Research, recon trips and reaching out to assets in the intended area are important but half of the adventure is going into the unknown and seeing what is "just around the river bend" :grin:

That's asinine that he didn't wait there or anything to tie in with you for some form of compensation. I got called out a couple times on recovery missions in the guard where the guys stuck or broke down were rude or treating me and my co-driver like shit. So we would pack our shit an drive off...

Thanks lol I'm super pumped how they turned out an sad I'm so close and have to keep starring at these two in the garage haha

To be honest I have no idea what brand they are. My buddy an I picked em up from a local junk yard 10+ years ago, and they said they pulled em off a chev. They have no brand or model castings and the factory sticker on the inside barrel was beyond readable. That sounds like a nice swap, what...

Also the wheels are old skool mags from my brada from anotha motha. They looked sick on his Mazda B2k shit truck.

Thanks! I toyed with color for a bit but figured the OD Green was fitting for the color on my X and being prior service ; ) We have the same tires, diff size of course, on our 4runner and love them so far.

Got the first two wheels/tires done and picked up today! Can't wait for the paint and last two tires to show up so I can finish them. This is a misleading angle but yes they fit and not as big as they look *cough cough* lol

So got the first wheels/tires done and can't wait to finish the last two! These turned out just how I wanted and the excitement to get the last two done is killing me haha. So from these angles here I know they look "to big" *cough cough* Once the body lift comes in and I get it installed...

And to thunk I've been wincing over 3-5k setups :frowning::fearscream:

I took a chance switching over to falkens after several sets of bfg at and toyo at. Never had the chance to try some coopers but news guys that trusted them anywhere dang near. So far the falkens have delivered very nicely. On road feel definitely give more confidence of grip especially in the...

Looked over your build thread and diggin it. I like the low profile of the bull bar on the F bumper too. Is yours the OR model?

Oh my that pic looks like it ending fun! Thanks, she is our second X now but this one is mine, standard trans an all ; ). I've got 2 more wildpeaks on order an the last 2 rims to paint up and they'll be going on shortly. Couple other odds and ends going into it but mostly maintenance to plus...

I always get a kick outta the trick rigs in town with all the beef, but clean as a whistle day in day out, over the weekend etc. Never seen em out on trails or if I get to yak at some of em, I ask where do the go or have gone..... nowhere but the blacktop. Not saying you HAVE TO hit the dirt...

Will do:grinning:

Oh for sure! I had a prior service guy ask to buy mine when talking shop an I brought up the fact I had a spare, he made a fair offer too, but I just laughed and told him to get bent if he thought I'd sell it :D

That is very true! I only have a spare because one was left in a 1097 during a state active duty mission to fight the wildfires years ago, reported it an no one came to claim it

I can't add much to the electrical aspects of your questions but as far as staying warm at night you can look into military surplus "sleep system" sleeping bags. It has two bags that fit into one another and snap together along with a wet weather cover too. All of it fits in a stuff sack that...

You could also try using some goo off, or try a little WD40
