It finally dawned on me last night when I was looking at 5th wheels, what a large company MORyde is. Pretty awesome to see the diversity of product they are involved in. Hope the show goes awesome. :beer:

Awesome to see it driving. :beer: How is the steering working, now that you've had a chance to work it out?

I've been stranded by both auto trans and manual trans over the decades. But since the automatic was a column shift, my girl friend and I took advantage of the time. Where as the manual was a floor shift, and not near as "fun". Your break down may vary. :elkgrin:

Found the article. It has a picture of the Land Cruiser, but barely mentions it otherwise. Right hand drive model. :) http://www.fourwheeler.com/features/1710-1946-jeep-cj-2a-flatfender/

Last weekend the '07 Ram 2500 4x4 cc/sb got weighed on a CAT scale. The front axle alone was 4,480lbs... :eek: That is heavier than some of my previous rigs total weight. It really made me think about the amount of energy stored/released in the springs. Also made me think about the...

x2 :beer: Best mod is airing down for washboard. I noticed the new Falken AT3W is designed to carry heat away from the area right above the bead when aired down. That is a beautiful thing. :) I've had bead separation on certain tires when running aired down over long distances, at speeds...

Forget the vehicle, I want one! Hence why I wrote "... for those who play first and think later..." ;) If they want to play hard, and buy things that protect their rigs so they can, that makes sense to me. Over the past 3+ decades of wheeling the Sierras, I've not used a snorkel either...

I just saw something on an LC with this engine. It was part of another article, but I can't remember where I saw it. It was a group running together with Cummins engineers doing datalogging. If I run across it again, I'll post the link. It had a real short write-up on the LC, which is a...

Several JKUs have suffered hydro-lock when playing in the water/mud puddles. That is not just a JK thing, as I've pulled a few people out of holes where they've been overzealous with speed and locked up their engine from water/muck ingestion. So for those who play first and think later, a...

x2! Hope it is a fun filled exciting adventure west. :beer:

Two thoughts on payload come to mind: The current JK has a payload of about 800 lbs. The JL will have a payload of over 1,200 lbs The JT will be 1,400 lbs (that's 3/4s of a ton, which seems substantial in a "mid sized" truck) The JT payload is not a whole lot more than a 4 door JK Rubicon...

Yeah, I've done a lot of work on that front. I worked with Rob Bonney on a custom torque converter plate adapter, that is filled with polyurethane, then used a fluidamper for a 6BT (which also included a bracket for CPS :)). It also has the Lord hydraulic engine mounts. All in all the...

I just turn the screen sideways and your pictures look perfect... ;) You are in distinguished company when it comes to sideways pictures. Lots of threads here with sideways pictures, normally when posted from a cell phone direct to forum.

Definitely awesome report and pictures! Great looking truck and camper. :beer:

This is really looking good. :) On the door strips, will you be able to run a bulb seal back in at each corner to keep road spray for working it's way inside? Definitely like your idea on the red lights. A dim red light source is really helpful at night

Top bag & tote Smittybilt has a real nice top bag, which will hold the whole top, plus a lot more. It's almost three times the cost of your top, but it sure makes storing the top, and carrying around an easy thing...

Hot Yellow pursuit! Who are we to judge others Mike? "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." I'm thinking it is good to...

What a boring world it would be if every decision was made from the "accounting" perspective. :( I think people should buy what they want, and wish everyone the time to enjoy what they buy. :beer:

Power Wagons wheel Moab. I'm guessing the JT will do... Just Terrific. ;)

Cool! You know what "should" work perfect with this top, is Jeff's Barn Door setup. :)
