A few of the guys on Portal are saying that it'll never hold but since Yakima (sp), Thule, Ford and Toyota use rivet nuts I have to assume they'll hold well. ..especially because I'll be using so many of them. I'm doing all my measuring, cutting and painting tonight and I'll do the actual...

The tool arrived and I'll be doing the install this weekend.

I don't think it's a new look as much as it's a problem with the Database.

I'll be there. Mountain State Overland should be there too.

Has anyone here retrofit or made a custom roof rack system for their Rigs? I recently picked up an adjustable track system from an '05-ish Ford Expedition.  I'm going to trim it to the appropriate length and mount it to the roof of my Supercrew F150. I have seen this done in the past on other...

It's Overland Bounds version of It's a Small World at Tragic Kingdom, lol. I think it's because he started the site with the open arms.  Exploring and fun being the important thing, not the marque de transport.

I finally own a truck worthy on building. :0) I have a perma-smile.

This also happened on the trail. All in all it was a pretty taxing and tiresome trip. Still better than being at work though, lol.

Crisis averted. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Back to ship shape.

I Blew out an axle bearing yesterday. It ate up the axle a bit so I think it might be time for an upgrade. The tires arrived today but there's no way my wife will let me put them in her German yuppie-mobile. Not that I'd fit more than one at a time, lol. I'll get the bearings done today w/...

I see a lot of mud in the rain seasons but 90% of my driving is rock trails, beach sand and pavement. From what I've read the at2's will do well. I really like the cooper mud tires on my friends rig but I just couldn't see that much tire for most of the driving I do.

I finally finished the heavy Leaf spring install today.  They should settle a little bit over the next few weeks but when I loaded the truck down tonight it leveled out perfectly. I can't wait till the RestoModding is over so I can get down to business. After the new tires and trans cooler...

Tires are ordered General Grabber AT2 315/70/17

Very Nice. I love the FJ's.

These also showed up yesterday. They are too nice of a wheel for my trucks old paint but they are stronger than stock and only 2 pounds heavier even being a full inch wider. (Stock wheels with 35's rub at full lock so the upgrade was needed.) Although it looks like Chrome, it's not. It's...

Thanks @administrator! Little update for a new part arrival today! Now This is a proper Transmission oil cooler. The Original is less than half this size. Tru-Cool Max LPD47391 is the exact Cooler used in the 7.3 and v10 Superduty trucks so it'll be an easy replacement if anything should...

Awesome truck! Great work and pictures.
