Had to take the big tires off and put the 255s back on, headed back up to bancroft for a last min trip and had a relaxing time on the beach.
I actually sold the 37s right when I got home. If I didn’t have the trailer I’d keep them I think, but with 4.10s and the trailer it was shifting all over the place and would barely do the limit. It was better with the 255s for sure.So I think what I’ll do is order a set of 35s for the stock wheels and put the 255s back on the trailer. Or possibly try to sell the 255s again.
Ardbeg was great, first time there and the trails are awesome. The Cruiser did awesome.
Thanks guys! Having a great time up past Bancroft, The tent is awesome we love it.
Not much as far as bugs, water is pretty warm. Super relaxed.
4wp came through with my tent. One set of post holes tomorrow morning and then we’re off!
So I made that light bar pivot 180 degrees on a rubber bushing so hopefully it can take some abuse, which will be nice. Deep cycle is in and my switch panel all works as it should. The tent comes in today, and once it’s installed I’ll wire up my LED strip lights under the tent. Made a mount the other day and Mounted my water can. Ordered a 10w solar panel and charge controller and put that on, it’ll just maintain the deep cycle I’m hoping, not expecting much from it to be honest. Where we camp is generally shaded anyway.
Headed up toward Bancroft Friday if all goes to plan.
I mounted my old 4wd shifter knob from my first gen On it too just for old times sake, and saw this beauty 80 at 4wp.The tents gonna open up on the opposite side so hopefully too much doesn’t go up there but it’s true, it all bolts on so if it doesn’t work I’ll just change it up.
That’s actually a good point, you’re smarter then you look. I didn’t think about the loaded weight. Mind you the leaf springs on it are thick and lots of leafs so I feel as though they barely move at all even under load. Progress pics….
The bumper is what I’m hoping to build/maybe buy.
So it’s spring under and I got the perch’s to weld on to do a spring over. I think I will just to have it match the truck better. I like the way the tires sit in the wheel wells now but I think it needs a little more height overall.
Ordered a tent hopefully here next week, and the tongue box too. Then I can start wiring the deep cycle in. I’d like to do a propane mount too, water cans.
No I’ve had a little bit of interest but not as much as I thought. I’d really like to sell it before I get a roof top tent, because they’re $$$.
Here’s the final product. The rack ended up being higher than I wanted so I might redrill and lower it a little. Paint turned out OK. So now I have to lower the rack, install tongue box, Battery and switch panel, spare tire, and awning. Then she’s done basically. I ran etrack inside and welded in a couple tie downs
The goal is to have a few inches to spare and then adjust it from there if need be. Yeah I’m glad I could use those tires for something because I was having trouble selling them anyway.
Primed it and got a little paint on it yesterday hopefully we can finish it up today.

We chatted in princess auto a couple months ago, he got a bunch of good parts for the white truck, busted a ring and pinion that he’s gotta replace. He got a front locker, rcvs, shirt shifted from marlin I believe, etc etc. He’s been working away at it!
Hopefully it works, so many of my toyotas had been plagued with heating issues or messed up temp gauges it’s really frustrating
