Well we went for a weekend up at camp canoe, which is out side Blue Ridge Ga. We had a good time and we even got to see some snow coming down. It was really nice. The truck did great not a problem ! We went over to the Aska area and did a little hike, That area sure is nice. I think I am gonig to plan a tacco river trip in the spring when the weather ges warm.
Running borad removal
I dont even know what to say. My truck looks so much better with out running boards. I think the wide boards take away from the tires and the line of the truck. I have always left them on because on getting in and out is easier. Screw that!. Plus I am luckly , I finaly gave up on the mini van thing and bought one for the family and in laws. I love mini-vans because now I get to modify the truck. Anyway , removal was easy with the space just being tight. I think it took less then an hour and I had them both off. I am glad I read on MUD to undo the front nuts that hold on to the plastic trim. Love it. Now I just need some LC mud flaps up front.
more yakima / rack stuff
Well I went searching on ebay and criegs list and found a good number of A1 towers and other stuff. I also bought a thule cargo box for the roof a fontier for $95 so I can add protection for the high lift and other gear on the roof. I also bought 4 other A1 towers with locks for 58.00. Then I turned around today and bought a complete yakima rack; 6 locks ,4 A1 towners, 58inch cross bars and flaring all for $45. Need less to say that I have 4 extra A1 towers forsale plus locks. I am trying to figure out how to best mount the cargo box now. I will post pictures in a few.
Water in truck..
Well I have been parking my truck out side and we had a big rain yesterday and now I have water in the passendger side near the second door. I have read on ih8mud on water and checking the slits for the rocker panel. I guess this was either A I didnt have a door shut all the way or I need to clean those slits out . I will check tonight.
Service @ Urban Land Cruisers
Thanks, Urban for working with me on the front axle rebuild. I learned quite a bit and got my hands really dirty all at the same time. If you in the Atl area and have a land Cruiser of any year these guys can help you.
www.urbanlandcruisers.com Mike broke down one side and then walked me through removing the other axle parts. I thought it was not as hard if you have the right tools but very messy. I dont think I would thry this in my garage. yuck.
TLCA new memeber
Well, after thinking about it for some time , I finally joined the TLCA. I figured I needed to give back to something that was actively trying to protect some ORV areas. Plus , I wanted some reading materials when im on the pot. I cant take Ih8mud with me.
A little service issue...
Here is the deal. I have been around and around with my truck trying to get the front axle serviced correctly and I have gotten no where. So tomorrow I have an appointment with the locate shop Urban Land Cruisers to take it over there and help in the tear down. I get to learn a little about the truck and I get to see how this stuff is done. I am looking forwward to getting in there and busting it down. I think it is a wheel bearing issue but I am unsure another reason I want to get in there and check it out.
