Looking awesome! Some very nice additions to the rig. Those Leitner boxes are pretty slick, but kinda pricey. I imagine they're fairly light weight as well, though, which is a benefit vs similar boxes you can get.

I know this is a bit of an old topic, but it's so intriguing that I would love to see some kind of progress on it. I've moved to Alberta last year, so my ability to participate in this venture is significantly limited, however it just occurred to me that if such a track were ever created, it...

Congrats! The first strike is always the hardest to take :)

So, I had checked the transmission fluid after having the problem I had, but it was in direct sunlight and it was difficult to see exactly where the mark was - I thought it was okay, somewhere in the middle of the range between hot and cold. Well, I took the truck to the mechanic today, and...

I'm really curious what it is with mine. Everything functions just fine, goes in and out of 2wd, 4wd and 4lo just fine. Also, even though mine seemed to pass the basic test for chain slackness, I watched a video today of a guy whose NP231 was behaving exactly like mine, same sounds and...

Yeah, you've got a good point there! Could well be blessings in disguise. I do hope the transmission issue isn't a fatal or exceptionally expensive one. I was really hoping that input shaft sensor would do it, but for $40 it's not a big deal to have swapped in a new one. I think I will have to...

So I got the work done March 1st (most of it, more on that shortly) and I ended up saving a bundle, even with having to pay to have the front drive shaft lengthened at a drive shaft shop because I was a dummy and bought the wrong one. So there's no more horrid wheel bearing noise and the...

Got my parts today. It seems they sent what I ordered, and the parts themselves seem to be in good condition, which is more than I can say for the packaging lol. Luckily these are big chunky parts not easily damaged.

Rigged something up I've been mulling over for a while. I've wanted to integrate the CR-V table into the new rig somehow ever since I put the rack on, but I wasn't sure of the best way to do it. Finally it dawned on me that the wheelbarrow mounting brackets I've had kicking around for a couple...

There's always that one guy, honestly. You probably got the "Private Pyle" of the bunch. I would think that situation was the exception as far as dogs and cats go, the requirement is just a valid rabies certificate on both sides as far as I know, and the handful of times I took my dog to the USA...

That's pretty weird. I've been a border officer on the Canada side for 15 years, about 6.5 of those at a land crossing, and I've never heard of that happening.

I should specify this is speaking of Canada and the US.

So I got the CB all hooked up and it works, with the SWR being okay but not great. I suspect the biggest culprit is the old coax cable I'm using. It was on the CR-V previously, and when my father in law salvaged it for me, he nicked the sheathing on the cable. I taped up the spot, but that's...

Agree. Malinois are outstanding dogs, but you absolutely must be the BOSS when owning one of these, especially a retired police dog. They will need an owner who can be the alpha pack leader and who will give them "work" to do, and they'll be excellent companions, in my view, having known a...

Well that answers my question lol That's an amazing build! Is that thing SAS'd?

1st Gen Honda CRV with 2" lift and 235/75/r15 tires and a skid plate, limb risers, custom roof rack and a winch. Relatively cheap, extremely well built and reliable, simple and easy to repair, very compact and light weight, excellent geometry, and a RT4wd system that will get you just about...

So I finally decided to hook up my CB radio. Eventually, I also plan to get a cheapo VHF programmed with the LADD and FSR channels, but I really like my CB and I'm curious if it will work better/be more popular in Alberta than mountainous BC, where its effectiveness is limited. So I tried every...

On the subject of lifting the Dakota front end, I've been doin some thinks. I looked into the strut spacers available for it. I found out that a 1.9" spacer equals a 3" lift due to suspension geometry, and similarly 1.25 = 2", 1.6 = 2.5" I had previously concluded that I had a very large...

Oooooh, now I get what you're saying, thanks! We have a wrecker nearby who has a ton of old vehicles on his lot and is a very reasonable guy, so it's definitely something to think about.

Yeah, I gotta say, the four door model really makes hauling kids around much easier. The doors on the third gen open almost 90 degrees, which really helps too. Cheers!
