Looks like Fun!

will this fit with an aftermarket rear bumper such as 4x4 labs?

I’ve done that one a number of times. Our club sponsors it. Not for wimps or sissies, both mechanical and human. Group travel mandatory and no yahoos or heroes need come along.

Great video. You made my decision for this weekend easy. I'll skip como and just do Madano pass. Wish my rig could handle this.

I love pizza!

Those Nomads look good on that Troopy what ya doing with those 16" steelies

Good content I subbed working on a 88 FJ62 going to 16" wheels but I might have to run spacers, never had to do that will they hold up wheelin? Im not going to Moab or anything just around here in NC Arkansas

Nice I had one of these in Afg, it wasnt mine of course, it ended up KIA. I just picked up an 88 FJ62 been working on it for a year running driving now....

Man I miss my old CJ2

78 o 76?

Did you remove your lift and go back to stock suspension? You mention in the video that you had 315/75’s on this at one point. JC.

True that!

America, I pray for her

Interesting setup, the 2 line side is fuel pump and return, single side to carburetor.

Come on man there’s three common hose clamp sizes 1/4” 5/16” and 7 mm.

Stop whining..........just be thankful you got a 9/32 socket

There is an easy answer to that question. The company that makes the clamps get a "kick back" from the tool manufacturer. It's the reason for all the "specialty tools" needed in modern technologies. 💪🇺🇲🤘

Because they're possessed😂

I will agree with you that the world and especially American people have become so lazy that they will go to metric instead of having to think and use the Imperial side.I feel sorry for you give up too easy.

It's hard to take seriously someone working on their car and spilling gasoline all over the place.

It’s because it’s a standard 7mm lol like literally every other small worm clamp in The world.

Because it's 7mm which is a fairly common size everywhere but in the land of freedom units

Same with today's electrical panels, you need multiply types of screw drivers to work in one panel. Lets go back to standard imperial sizes here in America.

metric.size

No, all thing in the US was at one time standardized, all imported items were made to imperial standards. I was a ASE mechanic in the 60's and 70's. only had to have one set of tools and didn't need to have a 10k tool box to hold all the metric and standard tools to be able to work on one car.

Speaking from experience, the hose clamp kits you get from a famous auction site are usually metric which is apparently what you have. 9/32 just happens to fit.

It has a flathead screwdriver slot. I'm positive everybody has a quarter nearby.

Throw it away

You say modem on an engine from what year?

they did it to piss you off :)

It is a common size called 7mm.

Hey, on the bright side you got to use your 9/32 socket. You don't get to use that socket very often

What’s an x98 transfer case?

Pizza cutters are no joke.

Thx 4 sharing!

Hey, I know those guys!

Well done, interesting content!!

I LOVE shops who create expensive repairs when there is a simple cheap fix.

So what I'm hearing is instead of pushing that overly large boot down an inch, you're going to change the shock geometry, add a questionably tig'd tab, probably screw up the top shock bushing, maybe cause shock to bend. All to keep the showy orange boot.

Great looking Troopy

Very cool tour/update. I can't wait to see future updates, especially on the build. I'm here in Missouri too. About 2 hours from ya. Have an old Tacoma. Hoping to bring it to you all some day soon.

Cool shop update. You guys have a really nice, full-service shop. It would be cool to see more of the people that are behind the operation too.

Troopy is the only truck simply the best

Looks sick, great job

Not a great deal of help at all

YOO, what happened to the build? I am working on exactly same setup on a 1966 chassis. Would love to know what you ended up doing to yours?

How much it cost your rclt set up?

Nice work..😮

I just did a radiator replacement in my HDJ81 and added a transmission cooler from Wholesale Automatics in Australia. 1.5 day job, no big issues and everything works great, no leaks. Have fun in Moab. I want to go someday, need the time.

I was In Between The Bilsteins and Monomax Just purchased the monomax for my 1st gen taco .apprecitate it man.
