No real news on that build front as I’ve been working out of state for an extended period, but here’s a photo I snapped before I left. Old vs New. Fun seeing how similar the styling cues are with a 25 year plus age difference.

Top of the morning Docster! Not sure what kind of rig you're running, but here is what I do for mine with 285/75R16 BFG Load-range E K02s. They're on a 1992 Chevrolet K1500, regular cab, short bed pickup that weighs in at around 4,650lbs over the scales. Unloaded: 36psi front and rear Towing...

Very nice and well thought out build; beautiful truck! The wheelbase and packaging of the quad-cab Ram 1500 with the 6'4" box and Super Pacific X1 looks perfect. Nice 350 Husky as well.

Very cool rig! I, like many others, had no idea a v8 was offered in any of the Trailblazers other then the SS. Good to know! I've always loved the size of these rigs, they're comfortable and I'm excited to see where you go with it!

Very nice! Beautiful coloring on those brookies!

Thank you for the kind words @Flazer! While I have not yet owned an 8-lug OBS (GMT-400) what I do know is that it’s pretty common for folks to swap 8 lug NBS “PYO” code aluminum 16x6.5 wheels with 285/75R16 tires (32.8” tall and 11.3” wide) onto their 2500 and 3500s. It’s not recommended by the...

Hmmm, interesting! I hope some folks with 3500HD experience chime in! Since it's a 1994, would that be the last hurrah for the mechanical 6.5TD or was the the first year of the electronic 6.5s? I have to admit that I've lusted after the GMT400-based 3500HDs with the 4x4 conversion. Just seems...

Nothing noteworthy to report as the hatches are getting battened down for winter other then more parts gathering and getting other jobs and projects wrapped up so I can make a push here this winter and finally get this project rolling right and proper. While the truck is nearly rust free (only...

That all makes perfect sense @SoyBoy. Indeed, a 105 LHD diesel would be incredible although the seem as rare as hens teeth in this part of the world. Just out of curiosity, what is parts availability like for an imported diesel 80 series LC's like in your part of Canada?

An interesting discussion for sure! It sounds like both the manual and auto choices for the HDJ81 are reliable enough (when maintained), sounds like a toss up more based on preference and availability. I'm not a Landcruiser guy per se, but I would assume we're talking about the H150/H151 (For...

I'm still enjoying the heck out of this thread all these years later; keep up the great work Drei!

Very cool! I'm diggin' it! Always loved old Cornbinders!

Just found this thread, what an awesome rig and great wheelin' adventures @cgalpha08! I saw your SAS thread on the H40 forum and the way you documented it was top notch! Keep up the good work!

Oh man, that freezer full o' moose is a thing of beauty! Looks like a long winter of good eating right there. My mouth waters just thinking about bone broth soup or stew. Bummer on the fuel tank, but very neat on the leaf springs. Its cool that you all have small local shop where you can spring...

Great looking rig @Madmaxwell87! I'm digging the thoughtful modifications for the specific purposes you're going to use your Bronco for. Keep up the good work!

Nice work!!! That moose is a 'beaut! As always, I'm enjoying the heck out of your exploration, scouting and hunting stories and photos. Best thread on ExPo in my humble opinion! Keep up the good work!

Long overdue photos of the garden for @Explorerinil. Didn’t think to take any photos earlier in the summer when everything was tall and green, but since it’s October and we’re still getting a few tomatoes, it’s a win in my book. Also did a few pots of rhubarb (for strawberry rhubarb pies of...

Just Awesome! Also, to all potential engine swaps, nice ideas all around folks, but I get the feeling our author is a GM 60 degree V6 guy... Just a feeling. ? Have a great start to the season!

I drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levy was dry... ?

Awesome! I agree with everyone, best thread ever! It’s so cool to see the new camper out and about and your guys’ paddling, fishing, hiking and hunting photos are flat out beautiful! Awesome find on the SAS components. The Dana 30/Ford 8.8 are a great combo. I take it you’re going coils up...
