Yeah it is really weird. I kinda like where the steering wheel sits but I may look at moving the SG into that spot. I have been looking at an actual mount on Etsy, I’m not a fan of the Velcro holding it there now.

I’ve been having this intermittent issue for about two years now and after many searches here on the forum and FB groups I still haven’t determined the cause of the 4lo light coming on when driving on the highway. 2007 SR5 4WD V6. It usually happens when climbing a grade or when downshifting to...

I haven’t been on the forum much in the last year or so due to some of the issues. Thanks for the update.

The GX came with an extra fan for the condenser. Find one in the junkyard or pick up an aftermarket one from Rockauto

Put the Silver Cow on a diet this weekend. Ordered RCI aluminum engine and transmission skid plates to replace the heavy steel homemade ones I’d built. I’m still waiting for the transmission skid to ship but the engine skid is in place. The also sent free catalytic converter guards with the...

Haven’t posted for quite some time. Last few times I tried the forum kept crashing so maybe it’s will work. I’ve had to do quite a bit lately keeping this old girl on the road besides adding extras here and there. Added the Aegon Ironworks roof rack and shortly after that I ordered their awning...

Ordered a roof rack from Aegon Iron Work the other day. Can’t wait to finally replace the stock roof rack. Sucks that it won’t be here for a month :( I’ll post the build and install once it’s here.

I’ve had a ton of issues with the forum so I haven’t updated in quite some time. Added an Orange Boxx Fab molle panel to the interior behind the plastic window. Added an LC80 snorkel. Started my swing out build on the NWTI bumper. Still trying to figure out how I want to make the left side...

It’s been a while without any updates but a few things have happened that are noteworthy. During a trip to Southern Utah over the Labor Day weekend, I ended up busting out the rear driver side quarter window when I slipped into an embankment on a trail that was severely washed out. I opted to...

Been a while without any significant upgrade till today. I’ve been putting a lot of time and money into my 1986 Suzuki Samurai JX lately. I’ve been concerned about transmission temps lately after the last couple outings so I added an external cooler today. I wanted to mount it with the...

Installed an additional transmission cooler to try and combat high temps when wheeling and freeway driving now that she’s a heavy girl with all the armor. Used a Hayden 678 universal cooler.

I’ll probably stick with 33’s too. I think in the off chance I go 35’s I’ll still be ok with 4.56’s. The gear calculators I looked at all said 4.30 was the best to go back to “stock” ratio with 33’s and a lot of people told me to go 4.88. I’m happy with the truck and especially how heavy it is...

Search “critter mod” here on the forum. I had rodents get into the cabin air filter and built a nest on mine before doing that. Sounds like you need to screen off your air intake too

Did you go with the Eaton E-locker? I did 4.56’s and the Eaton from ECGS last year and it’s been money well spent.
