved everything down a bit. My front shocks are only 10" of throw. I would be interested in swapping in a power wagon radius arm with the extra link / bushing. Power...

A few upgrades this week (pics to follow). New radiator Swapping out the 12volt gen. to a 150 amp alt. New dual batt. All new cables New fuel pump New fuel lines All new hoses New-ish air cleaner assembly All new carburetor linkage and choke linkage New master cylinder a...

Quick update on the truck. I broke the front axle housing, seems as though I managed to twist the short side axle tube in the housing. Over the last few weeks I had noticed when I articulate the front suspension it was making a "significant Popping sound". I put it in the shop several times...

It deff. had a 106mm recoiless rifle mounted in it. ;) I am searching for a CJ3B safari wind shield frame to put on it so that I can actually have some visibility. Mod list : Kubota diesel swap SM420 4 speed Tera low 3.15 gears for the Dana 18 PRP seats covered in green canvas Cage...

It is tech. a CJ3B-J4 ( willys assembled by Mitsubishi ). I considered restoring it, but in the end, it would cost far more to restore than it would be worth. Plus, its just clean enough to utilize as a solid vintage platform. So vintage expedition vehicle it is, I am thinking vintage -...

Well, truck is mostly done and it was time to start a new project. I have a good friend who is into vintage / period correct over landing. ITs official, I have been bitten by the BUG. LOLOL

I am considering it.

I have been Daily Driving my 17 XL build, no issues at all. Yeah, tires aren't cheep, milage is affected a little, a little more difficult to get in and out of but all in all, I love it. Heck I even run it on 43.25" tires on bead locks for off road use. 37s are a great size though, less stuff...

I agree, just has not been a priority yet. I am getting closer to replacing the girl with a power wagon grill. I was thinking I would have it painted to match the tan in the graphics though, instead of black.

MMMMMM.... KOH. Couple of pics in route and on top of Fissure Mtn. to set up coms for the race team.

The tires are 42x14.5x17 Maxxis Trepador's. These are just my wheeling tires, still running the Continental MPT 81s on the road, but soon I will have a new set of Maxxis Rzr's in the 40x13.5x20 variety for daily use and the Conti's will be relegated to over landing.

I agree........ I also need some decent shocks, these bilsteins from AEV are abysmal.

Deff. The front bumper has to be trimmed no matter what and the same with the front inner fender liner support bracket. with 4" of backspacing the tire is very close to the radius arm. Even with the steering stopes from AEV added, a 4.5" backspace with this large of a circumference wheel will...

A few more pics. I will take some more detailed photos when I get back to the shop later this week. Basically, AEV indicates that you can run a 41.5" tire on a 17x10" wheel with 4.83" of backspacing. So, after some math I am running a 43x14.5" tire on a 17x8.5" wheel with 4" of backspacing...

Tires and wheels mounted today, and on the truck. Ummmm, and back off. Spent quite a bit of time today trimming the inner fender wells, cutting the front bumper and modifying the inner fender well braces to make room.... In the end, they clear but need to be balanced badly.

The rack is sold by Diesel Power Products. It is built by nemesis Ind. for DPP. Mine is a Short Narrow with a passenger side awning mount. The Awning is a Ezi Awn Bat 270. The Tent is a 23 Zero "Byron" model with annex room. I preferred the narrow so I could keep the awning closer to the...

Set up my gear today. ;)

I did have to super glue the small grommet into the large grommet and then I put some clear silicone on the outside just to add a little protection.
