I hear they're cheaper than the competition so it would make a lot of sense!

Found you on Instagram before I found your build thread. Just read through the whole thing. Love the build. I dig your rig! Subscribed.

Finally got a full-length roof rack!

I picked up a Rocky Mountain Racks Matterhorn, painted it black, and mounted it up. Mounting was super easy and I really love the look of it. The customization is awesome- even though I don't have anything to mount (yet...), it's nice knowing basically anything can go on it, anywhere. Driving, I don't even notice it there. Zero wind noise, and no noticeable MPG drop.

Here's some pictures from a recent trail run. More on that in next post.

A few weeks ago I went and met up with @TCMach ,
@Fishwerks , @EatonKyleH ,
@Flemster , @NateMob , and @Twenman4 for a weekend of camping and wheeling. Good times as always.

On Saturday we went to run Chinaman Gulch. Most of us had run it 2 years prior at the Jamboree, but it was much more difficult this time. A fun trail, but a long day!

Sunday those remaining decided to do the first bit of Tincup Pass, up to the top and back into St. Elmo. It was windy and cold!

A few more pictures!

Hit the trails with @Flemster the other day in search of snow but we didn't find much unfortunately. Still got some cool pictures though!

All photos from him.

I'm hoping to get out and find some deeper snow soon, but we will see.

I always dig looking at more pictures of this rig. And, holy cow batman, Nate's LC looks HUGE, especially with those tires? What are they? 37? Bigger? I think if I came into a good amount of disposable income, I wouldn't waste it on a fancy sports car or luxury automobile, but I would be happy to buy one of those era Land Cruisers to build out. That thing looks like it has plenty of room inside to camp and forgo needing a RTT.

Here's to exploring the new year!

Thanks!

That's actually not Nate's, his is the stock one in these photos. That other LC had 40s! They were huge and I loved them.. he did some crazy things with them. Also yep, I really like LCs, and building one would be fun. They are huge inside, and that LC had a pretty sweet camp setup in the back.

Ahh, right on. I only know Nate switched camp from 3rd gen, and eventually settled in a LC. So I am not familiar with his current rig. Does he ever miss his 3rd gen? Many of my purchases are in the spirit of his old rig. But those 40's on the other LC are crazy big!

Speaking of crazy big, how are your 35's treating you? Do they still rub much? Still liking the STT Pros? Would you buy them again?

Still liking them. I'm probably needing new tires in the next 6-12 months, but I'm not sure what to go with. I just did a quick search and found out the STT Pros have dropped in price by a fair amount, making me more likely to stick with them. I'm at about 25k on them, and they definitely have more left, but I don't like my tires getting bald. I got rid of my Duratracs at 30k.

With my Duratracs I took them off slightly early with some tread still left and then sold them on Craigslist, really helping to offset the new tires. I'm probably going to do that again, as the math works out to that being the better deal- and me having new tires sooner haha.

A few months ago I spent a few hours dialing in my alignment (my buddy is the alignment tech, which helps), and there is actually zero rubbing now that the lowers are pushed all the way forward. The only place I rub is on the frame, which I can't really fix..

Do you think going back to a smaller wheel spacer would allow you to clear frame but still clear the rear pinches?

I was also gonna recommend Nitto Ridge Grapplers but that would make you buy 17" rims. They are buy far the best tire I have ever run. I'm about 7000 miles on them with lots of that hard trails. The trade wear is perfect, they look almost new, and none of the lugs have chipped off. They handle everything very well, including highway driving.

I think so, yes. I just don't want to run a spacer anymore, so I deal with it.. it's not too bad.

17s wouldn't be so bad, and I've been eyeing new wheels for a bit, I just can't afford them haha. One day! A whole new world of tires opens up for 17s.

Knocked out some good maintenance this past weekend.

I've had an oil leak for the past few months and have neglected it, but it seemed to get worse recently and it was time to fix it. It was very tough to pinpoint, as there was oil everywhere on the front, and could have been from the oil pan, crank seal, dipstick seal, etc..

The crank seal seemed like the best best, so I went ahead and replaced it. The process was relatively straight forward, and I only struggled with getting the crank pulley off- it was on there! This was also my first time getting in with the timing belt and it wasn't hard at all.

Anyways, here's some pictures:

Homemade SST! Worked great!

That's leaking on mine.... just checked my timing belt last week and oil isn't getting on it, so I'm going to let it slide

I'll probably change it this summer

Got an ExtremeLED 38" amber/white combo bar for my birthday... and I love it! It fits perfectly in the rack and looks awesome.

It's super bright- just the ambers are brighter than my headlights, and the white is like daytime. Excited to actually use it at night sometime!
