How were the coolant temps with the spare tire in front?

Naw. The bumper and tire carrier are from Myron at ZOR (Zuks Off Road) in AZ. I did have the shackle mounts welded on. Seems pretty stout. I rattle-can painted it for the inevitable scratches it will suffer, and possible future mods. The front bumper center section is from ZOR also, but the...

Just took these. Threw a can up there just for reference - it's not strapped in. Brian, give me some details on the extra tank... Are you going with the PW 15 gallon unit, or a separate tank?

I'll get some. Overall, I'm happy with how it came out. BE, oddly enough, I've been smitten with your rig, to the point that I'm in the early stages of squirreling away parts for a nice little tintop. Getting excited. I have a coworker who offhandedly mentioned awhile back I could have his...

Finally got the bulk of this year's mods done; went back to SPUA, using OME springs and shocks. New GY Duratracs in 235's on some refurbished TX-1 wheels. New ZOR bumpers (mostly), with a refurbished Warn winch, newly spooled with Superline. Already planning to install the other pile of parts I...

I love that truck more and more every time I see it! Way to go Jeff. You've totally earned it!

Ya know, one brand I've been impressed with is Crescent. I've got a few of their tool sets, in various sizes. For my first one, I bought a big all-in-one set about 10 years ago on a whim while in a big warehouse store. You know, the set that comes in a blow-molded case. I STILL use the snot out...

What do they mean? Your Land Cruiser is an AK-free zone? You're unarmed? How do Ugandans interpret it? Do you see these on other vehicles?

I just did exactly what you are proposing, for pretty much the same reasons. I haven't logged enough miles to form an opinion yet, but my little Samurai needs all the help it can get, so swinging a smaller tire seemed like a good idea. I actually lowered the suspension too, from what the...

My firefighter buddies swear by the Cold Fire stuff. Judging by the videos, it's pretty impressive stuff, non-toxic, and won't blow away like a vapor. The only thing that was causing me to hesitate buying some was the fact that since it's water-based, it would freeze sitting out in the truck up...

I get the Bring A Trailer daily e-mail, and I am always surprised at the occasional low-mileage trucks that they come across, like they've been almost stored away since new. SHouldn't be too hard to find what you're looking for; just might take a little time...

I have a Fiamma F45 on my Sprinter Westy. I bought a screen room from Fiamma, that's made up of a set of aluminum "beams" that fit along the side edges of the awning. These clamp the edges of the waning fabric, and are grooved with a channel to accept the side panels that have a "bolt rope" at...

Way to go, Jeff. You own probably two of the coolest trucks I know of. Good on ya for sticking with it!

What's funny is that about 90% of the time, somebody will say, heck, I can do just as good for cheaper. Then, after they spend the time doing the research, sourcing the parts, paying shipping, doing the assembly to the same level of finish, using the necessary tools and and machines, with the...

I'm interested in the winch controller... PM'd ya.

Holy cow!!! That is some incredible footage! How often do you get these things? Man, I'm lovin' New England right now...

Awesome!!!! :beer:

I look at my kid strapped in a car seat, and always think, I would have gone bananas in that thing if they had them when I was a kid. Remember, you can shift around for comfort, but kids car seats are usually rigid plastic things with surprisingly little cushion. I'd get cranky too, forced to...

I'd consider your environment; the white top is always practical, with maybe grey sides. I always thought that was good for an overlander...

Pretty groovy! Is that a huge skylight on top?
