For me I'm a major tinkerer so I don't mind it too much but it's a curse in itself because if I had the chance I'd have a full fabrication shop, a woodworking shop, autorepair shop...I kinda do at a micro scale in my garage but limited on space, time and money :D But yeah you should feel spoiled...

The R50s are fantastic trucks, the biggest downside is the aftermarket support so unless you enjoy the challenge of making custom parts or retrofitting from other trucks keep the R50 as a DD but look elswhere if you want to build a serious offroad rig. I started with the "oh I only want a 1.5"...

Thanks man! Here's one more pic from the trip.

A friend invited me for a day trip out to Joshua Tree this past Sat. We had a fantastic time shooting some fun guns (on BLM land adjacent to JT before entering the park). Lots of folks were out shooting there, in fact, we were surprised but after all the rain we've been getting it was a...

Geez man, thank you for doing what you're doing to help the poor suffering creatures, breaks my heart to see pictures like this. What could this little helpless pup had done to deserve this. There's so much hate in this world. The news is full of stories about how people torture animals for the...

Crap, I was trying to edit my last post on my phone and I deleted it...awesome! :D Anyway, the short and the long of my last post was if there's interest i can have the DIY (weld it yourself) kits made.

I got that too - but nothing for those of us who haven't suffered the engine damage yet. I wish they offered to do the repairs free of charge if the truck falls in the VIN# range regardless of the mileage/years etc.

Oh and while I was at it I removed the rear bumper and got the hitch receiver welded on to the back bumper too.

Hey guys, the bumper is just about done minus a few asthetic tweaks etc. It was a lot of fun building it especially since a friend of mine with a CNC setup was able to cut many of the pieces for me which sped up the process. In fact, since most of the pieces are already programmed into CAD it...

Hey thanks wreckdiver, yeah been a while. I started catching up on your thread but i realized I need a couple of months lol but enjoying the excellent pics from your overland-honeymoon! :)

Haven't been on here in a while, great to see the X has come a long way. Do you have any pics of how the snorkel fits on the inside and how it connects to the intake? Also look forward to reading your impressions of the awning, I've had mine for a couple of years and I've only deployed it may...

Just watched the two videos, very cool!

Also starting on the front bumper build. Similar to the rear bumper (as well as through-out the truck) I'm going for something functional, lightweight and unique to my truck. Having gained some experience building the rear bumper I'm hoping this one will be just a bit easier.

Finally a small update after a long time... While the Sterlite clear bins under the storage platform worked OK it was impossible to get at the stuff in the back without removing a whole bunch of stuff from the front. Not a huge deal but it's about improving things. So I built a couple of simple...

I appreciate the kind words. Congrats on your Pathy purchase, they're fantastic little trucks. Mine has definitely provided me memories worth a lifetime.

^justcuz, great to see your avatar pic (I just ran into it here in Jack's thread). Not sure where you found it but that's my truck made up as a bday cake (my 40th) courtesy of my gf. The kid in the pic is my buddy's son. I have some of those pics in my build thread :)

I have lots of catch up here but agree with others, your pics suck me in for days of reading and dreaming of similar trips. But this one right here is pretty much my future retirement property:

Nice work there, the X looks great with that Frontier bumper! :bigok:

Thanks for the bump...sorry I've been MIA. Not much to report on the Pathy- the good news is that I still have it but the bad news is I rarely drive it these days. Work's been very demanding and our dog Buddy passed away unexpectedly end of last year so I haven't (nor the family) been motivated...
