Also got a new shop toy to play with, a very used but functional tire machine. Iv always had access to tiremachine, but since iv gone self employed I don't have that perk anymore. So here it is, tried it out on the spare tire for the Nissan, remove and reinstall lol. I'm happy with it, sure beats swapping tires manually lol.

Had a play in The Range and The Flu tonight

Hi Folks, Our new sponsor Extreme Terrain (www.extremeterrain.com) has provided me with a few coupons to use with orders on their site. If you're making an order DM me and I can provide you with one. I'll update this thread when they're gone. I just received some new door seals and front inner fenders for my Jeep - shipped quickly and prices were good! They even have open box deals which you might be able to take advantage of.

We're also thinking of changing to Wednesdays due to work commitments.

Okay, okay. I Googled DM. D’uh.

A couple of us have still been trail running for a couple of hours on Thursday nights, so send me a private message for more info.

Added an exhaust turndown because I switched to the soft top and fumes were getting into the cab

It comes with wires for power, rear camera and a GPS unit, and also a wire to connect to the reverse light, so when in reverse it flips to the rear camera with a faux distance marker. You can do without the gps and rear light wire, but it's got to be wired in, because the on board battery is just enough to keep it powered to save the video file correctly

Pulled next week's from the calendar as well since we're in lock down.

Thursday is trail exploration night! This week we'll be exploring the Airport Pipeline area. Leaving the Halifax Airport Tims at 7.15. The idea of these Thursday events is to spend 2 or 3 hours exploring new or existing trails. It's meant to be very unorganized and impromptu. It's not a club run, but everyone is invited. We also actively encourage you to put forward requests or ideas for trails that could have the potential for a club run.

With the announcement of 38 new COVID cases this morning I'm going to bow out of tonight - fam going back to hermit mode.

Road cruza RA1100 are good, affordable all terrain tires and come in suv sizes. I had them on our caravan and loved them, we took that van all over dirt roads /mild trails and lived in the country with it. Was awesome. On my trucks I run Road cruza RA3200 which is more of a MT than an all terrain.

Thursday is trail exploration night! Yesterday we explored the Guys/Stagecoach area. The idea of these Thursday events is to spend 2 or 3 hours exploring new or existing trails. It's meant to be very unorganized and impromptu. It's not a club run, but everyone is invited. We also actively encourage you to put forward requests or ideas for trails that could have the potential for a club run. I'm also thinking of maybe 1 in 4 to host a coffee night, depending on how things go.

Not much of an update, but iv replaced the driver side door and a couple of little things,

Something I do on bulb sockets on all my vehicles , is plug the socket full of dielectric grease, then stick the bulb into it, iv had to change alot of burnt out bulb sockets and pigtails, but never one iv " treated " to the grease , I think it helps cool the socket and wire contacts and prevents any corrosion too due to trapped moisture.

thanks @SQRLPWR! I was impressed with this thing in person last night. Going to do a bit of research and might pick up a couple for the fleet. I've been meaning to get a dashcam for the truck.

Club Run Sunday April 18 - Twisted Sisters Leaving Middle Sackville Tims at 10am.

FYI - these are on sale again (ending today!). Picked up a set for the Heep ... will be good for the fam too if we're out doing things I guess.

Just sold my 4 wheeler , so getting ready to start putting this beast together

Picked up a fiberglass stepside Bed for the 720.

LED light bar is installed! Works Great! Forgot what it was like to have good off road lighting

New dash control knobs. Originals are 40+ yr old plastic, and an old spring for tension. New ones are billet aluminum, knurled edge, with a set screw. The one that really matters is the hood release. First off, mine was missing when I purchased the truck. Second, the knob is reported to consistently pull off. (It’s a pull knob and needs to be on tight!)

Here’s a sticker I will be posting on the IH Scout. Nuff said!

YHere is the bronco front in a its glory haha

Been a while, but here is an update, And yes I know, another direction lol. I had Toyota axles for this truck, however it is not cost effective for me to build these axles up, maybe the parts are expensive or I'm just cheap, or a combination of both, so I have sold them . Now in my possession is an early bronco d44 front diff, and I still have the Nissan Xterra rear diff H233B with 4.90 gears. The front diff came complete with front frame , steering and suspension cutoff at the firewall. The steering box is outboard on the frame. The bronco diff is 5 lug drum brakes, I'll be conve

The lights on the back of the truck, iv been having some issues with them burning out, probably due to vibrations, the last filiment bulb I put in only lasted an hr and it was a grote 2.5" round marker lamp, so led markers in and no problems, now onto taillights, the taillights are just universal truck lights, similar to the old taillights on a YJ jeep, and take 1157 bulb and 1156 for reverse light. Princess auto has led 1157 led bulbs, and 1156 , so I took a chance on them, Wow! On the 1157, I went with the princess auto line and chose the red 1157 led and put it behind the red lens of t

Decals are on !!
