Finished up the AC system. Replaced all o rings along with the drier. Now it's back to blowing ice cold. I also removed the blower fan along with some old smog stuff that had just been taking up space. I nearly have enough room to build a battery tray and set up a dual battery system. Not...

If I had the money today to buy a new set, I would probably go with the KO2s and sell these off at a loss. However, I'll probably just drive these until they crack and get a new set of KO2s at that point since this will basically be a free set. I think I'm done with the mud terrains for awhile...

A little update on the shaking: wheel bearings, trunion bearings, TREs were fine which meant the only thing other than the tires that could be causing the shaking would be the steering stabilizer. I started by swapping over the wheels and tires from my dad's 40th with 33" Duratracs that we...

Day 7 We left Moab early in the morning and made it way towards Fruita, CO to ride some of the the 18 Road Trails. Zippity Do Da was hands down one of my favorite trails I've ever ridden. It was a blast. After leaving Fruita we continued on to Idaho Springs to eat at Beau Jo's. I was...

Due to the time constraints I wasn't able to pull a vacuum and charge the AC with freon, so we went towards Moab without it. My power steering box has been leaking a little bit, but during this trip it started leaking quite a bit of ps fluid. Due for a rebuild pretty soon. I'm not sure if the...

Update on the tires After talking to the tire shop earlier this week, they were going to get me a new set and charge me for the wear I had put on the old set. I was kind of frustrated by that, as I wanted to just get my money back and switch to an all terrain, but it's not a huge deal. F these...

For spring break I'm heading out to Colorado for several days of skiing and then stopping in Cortez, Moab, and Fruita/Grand Junction to bike and get several days of off roading in Moab. I went home this weekend to give the cruiser some much needed attention. We took the roof top tent off, tore...

Thanks! They are Daystar rocker switches. I got them off eBay. About $10 a piece if I remember correctly. They set into a Blue Sea Contura switch panel

I recently built a console for my Land Cruiser after needing a secure way to store camera gear and electronics. My dad has a Tuffy in one of his FJ40s and the radio in it doesn't seem very distracting. I built my own console since to replace the tiny one that would only hold a pair of sunglasses...

Thanks! Put on some new strong arm hatch lifts today! It's been something I've wanted to do for awhile, but just never thought to do it. It's pretty awesome being able to pull the handle back and give it a slight upward nudge and it moves up. I used to have to push it halfway up before it...

After years hunting off and on, I finally acquired a passenger side grab handle. It was definitely one of the most nerve racking mods I have ever done. It was painful poking holes in my perfect dash, but well worth it.

Thanks! They've held up pretty well! I am pushing about 15,000 miles on them with several large trips and quite a bit of driving on different terrains.. No chunking on the sidewalls or anything weird. They've worn really well and evenly, but seem to have gotten slightly louder over time...

And here's a couple pictures from my trip last weekend to the Wichita Mountains. No off-roading as most of the land is a state wildlife refuge, but after 20 miles of riding through boulder fields, hiking, and climbing I was too tired to care.

Really the only time my 3FE is really slow is when I'm up in the mountains. On my recent trip to the Palo Duro where there were 4 of us, 4 bikes, gear, and the RTT I was able to go 65+ all of the way and sometimes 75-80. If you haven't regeared, I would start with that. I can't remember if...

Yeah it blew my mind. I started building up my 66 last night and it looks like it was hardly ridden. No cable run through the paint, and the only paint issues where from when the guy said he crashed in some rocks and it left the paint kind of black but it buffed right out. Swing outs clear the...

Glad you liked it. Thanks!

I started with the SB6C and it was a lot of bike for the trails. I never felt like I was even getting close to its potential on the trails there and could never really let it rip. The tires were also pretty slow rolling for those trails. Overall, it was amazingly smooth and I just kept looking...

Some friends and myself headed out late Friday evening to attend the Yeti Cycles demo day in the Palo Duro Canyon. We had been wanting to ride there for awhile, and with Yeti taking all their bikes out to demo for free, there was nothing stopping us. 750 miles overall and the cruiser performed...

Finished the passenger side swing out for the Yeti 45. I also put the tent back on for an upcoming trip The JDM plate holder was awesome. I just unplugged the harness from the one in the tailgate and the everything fit right in!

Thanks! I didn't get as much as I planned to this weekend, due to not having all the materials I needed and I got pretty distracted when my friend brought over his 5th gen 4Runner with the BP51s on it. Tomorrow I plan to pick up some 1" sq tubing for the floor and front/back uprights between...
