Re: Recovery Ropes
I've got a Bulldog rope and a Smitty Built Rope. Both work great and I've used them several times to pull out 3/4 ton trucks out of the sand and snow with my Land Cruiser. They are my go to before I break out the winch. I actually like the Smitty built a bit more as the rope is a little harder and t...

4cy diesel engine + 4L80E + NP241
Selling the drive train from my Scout project. Going in a different direction. https://kpr.craigslist.org/pts/d/diesel-swap-drive-train/6566149527.html Could be a really cool swap, I just don't have the desire to finish it anymore. Also have a Dana 44 front, some dana 44 high steer arms from ruff st...

Re: Seeking Input for Cheap Commuter Rig
The OEM parts are spendy but Autozone had everything I needed for reasonable prices.

Re: Seeking Input for Cheap Commuter Rig
I had an early 90's VW jetta for several years. Picked it up for under $1000. Got great gas mileage and was fun to drive. Easy to work on and parts were pretty cheap. Only really had one issue with it in that time which was the Hall Sender (basically distributor) failed. Under $150 and 20 minutes wo...

Re: Where to get bigger propane tanks?
Costco sometimes carries the 100 lb tanks. Not sure if you want that big though.

Re: 15`s or 17`s
The trend in wheels in general is moving towards 17's. With larger brake systems and other components being added to the wheel area on new vehicles they just need the space. 15" tires will be around for a while but they are headed the way of 16.5's, your selection will get less and less, though...

Re: WTB: FSJ D44's
I may have something. Have a D44 front and matching D60 rear from a '74 J20. The front has all the steering and brakes but the shock mounts have been removed. I also started to set it up for spring over but the spring perches (new Ruffstuff) are just tacked on so would be simple enough to move them ...

Re: David Bradley Trailer Build
Rust repair on those flat panels shouldn't be too hard. Depending on how bad they are it may be easier to just cut complete new pieces and spot weld them in. Happy to give you some guidance when you get that far.

Re: FJ80 Slow Build
It's been a while but finally got the rear swing out on my bumper. Also built a front bumper from a kit I ordered from Relentless Fabrication. Mostly left it the way it came but added a few personal touches. Again full build on Ih8mud for any that care to see. http://www.justih.org/photopost/data/69...

Re: new to Town
Welcome!
Fellow Toy owner here. Don't worry about the jeep guys, they don't make fun of Toyota's cause they know they'll need someone to tow them home.

Skipped a lot of steps but I am mostly done with the rear bumper. Need to finish the tire swing out. I have a full build thread on ih8mud for this if anyone cares to see it. http://www.justih.org/photopost/data/692/20151128_130139_800x450_.jpg http://www.justih.org/photopost/data/692/20151128_130148...

I think some (maybe all) of the County parks close for the winter. I haven't heard that Hover is closing though. I was out there weekend before last and no sign of anything being different. Keep in mind that the majority of the wheeling area at Hover is not County land. It is/was owned by KGH and th...

FJ80 Slow Build
So finally starting in on my FJ80 to fill some time while I save up for the next steps on my IH Scout project. The FJ is pretty capable right out of the box as it came with front and rear lockers. So far I've put on 33's, added a 1" body lift (for reasons that will be shown later) and this week...
