LOL @ the left over poutine! Don't let the photos fool you, I mess a lot of things up, which results in a lot of "we do it nice because we do it twice!".... It's been another frustrating 2 days of metered progress. Managed to get the ARB ring gear holes opened up to 9/16" and this is one task...

The first pattern was not bad for a total shot in the dark. Pinion was definitely too deep After a couple more attempts, I settled for this. Pinion is still a bit on the deep side, but for the front diff this will be more than adequate. There is something so satisfying about running this...

Just a really coarse cup and disc wire wheel and then hit with some rust preventative paint. Thanks for all the good words above. I need to get you all to convince my wife this is a good idea... Started mocking up some parts to see what I had and still needed This was a disappointing start...

I really enjoyed reading this so far, can't wait to see the next progress pics. It's great to see your thought process and rational. We are currently embarking on a project encompassing a few of these items, singles, flat deck and custom camper. I'm torn on the composite vs full-frame aluminum...

New to me hydroboost all cleaned up and painted. Last big purchase for a minute - all new brakes, seals, steering components, etc. Axle prep So happy I went the 1-ton route. Beefy stuff to handle the abuse. I plan to extend the frame and slide the rear axle as rearwards as I can get...

Brought the raw pieces in for powder coat Nice and shiny afterwards, won't stay this way for long... Shortly after this I went to drop off my rims and get them mounted on the new tires. Only to have the tire shop immediately damage 2 of the wheels. Luckily they came to the table and ordered...

I opted for the S&B 62 gallon tank. This was not a cheap option but 100% necessary. The factory range is not nearly enough. With the truck in stock trim and the new fuel capacity, I was getting 2000+ km out of a single tank. Next up I replaced the entire fuel system up to the CP3 The stock...

I doubt there was much gains to be had by replacing the hot side charge pipe but I was doing everything else, so I decided to do this last piece at the same time. Another one I'm not sure if there was much value, but I opted for a welded water pump. Apparently, these are prone to spinning the...

Ok, so what was wrong with the truck - check engine light for a boost leak, rust on rear pass door, leaking transmission (bad), & oil leaks. The suspension was completely clapped out, all 4 shocks were leaking/blown, steering was worn out, rusty lines everywhere, leaking t-case & brakes were...

I'm finally getting around to starting a build thread for this dream project. About a year and a half ago, we had our son, which quickly pushed the need to start planning for a larger overland rig for our family. Our current set-up has undergone many transformations and has served us well for...

The amount of money I've seen thrown into these bush trucks is unreal. It would fun to take one out and properly put it through it's paces. Thanks, planning to post the new build in the full-size area shortly. Thanks, freezers were definitely full this winter. New build will get posted shortly...

Awesome build, the finish work on the interior is stunning. Looking forward to seeing some more photos.

Absolutely awesome build, talk about doing it once and the right way the first time. Any plans to add a skid for the fuel tank?

The wife made it happen one evening on this great looking Sow. I kept at it for another week, First snow arrived early Oct A couple of days later I connected with this smaller muley, which is making fantastic table fare. A friend of ours got a small buck as well, so we had a little...

^ Having spent 25 years in eastern Canada, I can confidently say that the countryside in British Columbia is stunning. We’ve only just begun to explore it. The new truck will be getting a build thread in the new year. I've done a fair bit of work so far, but I will hold off until I really get...

^ Bad influence haha About a month behind here, hit the road for an upper arrow lake trip I think we took 3 or 4 different ferries during this trip up the western side of the lake, We hopped from formal rec sites to secret gems Stunning weather and not a lot of other travellers, perfect...

^ Thanks for the good words above. Hoping to get back to somewhat regular updates but free time has become a bit of a commodity... The biggest hurdle seems to be finding a somewhat clean and original one. There are a lot of trucks with tunes, which I'm not opposed to, but it seems to be...

Another camping trip and another washed out road, Heading to plan b and yup, stuck again, this late season mash potato piles are no joke. Nice surprise at camp, Cleaned up that bear skull. It never ceases to amaze me how tough these animals are. This one had teeth worn down to the gums...

3rd or 4th trip out with the family and I was lucky enough to connect with this great bear. This will be a core memory for me. Another trip out exploring some old roads, The road ends here for us. I never want to lose the ability to camp anywhere we want. It was getting late so we set up...

With our test run in the books, we set out on a multi-night trip a bit further away but nothing crazy. Beauty beach site all to ourselves. At some point a critter chewed my hood liner and started to nest in the engine bay. Luckily this was the limit of the damage. After this trip we took...
