Interestingly enough the quick connect on the pump is a common 1/4" M size. I went to the local hardware store, bought a good 20ft rubber airline, two female quick connects and a new locking air chuck. the old plastic coil line is in the trash. I never did trust that line. Thats nice...
Rear seat delete platform is installed; I’m building the cat abode and the cabinets as modules for ease of installation and removal. A flat 13 gallon water tank will be installed beneath the platform. Our old reliable Engle fridge will be mounted so it is within easy reach of my navigator...
I’m looking for a simple, yet reliable hose extension for my 400p. Ive my own hair brain ideas which would entail doing away with the cheapo plastic line and making my own and doing away with the inaccurate gauge. Thoughts?
That’s all I ever used until my tire guy suggested I give the Generals a try. I did and am on my second set, got 50k plus miles out of the first set. My new truck came with Goodyear Duratrac MTs. I’m noticing a trend as a long time ago, my grandpa told me to stick with the three Gs and you...
Thats what I've come to the conclusion of as well as we just arent' gonna be going to the same kindof places the cruzer got us to. , the damn things would have to weigh 3-400 lbs to do any good.
Here is the only place I found that makes them. I'll go with the short ones for the crew cab as I am doing a bed delete and installing a flatbed.

Only a week old and have added aluminum stirrups, tinted the windows, removed the rear seats and am drawing up plans for a stowage system and cat abode. I’m impressed with the drivetrain. It’ll get up and cruise in 10th gear with more than enough pulling power at 1500 rpm’s. Tooling around...
The truck has a new home. The build begins. Until I can find a pair of rock sliders I’ll be putting a pair of aluminum stirrups on it so my wife can get in and out easily. Secondly I’ll remove the rear seats and begin building out storage compartments around a 16 gallon water tank, along...
My statement was referring to the cheap brand, not traction boards themselves. I have a pair, just not $99 dollar knock offs. Used mine a couple of times, they are still good after each use. The same cannot be said for the $99 knock offs. One or two uses and they are in the recycle bin...
A lot of people will provide a laundry list of things you “ must “ bring along. However, when I started doing this back in 74/75 I used a beat up old 65 VW bug, an army surplus sleeping bag, a good pair of boots, an old Coleman cooler, and a small tool kit consisting of 17-15-13 and 10 mm...
For Sale; Pennsylvania: 80/450 Landcruiser & Expo Trailer
Up for sale is our Landcruiser/Lexus LX450, (triple Locked ) along with its expo trailer. Why are we selling? We have decided to sell our home, give away most of our possessions and travel full time. At our ages comfort while touring...
Began cleaning up the 450 and the trailer. So far it’s cleaned up quite nicely. Today I’ll be power washing the undercarriage and detailing the exterior. Should be listed for sale in a couple of days.
There are those that will disagree with me, however, it is always a good conversation. Chevrolets have independant front suspension. The Dodge has a solid front axle. The solid front axle is easier to maintain, it is more dependable, and it is much better off of paved roads. The only...
Jim suggested I start a thread about our full time, poor man's expedition rig. Well, that's what my wife and I call it, as the price point is way lower, less than half, of the entry level exotics. We began camping together in a 1987 F-150 that doubled as a painting contractors work truck...
I’ve always maintained had the LC 70 series been permitted into North America, Jeep would no longer be in business. There are two things that Americans are good at building- ( hopefully ) the GM and Ford full size pickup trucks.
The 4.0 straight 6 was the last reliable engine that Jeep used and 2005 was it. Even at that those engines were good for only about 150,000 miles. I’m just curios to see what company purchases the Jeep name when Stelantis goes under. Will it be the further destruction of the Jeep, or will...
