    Lowest height roof rails

    replied to your pm too, originally used 1x2 rectangular stock, but it wasn't in the cards to make them wide enough to really support the maggi, plus the maggi ubolts aren't quite wide enough to bolt on. i will be going to 1x1 stock this summer sometime and welding nuts into the stock so i don't...

    Latest Photo?

    the latest project tucked away in the garage. i don't need another project, i still have one pig i have to cut the front suspension off of and redo and finish the engine swap, another pig that needs body work and keeping the 80 in good shape is getting to be a full time job, don't even mention...

    Lowest height roof rails

    i'm not happy with the height on the yakima a1s that i've got now. i need figure out a way to make my gamviti mounts work with longer rectangular stock for my maggi as the rtt is much closer to the roof than with the yakimas. not the best pics, but if you look close, you can see the...

    good luck chasing your issues. i'm in a bit of the same boat. rig was fine before it sat for seven months, now in less than a week both batteries are dead. i had fixed a parasitic draw before hand and the draw was under .50 and testing today confirms it still is. are the batteries agms...

    How to build an 80 on a budget

    you can probably tell, i'm also a fan of the aussies. have e lockers in the 80, but ran aussies in the blue pig, the 60 and the 40. the 40 had potential to be scary being a short wheel base, but it really didn't see snow/ice driving except snow runs and i never had an issue. the 60 was a...

    Post your tents

    a year and a half later, i am still convinced maggi is the way to go. now, i've convinced my other half too. he suggested that "just in case", we mount it on the 80 again before heading out on a, hopefully one day, 800 mi road trip. at 6', he still thinks the medium is fairly comfortable. i...

    Ham radios. What is everyone using

    in my 80, i run the yeasu 7800, i also have 5xr that i found used on craigslist for $150 with a bunch of accessories. if you don't have to have dual band and money's an issue, look into a 2800 mobile and a small handheld.

    what about rei

    well, i'm glad you think everyone should enjoy ohv's in an off road park. let me know when you find a park with enough land to "expedition" in. remember, this sight is for those of us that enjoy four wheeling, hiking, biking, two wheeling for days with no contact. you will never get that in a...

    what about rei

    i refuse to support companies that pretend to support the outdoors while trying to shut down a lot of recreationalists. rei, patagonia, teva, camelback...they all are off my list.

    Cruiser Therapy: LaOutbackTrail's FJ62 Landcruiser

    hold off on the lift as long as you can...the rig's down anyways. if you look for it, it won't be there, but when you're not looking, you will score.

    Handling Rough and Washboarded Roads at Speed

    i've done the air down thing, but not drastically...even going to 25psi makes a huge difference in ride. but as mentioned, it rattles things loose. watch for control arm bolts and brake pad pins to come loose, along with other things. everytime you stop, do a cursory glance to make sure...

    Air Lockers or Factory Lockers, and M8000 winch questions

    sounds like the arbs weren't setup correctly. were they new or older oring versions? the old orings were problematic. pighead and i both have arbs in pigs and they've been flawless (ok, well mine was flawless years ago before i downed that rig). i have e lockers in my 80 and have had to...
