A guy wanted to trade me a Honda Nighthawk 450 for a set of mud terrain’s that I have for sale LOL it reminded me of you slick!
Putting that gas in it would definitely make it smoke, there’s 50:1 in there right now haha. Been busy are work but I managed to paint the trailer wheels black. And I got a spare 37, just need a wheel now. Set the camper up too and started loading gear into it. I’m gonna get an inverter and deep cycle for it. And my wife is going to paint it pretty soon. The aluminum sides and top is all chipping.
Yeah I slid down and got stuck in the back, it’s brutal when it’s wet.

Gotta love old trucks! That sounds like a nightmare, I guess gm motors really don’t belong in Toyotas…….
Finally took the little light bar off the bumper and put two 6” bars in the bumper, I welded two small tabs on the backside quick and wired them up.

Wrenching away, stiffened up my rear bumper. And picked up my new trailer, I don’t plan on trailering the LX much but if I have to I can. It barely fits.
Yeah FJ gas is cheap but it’s so awful on fuel. I said to Tom the other day when he was here that it would be much cheaper on fuel to take my 7.3 and trailer and just tow the LX450 on the trailer. I can’t believe just how bad it is. LOL good thing I don’t drive it much
It’s a giant 54mm but, then a lock washer that you bend the tabs on, then another 54mm. I didn’t have a fish scale so you’re very right. I may not have tightened them to the right spec but when I finished with the hub rebuild and I turned the hub it felt way too tight to me. I figured it would loosen up a little and it definitely did. So I tightened them up now and hopefully they stay that way. It only took a half hour.
Very true, I’ve had CBs in my last Trucks and we never really did use them often but when we did the reception was garbage. With that said I have no idea how to use them properly so maybe it was my fault.
When I swapped the 37s I noticed my wheelbearings had looses up a lot and there was quite a bit of play. It’s not in my personality to drive it like that. So I tightened them up. I’m getting To be an expert at Toyota axles lol

So much for building an overlander LOL, I couldn’t find any 315s and these were a steal and bolted right up so I did it.
I’m gonna run them for a bit and see how it goes, it’s a bit of a dog but it doesn’t drive too terribly. Still need to find a spare though!
