In 2014 Ridge and I made a run through the box canyon. We hadn't seen each other in years. He had been to war and back. I had been wandering rivers and mountains in the western U.S. We talked about seeking meaning, purpose and where to go in the future.

Josh and Kaylan Koviak give us a tour of their International CXT as they visit Overland Expo West and plan out their build.

Unboxing a brand new front locking differential for the 1997 LX450 a.k.a 80 Series Landcruiser.

With the cruisers still under construction, we make the best of the Tacoma.

The Cruiser is still being restored but that doesn't stop us from running the 2nd gen and flying the drone.

2nd gen Tacoma drives from sublime deserts, to rivers and mountains. Vehicle is over ten years old with more than 200,000 miles on the odometer.

I slept in the truck on top of the mountain and dreamed I was talking to my father on the phone. I could hear him as clear as day but then the call dropped. In the dream I tried calling back repeatedly until I awoke to the sound of the wind.
Rest In Peace old man.

LX450 and first gen Tacoma visit Falcon Peak 1080p Resolution

Decked out 98 Tacoma in the slot canyon.

Slow gliding the LX450 over desert hills. Raptors, vultures and snow covered peaks lead to an unexpected stone ruin.

Testing body roll w/ three link suspension, ADS shocks and Slinky springs.

Part 2, modifications and upgrades to the 20 ton press. I install a handle, bar stops and test it all out.

Making the best out of an otherwise cheap hydraulic shop press.

This updated version of part 4 in our axle restoration includes full detail on the shims and c-clips for the brake lever. Important for tight performance! 80 Series Landcruiser, Emergency / Parking Brake.
