Finished up the arm with latch and stop plates. I plan to build the basket for the Yeti out of 1" OD tubing tomorrow.

I've been working the past several days on making parts and prepping my truck for installation. So far I have most of the lower pieces for 3 swing outs completed. I need to drill out more 2x4 pieces for the frame mounting extensions, the rest of the parts that go above the swing out arms, stop...

Thanks you guys! I haven't done really anything to the truck lately besides starting to buff out some of the many scratches from the last trip. I'm about to start ordering the parts for my passenger side swing it and should hopefully be making some once I'm done with this semester.

I am nearing 400,000 original miles on my 92 with the 3FE. The biggest thing I have had to do mechanically on the engine was change out the injectors at 360,000 miles due to an old leaking gasket. However, it took less than one day. I daily drive this cruiser and take it on numerous overlanding...

Thanks! I definitely learned to do things the right way from my dad. It makes things easier down the road, and I know exactly what has been done. Also, knowing that I never plan to get rid of this Cruiser as it means so much to myself and having been not only my first car, but also the car...

The Ozark Overland Rally would be fun, but just due to time I've never really considered going. Maybe some day.

Well last Wednesday I went home and replaced my passenger door window assembly. The window now works and is now somewhat fast. I also fabbed up a quick ram mount drop down from the grab handle to mount my Garmin Etrex. Then, the truck was ready for an 800 mile trip that started last Thursday...

I ended up selling the old wheels to someone who wanted them for a first gen Tacoma. They were painted with VHT graphite gray and then finished off with a clear coat. The paint is available at AutoZone last time I checked.

Thanks Center console is now done! Rear cupholders are on. I went with the 4x4 fold out crab claw type. I also found a cupholder phone mount on Amazon that does its purpose better than something I could have made. I also have a new Dorman window track and motor assembly on the way for...

I ordered mine from the containerstore.com. It is the 18x48" shelf, and I ground down the corners of the tops so they wouldn't rub the headliner. Then I found out they carried them at the local west lake and helped my brother put one in his 80 and a friend with a 100. The 100 didn't require any...

Doubt I ever will because I am happy with my windows, but if I do I will be sure to post it up.

My dad had met a guy with an FJ62 one day locally and they started talking and ended up on the subject of injectors. That guy had put them in his 62 and thought they gave him a little better power higher in the RPMs due to the better spray of 4 holes vs 1 hole of the OEM injectors. In addition...

Thanks you guys! Driver's front is a 741-796 Here's the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003SON8CW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1440693314&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=dorman+741-796 My phone holder and cupholders for the rear should be in sometime next week, but the rear heater vents...

Thanks! It seriously might be my favorite mod I have ever done. It adds so much comfort on long drives. Towards the end of my Colorado trip, my driver's window started slowing down a little bit and then it just stopped working. It was just free spinning. To fix it, I just took out the old one...

Just finished my annual Colorado trip. I drove roughly 2200 miles, and the truck averaged 11.42 MPGs compared to 10.67 MPGs last year with the stock gears, 33s, and stock injectors. The highest fuel mileage it achieved was 14.3 and the lowest was 9.1. I only had two minor issues with the truck...

Console is 90% done. I've been road tripping the past couple days and it's awesome. I have even better photos on the big camera, but I don't have a way to get them off so here's some iPhone pics for now. On the way to the Great National Sand Dunes. Tin Cup Pass Now in Created...

Wow. Sorry to hear that it rolled but glad everyone was ok. This thing is going to be sick when it's done. I love that you're putting a 60 body on it.

I haven't had much free time lately to work on the console and amps, but I managed to run all the power wires to the amps, ground wires, and speaker wires. The speaker wires were a PITA to get through the door passthroughs, and I immediately regretted not adding more door passthroughs when they...

I haven't been able to work on the console in the past week, but I did get the lid formed and the cupholders in. I also added a spot to hang things from. Eventually when I upgrade from a prehistoric hand held cb radio to a smaller modern one, this should be a great place to hang it. I've...

I'm finally nearing completion with the console. I welded it all up yesterday and then used a flap disk to smooth them all out. I also have internal supports. This console is stout! I also got the lid cut out and completed bending the front and sides. Bending the lid was a little tricky...
