I will be the 1st to admit that I am on the fringe with tire size. My old flat fender Willys runs 35s and my Dodge is running 38.5s, both with basically no lift.

I have started a new project that is going to be a pseudo replacement for my 1942 Willys MB and my Dodge W250 that I built a few years back. You can read about those builds here.... http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/58343-Rango-1942-Willys-MB And...

Ok, Ok :) I have a thread going here also. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/jeep-willys/2126506-jumping-ship.html I will get something started in the Toyota(?) section here in the next day or two. I have a decent amount of stuff that needs transferred over, but not ALL of my babbling.

If your serious, shoot me a PM and I will give you my contact information. I would feel obligated to fix a few things for that kind of price, but we can talk specifics.

I will try and get a thread started over here. I have one kinda going on pirate but it is hidden in the wrong section. Sell the dodge. Make me an offer. Honestly, it needs a little refreshing 5 years after the build. It's just getting older and needs someone that wants to play with it. Tires...

Gees, I don't get on expo as much as I would like, but I drop by and check on my bigger threads when I remember. This one is almost up to 300K views now! Dang! I have started a new project that is going to be a pseudo replacement. 1996 LX450 ( same as FZJ80 ) chassis 1970 FJ45-esk custom...

Don't worry, it's still running and driving around every day. When the heck did this thread get to 450K+ views? Dang. I have started a new project that is going to be a pseudo replacement. 1996 LX450 ( same as FZJ80 ) chassis 1970 FJ45-esk custom pinched cab/tub 2013 LC9 5.3 GM V8 all...

The 1st Griffin I had in my old flat fender Willys lasted less than a year. I think it was slightly damaged in shipping. The 2nd one has held up well for the last 2-3 years. Mine is a universal type and I built an isolated mounting system for it. The radiator can 'flex' in the mount slightly...

The old flat fender is mine. If you search my user name you can find the 'Rango' build thread on here. There is another version on pirate4x4.com in the willys section.

Just a reminder, it is VERY easy to just carry too much stuff, weight is the enemy. We should always be looking at what we carry. How we pack it. Where we carry it. I see a LOT of vehicles having problems on the trail, be it stuck or broken, that most likely resulted from the vehicle being...

Thanks. I still drive it every day, it works just fine for me. I am basically to the point I just fix what wears out.

Nice, thank you for sharing. Do you think a solo recovery would he been possible in that situation? Maybe use the vehicle mounted winch routed with an additional snatch block at the attachment point for #1 pull and route it back to pull point #2 onto the rear bumper? It would have provided the...

I've been using the ebay version from 'Tuff Stuff' for years now ( same stuff I'm pretty sure). I've done a ton of winching with it and have had zero issues. I just got back from the latest Ultimate Adventure trip with 4-wheel and Off-road Magazine. The group had one hill that EVERYONE had to...

Do you have a winch that generates a lot of heat in the drum/brake system?

We started in Ohio...then Kentucky, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. I'm still trying to think about how to write it up, its a difficult trip to explain in words. If anyone has specific questions I can probably formulate an answer....

I made it back from Ultimate Adventure 2015 safe and sound. 4400+ miles total in just 10 days covering 15 states all together. I will try and write something up in the coming weeks....

You can make a little loop of webbing that bridges between the 1st wrap and whatever you want your minimum wraps to be on the 1st layer. I don't know who came up with the idea but I have always liked it.

Sorry 'monkey, I am usually around town though when you make it down next time...
