POS Taco

The guy I bought it from told me he’d rebuilt the nose cone

 

But when I asked him about the rear bearings, he said he’d never heard of anyone doing them.

 

And mine were done. So I got them swapped out

 

And since I was there, I drilled and tapped the nose cone, to make oil changes easier.

 

The front bearings were still good, so I just replaced the oil seal.

 

Got her installed, and fired up. Runs beautiful again, and I can’t wait to get out and see how it feels

 

Supercharger rebuild was awesome! Still so happy with this set up. 35x13.5” Krawlers, 4.88’s and the supercharger, and I get nearly 600km to a tank!

 

We went for a rip out Revelstoke area. I’ve been meaning to get back here and explore more, so my Derek set up a meet time, and I headed west.

 

It was a power line right of way, and huge mountain views. Some serious switchbacks along the way too.

 

The supercharger sure spins the fatty’s!

 

We came over Pettipiece pass to hit the lake shore. Where we met lakeshore, was the old barge terminal. And along the west side of the lake is a really good road. Pretty much abandoned, at least until they decide to log it again.

Two of my Krawlers are tubed. Not the best solution. I started having some issues with the drivers side front.

 

And sure enough, she let go. This also blew an actual hole in the carcass. Dammit. I’m gonna have to give up on the Krawlers. Time for new shoes next year.

 

BFG KM2’s. 315/75/16”. I added grooves, sipes and studs. Winters in Alberta are long, and constant ice on the roads, but I want the MT’s for the snow when I’m wheeling, so this has been a great solution.

 

One done Krawler. These are honestly about my favourite tire made.

 

Siped KM2

 

You can see the sipes are doing their job, grabbing and holding snow in the tread.

 

These stock headlights suck. Plain and simple. I come from a jeep background, so I decided I’d grab the round buckets off of a parts truck, and install heated LED 7” round truck lights. In the process I tried to use the 81 grille and light surrounds, but they wouldn’t work without cutting up a fine specimen of a grille, so I hung them on the garage wall rather than ruin them.
