Working a buttload of OT and hoping I can manage to get the time away from the fam and work lol

This is on the FSR formerly known as Harrison West, about 56km up. There is also another washout further up from this one, which of course I wasn't able to reach on this trip.

Very nice. I plan to build something similar for the back of my crv, but with two underslung drawers and supporting legs.

It should be as simple as making "donuts" of steel or aluminum to sit on top of thr struts and space them downward. Any competent machinist should be able to make them up in a matter of a couple hours given the specs. I'd hunt around for a metal shop that will make them for you cheap. The...

The Tucson has 4 wheel independent suspension, right? I'm guessing MacPherson struts on all 4 corners? Unless someone makes performance spring lifts/shocks for it, I'd say search around Ebay and see if you can find a cheap 2" strut tower spacer lift. Failing that, just find a machine shop and...

Awwww yiss, gettin that spare out back where it belongs. Nice!

I recommend lifting it 2" and putting the biggest A/T or M/T tires you can stuff into the wheel wells without any rubbing. That lift with the bigger tires will give you the max ground clearance you can achieve without major modifications, will keep the costs lower and usually a 2" lift is safe...

I live in Canada, so the rules are slightly different. Here, any car 15 years old or older can be imported regardless of anything else. Newer cars may be imported, however there are certain rules that apply to them, and they must be enrolled in the Registrar of Imported Vehicles program. Do you...

Even with only one coat on the front dry, it looks way better than the original silverish finish. I didn't go crazy with the buffing or sanding, because this is a very old vehicle that's going to spend a lot of time off road, but if I really took the time, dismounted the tire and had a few...

Started polishing off the corrosion and painting my wheels. The spare is the guinea pig. Frustratingly, my rattle can ran out of gas way before it ran out of paint.

Cobra Commander's staff car! :D Sweet.

Hello, I'm playing with the idea of possibly importing a LHD 70 series Land Cruiser troopy from somewhere in europe, and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience buying vehicles from overseas. If I do eventually buy one, this would be quite a ways in the future, but I wanted to do some...

That bumper is so dang sexy. Perfection.

Check the milspec ones someone installed - a few posts back in this thread. As for me, I drove my fifth child, first son, home from the hospital in it yesterday :) Baby and mama both doing fine after emergency C-section. I guess he's a little adventurer and didn't want to take the usual way...

Well, hopefully with the new diff oil and getting that junk out, it'll be tickety-boo now.

Ooooh that's not good. Better out than in, I guess.

Why won't it go exploring again? Mechanical issues?

Just use the universal german torque spec: make it gudentight.

I was considering that, but the gap above the hinge is really wide, so I may just route it through there and over the upper window seal, as water ingress won't be an issue with the way it overlaps.

The bracket I whipped up: The electrical ground to the chassis is rock solid. Tested and got a good connection from the end of the bracket to the tailgate latch on the opposite side of the car.
