Awesome build, the finish work on the interior is stunning. Looking forward to seeing some more photos.

Absolutely awesome build, talk about doing it once and the right way the first time. Any plans to add a skid for the fuel tank?

The wife made it happen one evening on this great looking Sow. I kept at it for another week, First snow arrived early Oct A couple of days later I connected with this smaller muley, which is making fantastic table fare. A friend of ours got a small buck as well, so we had a little...

^ Having spent 25 years in eastern Canada, I can confidently say that the countryside in British Columbia is stunning. We’ve only just begun to explore it. The new truck will be getting a build thread in the new year. I've done a fair bit of work so far, but I will hold off until I really get...

^ Bad influence haha About a month behind here, hit the road for an upper arrow lake trip I think we took 3 or 4 different ferries during this trip up the western side of the lake, We hopped from formal rec sites to secret gems Stunning weather and not a lot of other travellers, perfect...

^ Thanks for the good words above. Hoping to get back to somewhat regular updates but free time has become a bit of a commodity... The biggest hurdle seems to be finding a somewhat clean and original one. There are a lot of trucks with tunes, which I'm not opposed to, but it seems to be...

Another camping trip and another washed out road, Heading to plan b and yup, stuck again, this late season mash potato piles are no joke. Nice surprise at camp, Cleaned up that bear skull. It never ceases to amaze me how tough these animals are. This one had teeth worn down to the gums...

3rd or 4th trip out with the family and I was lucky enough to connect with this great bear. This will be a core memory for me. Another trip out exploring some old roads, The road ends here for us. I never want to lose the ability to camp anywhere we want. It was getting late so we set up...

With our test run in the books, we set out on a multi-night trip a bit further away but nothing crazy. Beauty beach site all to ourselves. At some point a critter chewed my hood liner and started to nest in the engine bay. Luckily this was the limit of the damage. After this trip we took...

Developed a pretty good oil leak. The oil filter housing o-ring was flat and bypassing. Unfortunately, the only way to repair this is to remove the mount work making a 5 min job a couple hours.... When the repair cost $.10 but it's a pain. I don't mind the more expensive easy fixes. Fixed...

Ooof, extended leave from posting, still alive, lots of updating to do in here. The LBZ is turning out to be a bit of unicorn. My checklist is crew, not white, any trim level, no rust, sub 200k km's. I've found a few but they sell like hot cakes. I just missed out on a really nice red one but...

Great setup!

^ with those tires my top speed would be 48mph @ 2800 rpm haha Looks funny as hell driving around with them on. When I put the 33's back on after seeing it on donuts for a while it looks like a beast in comparison. I've been waiting on a coupler from ARB for 4 months now. In the meantime, I...

Next one on the list, Had to get creative doing this solo, only took about an hour and it was off. Time to replace the 2 damaged bed rails Both of the front bed rail mounts look like this: The way the bed mounts on a small pedestal puts too much of a point load on these rails with a...

Next up, third time I'm doing this muffler. Walker OE replacement parts are absolute junk. Cut open the just over a year old muffler and you can see the culprit. The second structural baffle is completely loose causing the entire muffler to tin-can and sound terrible. Never again. I was a bit...

The K30 short box would be the move, or long box and 4 link the rear/cut the back of the frame off for a great departure angle. I don't think I have the time to invest in a project like that right now though. As much as I would like to say I'm practical I can't bring myself to look at a Ford or...

Thanks for all the good words guys. It's been a pretty rewarding experience so far. Todd, you don't know how often I've looked at that two-tone red crew. That's where I started but I can't bring myself to cut this one up. It's great for a hunting rig as is, any bigger and I won't be able to get...

It's been a minute! Before the little guy arrived I had to figure out how to mount a rear-facing seat safely in my '84. Took some doing, but this worked great And then after almost 2 weeks overdue the day finally arrived! 36 years ago my parents brought me home in this truck and I couldn't...

What a great-looking set up. It's so cool to see it operational. Nice work.

^ I think they are interchangeable. The ones I have on this truck are off a 2000 S10 Thanks, really trying to put a dent in the list right now. Hoping it's 100% for ice fishing season. Quick one, It's here!
