I'm in so deep now! I worked on the cruise circuit last week and now I'm getting into the real stuff! I'm learning so much.

Fearless Vampire Killer?

I don't know why thumbnails don't seem to work anymore.

Been slowly chipping away at the wiring, went from tagged connectors to marked and verified connectors with individual wire ID. My friend Drew made me these labels with each wire number, color and duty printed. I got the Lexus side done last night as well. One challenge we faced was the cruise...

Took it out for a little camping this weekend. LEGIT!

Nope, they're great. The only thing that might suck is if it's a 4 cylinder and has the 7.25" front diff, there aren't many locker options for it but maybe you don't ever plan on adding a locking diff.

These are DOT rated UTV radials but I agree, they will not last to the next oil change on pavement. There are some more street friendly radials that can be had in these sizes, I'm not registering this machine or really driving it on the road. My plan is to bridge the gap between overlanding and...

An inch or so I'd say.

I'd raise the tank, do a 1-3/4" tube hoop around the front of the gas tank, this is...

This one was sold by Plymouth

I got some sort of appropriate tires for the original 14's, truck tires for 14's are not super common anymore but 30x10 UTV tires are!

Yes, I haven't talked to anyone at Spicer about it but from what I've gathered this was the case configuration for most all of the mini truck conversions of the era.

With the original engine being in need of a lot of machine work I ended up finding a better donor engine from a Montero and went through that instead. I stripped the donor engine down to a short block before reassembling it with new parts. Seemed freshly rebuilt, I went ahead and replaced...
