Some recent journeys :) multiple trips to Death Valley, always with Saline as the Ultimate Destination

Info I've saved up on sealants i prefer! some good for vertical, some must be used if horizontal. some permanent, some better for temp solutions like a grill cover. and not Northstar at all: repairing.replacing the ridiculous ARB fridge DC plug. Polarity! so one can splice in a...

The front and rear tires are in line with each other. Its just the fenders that are bulging out in front. Not planning to run rear bulging fenders. Although there are glass fenders for the rear available. The rear quarters and fenders are much more vulnerable to rocks, so having them stick...

Nice! Any chance that link kit for your rear will not dig into the cab? As in, will it tuck under and be adaptable/fit the 4th gen t4r? That would be SWEET!!!

Yes, i must! :) tried leaving for a couple years and it made my stomach upset! Seriously though, been here since '92. LOVE this place Why on earth would you leave?

Im running Glassworks Unlimited glass. Just put them on a couple months ago. Fitment is spot on once you trim them properly, and i will admit that i had them installed just for that reason- and because the relationship that the installer had with Glassworks. Fenders are built to order, it took...

This, of course, lead me to the GOODS!!! Im finally back on the road with this thing. Never done, naturally, but i can wheel again :wings: Spun off the highway on the way home from the alignment to get the rubber dirty and scrape around on some rocks. Nothing wild! No big flexing or...

Busted out the passenger side front suspension on Monday. All went smooth. heres the important torque specs for the front. Tuesday got a Brake Bleed with zero issues. Except my wife not being stoked pumping the pedal for ever. :) After that i went ahead and changed out the front and rear...

a couple brake bleed procedures to follow. Ive used the on my 10 Tundra successfully, but always have to hunt them down :) Here's the toyota procedure out of the 07' FJC repair manual. This is just for the front and rear lines. It's a good idea to put the top on the master to prevent...

Seriously! not cool at all, and i am really not sure why Toyota would not lube those cam bolts with something? The bolt was bonded with the sleeve deep enough that liquid wrench, heat, air hammer- nothing was going to break it free that i had avail. Except the Sawsall :)

Todays wrap-up! Finally with everything clean, prepped, welded, and painted. Put it together! Was only able to get the driverside finished today LCA bolted up, CV beat in, spindle on at the LCA, UCA attached at the frameside. Then the coilover gets installed. Once the coils in, attach the...
