Why not? You made it look easy. Everyday, I check your post and progress, and recall similar terrain. It was Northern California - Redwood City - and the Peninsula was my range from the Bay to the Ocean, San Francisco to San Jose. You're posts really made me that, fiercely. I've even been...

Welcome and good luck on your trip; looks like you're well prepared for an adventure. Nice pictures and good looking truck - the only thing I see that you might want to move is your OBA manifold. Perhaps its just the perspective from how the image was captured, but it looks a little exposed...

On the bottom stand piece, the grate looks different between the 2 grills.

Whew! I was worried about the annual royalties...

OBTW Adam. I'm going to plagiarize your rocker switch - dash modification for the additional controls I need to put in the cabin.

Nice job - looks good and that extra plate you added to the hinge assembly should make it much more secure! I did the receiver tube and locking hitch pin as well - an elegantly simple solution for spare tire security. Just a thought for when you get cabin fever... we used brake line as a...

I think you might start here first: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/52528-Collection-of-Build-Threads Go through those vehicles and builds to get an idea what your build might end up looking like, according to your intended use. Then fine tune some of your questions from there...

While you're in the updating mood Dre, what's up with the Toyota PU you were rebuilding with the diesel. Yes, some of us still remember that beauty.

Thanks for your correction - I meant departure angle.

Nice job Adam. Not seeing how far the hinge is from the back and possible break-over angle, the only thing I might recommend is welding a couple pieces of steel on either side of the hinge as protection for the bottom of the hinge. Remote likelihood of that happening but it's the only...

Wow... that engine bay is immaculate. Almost too hard to believe.

It's amazing the number of people who insist or argue what a stupid decision you've made regarding the 5.29s... but the proof is in the drivability. I don't believe the charts take into account the other variables like the powerplant and transmission.

About the 5.29 gears... I agree completely. After a couple transcontinental trips on them... no question in my mind.

GAWD... you're worse than my wife!

Can your truck get any more cooler? I mean seriously... TEQ mudflaps, even.

I have not owned each but the choice for me would be simple, given your situation. Go bigger. My kids are grown and out of the house, but if I had young ones and wanted to share these experiences, I'd sell it in a heart-beat. You already know the answer though...

I you have the fever, try adding more cow bell. Good luck!

Why the heck am I excited about this? I don't even have a 2nd Gen... I'm glad it's working flawlessly so far and looking forward to your follow-on report! It gives me a little more enthusiasm for my auxiliary tank project. Just to confirm that your skid in made of Al, right; and the skid weight?
