    2000 Frontier (Supercharged) Build and Adventures - Babe the Blue Ox

    Really nice build! Do you have a link for that auxiliary fuse/relay block?

    The 2" lift looks great! Any reason you got rid of the Rock Warriors? If you sold them, would you mind sharing how much you got?

    2008 Tundra Build

    Yeah, I really like it so far! Thanks for the offer for the Yakima towers - let me do some more planning and I'll let you know if I could use them. Thank you!

    Big Booty Judy - 2014 DC Tundra Build w OVRLND Camper

    Great build and looking forward to seeing more adventures with the Habitat! Regarding the Yakima tracks that you put on the old camper shell, did you ever adjust the towers forward and back? If you were to redo that setup, do you think the single point Yakima towers would work as well, or was...

    2008 Tundra Build

    Planning: I'm working on a way to make a budget style camper setup that is along the lines of a GFC or OVRLND camper. Needs / Wants: - sleep 3-4 people - this makes a soft shell tent which doubles in size when unfolded much more applicable - relatively cost effective (hence the desire to keep...

    2008 Tundra Build

    I bought a 2008 Tundra to replace my 1997 Jeep Wrangler. It's a 4x4 SR5 in Nautical Blue Metallic. I was originally on the lookout for a first gen Tundra, but I was having a hard time finding one with timing belt maintenance records that I actually trusted. That and the huge backseat that...

    Project Paddy Wagon | '89 Grand Wagoneer Build

    Any more pictures of that front coilover setup? Also, any pictures of how low the Blazer tank hangs down?

    1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Build

    It starts, idles, and runs really good, but I don't notice a huge difference. Everything worked before, just wanted to upgrade while I changed spark plugs so I could gap them correctly. I'm thinking of working toward a MSD box to complete the ignition system as the factory ignition (duraspark)...

    Thanks! It was fun to piece together.

    1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Build

    Well, finally an expedition-style update, instead of just basic (boring) maintenance: a roof rack! It's made up of some Quik-N-Easy gutter mount brackets I got off Ebay, some aluminum extrusion from 80/20, and some oak slats. I wanted a functional rack, but still fitting with the classic look of...

    1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Build

    Update time! The Wagoneer is still around and getting some new parts, just slowly. I finished the TFI system, and moved onto the fuel system. I decided to move to an electric fuel pump to help prevent vapor lock and to expedite cold starts. First I dropped the tank, cleaned out all the sludge...

    Project Paddy Wagon | '89 Grand Wagoneer Build

    Great to see you doing another build - the first one was amazing! Any idea what that center console is out of? It looks almost like it came from the factory like that!

    Lumpskie's 1989 Grand Wagoneer Build

    I know you ended up with Gabriel Guardians, but I saw in some posts on fsjnetwork you were leaning toward Bilstein 5100s in the 255/70 valving? Did you ever figure out that valving? I'm shopping for Bilstein shocks in the universal lengths and I see 255/70 or 170/60 as valving options. I know...

    1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Build

    Well, I’ve neglected to update this for a while… There has been a lot of thinking about this build, and some definite changes. My wife and I found out we are pregnant, which was completely unexpected, and we are also moving soon. So that has put the budget and road trip on hold for a while...

    1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Build

    I know my transfer case (an NP229) is vacuum operated, and a lot of the old vacuum hoses get dry rotted. Maybe replace the vacuum line going into the transfer case? My 4WD works, but I bought a twin stick kit to get rid of the vacuum actuation. My view is if I need 4wd, then I really need it...

    Orange on orange looks great! Nice job!

    Congratulations on the daughter! And the Wagoneer is looking great as always!

    Modified Grand Wagoneer reliability?

    Wow! Great response, thank you! Any more details on that swap? I did a little research on a 4.0 swap awhile ago and didn't find anything. I really like that engine in my TJ, and like you, would love to do an LS, but the cost is prohibitive. What transfer case did you use? And how was the...

    Modified Grand Wagoneer reliability?

    Great responses - I really appreciate it! I guess there will always be frustrating days where a new car is very attractive... 4th gen 4runners around here are usually around $10k with 125-150k miles, and the Wagon currently has 142k. I'm only in about $8-9k, but I did think I'd be farther...
