Looks great. :awesomework: Thats a good idea on the swing out rack. I've been wanting to make something like that out of the tire carrier on the LJ forever now, just never got around to it.
The rack came out great. great idea:awesomework:
Wooohoo! After like 3 months I finally got this in the mail today!
Where did you get this from? I would love to have one for my little truck.
Whats your plan for getting the rig out? You going to take the whole family out to Elbe or going to do something a little less muddy first?
those old school Toyota logos are pretty sweet. Where'd you guys find them? Wouldn't really look right on the 4runner but I'd put one on the beer fridge.
Ya $55 is rich!!! Damn.. I may buy a today gift for myself. Long wait for a dang logo thats for sure. He needs 30 people to do a run... thats alot of folks that dont mind spending $55 on a logo.

Not sure yet. I don't want to do anything too crazy for Leia's first trip. Tahuya would probably be the best place to go, but its not really worth the money to drive out there. I'm thinking probably Elbe, but skip the Busy.
So my current project was going to be installing an electric fan. I've got a direct drive flex fan on there now, but I'm tired of the thing sounding like a Cessna getting ready to take off while I'm running down the trail. When I was driving around in the feild it was so loud I couldn't hear Leia when she was trying to talk to me while driving. I grabbed a Volvo e-fan from the wrecking yard today. There is only like 2.75" from the radiator to the snout of the water pump and it is right in the middle of the radiator. I thought I could manage to make it work, but no matter where I tried it I could only get 3/4 of the fan on the radiator.
I did some looking around on Mud, looks like if I swap in a waterpump and pulley from a later model that had a fan clutch I could gain almost an inch of clearance. I found a waterpump on RockAuto for $20, the pulley will be the hard part. Used ones are hard to find, I found a company that makes new ones, but they are like $65. So I'm not sure if I'll do it or not.
