    Ended up renting a truck from my job. Drives nice, tows great but too big and bulky, and the tailgate is an absolute joke....i couldn't even open it from the outside.

    Well it's been an eventful morning to say the least. I rented a trailer to take my Land Cruiser up to Phoenix so i can get the head gasket and transmission fixed. Last night a slide pin for the caliper ended up working it's way out somehow. So i fixed that this morning. And then this...

    After getting screwed over by like 3 people, i finally found a camper shell. And bonus, it comes with this cool bed set up, so i don't have to spend extra time, or spending money in wood, carpet and hardware etc. Just needs a little tlc and cleaning and it'll be ready to go!

    Met up with my buddy for some target shooting. He now has my old Suburban if anyone here remembers it. It needs a new motor, or he already put a crate motor in it i can't remember. The AZ heat has taken a toll on the paint, but i'm glad to see it still alive. And put on a light bar this past...

    Yep! Good thing the truck only has a few bad spots, they won't get any worse. And, any new parts i put on the truck won't rust either

    Went up Mt Lemmon today. Went about a half? a mile down the control road. Muddy with a little left over snow but it was no problem. And clean, until the next adventure.

    Did a little offroading the other day. I can't do any rocky or extreme trails until i get my Land Cruiser here and fixed.

    Checking out what will most likely be my new place. Truck didn't fit in garage length wise, but that was most likely because of a work bench thats in the way. It might fit if i remove it.

    Pretty much, with the exception of more garage stuff that didn't fit. We have a house with a downstairs (where I stay) that has a full kitchen, living room/dining room, bedroom and bath. Long Island is super expensive, so it only made sense to stay with family. No shame at all, it saved me more...

    Ordered some new tires for it since I am moving back out west. Went with 285/75/16. Same size as I have now. Patagonia Milestar MT

    I've been planning on heading back out to Tucson for awhile now, and next week i'm making it happen. Transferring with my job. The Burb is going to sit for a few months untill i have the funds to get it transported down. I'm most likely going to have my FZJ80 brought out first however. I put...

    Havent done much to the truck except daily drive it, and upgrade a few things. So i dented both passenger side doors up in Vermont on a trail at night awhile back, you can kind of see in the photo below. I also haul scrap on the side, this is what helps fund my projects :) Towed a few things...

    Put the transmission crossmember in today. Had to replace 2 coil packs which were damaged when doing the swap, and put all new plug wires. She runs. On the list is finish up everything under the hood, fluid changes, finish and install rear axle. Then finally body work and paint.

    Got more stuff put in. I have to figure out the fan shroud situation, since the drop brackets and hardware for the 6.0 fan shroud drop were different. The truck has a 3" body lift. I already broke the lower fan shroud putting it in. I bolted the upper fan shroud in for now untill I figure out...

    Got the hood, and fenders on before work. Just have to adjust everything

    Went to the yard yesterday. Found the best non rotted fenders and hood I could find. And a nice front grill, just in case i want to use it as I am going with a different headlight set up that has the headights and turning signal/corner markers in one whole casing.

    Also forgot to mention, that bumper i picked up does not fit. I thought 07-15 mounted similar to a GMT800, but in fact they don't. The 07-10 i beleive are similar. So either sell it, and get a new 07-10 ranch hand, or have a fabricator make new brackets for me. They do make one that is for...

    Made some good progress today. Put an ebay oem used radiator in, as the oem new radiators for 8.1 are extremely difficult to find. Core support in, oil cooler lines attached. Took the power steering cooler from the 6.0 core support which suprisingly the parts truck never had. Bumper on. These...

    Got the correct frame mount for the drivers side, and torqued all the bolts down.
