Was great to finally meet you and Reed at the roundup. Thanks again for the CO2 at the Tahoe staging area. Hopefully reeds ride will be at MCR next year.

Very nice build. I just read through the whole thing. I would love to be able to do what you do. I am just getting started.

[81fRaNkEnToY83]

What year Celica did those seats come out of? I need some seats for my 83' and I am trying to find something that will work somewhat easily. I have also seen where early 90's civic seats will bolt in easily.

Can't wait to hang out with you guys again.

Right on Nate. It was great hooking up with everyone. I think we have a good crew going.

I think they came out of 90 or 91. I like em. good seats. comfy. May give them to Reed for his truck and get something a bit more cush for my truck.

Can't wait to hang out with you guys again. 

Right on Andrew. This is the best trip so far for me. Had a blast and can't wait for the next run.

But where are the cracks and why doesn't the rubber part have gaps in it?

My favorite 1st gen

This reservoir needs to be mounted properly and I am not having much luck making it work. Limited space and options for mounting. Thats pretty much right where I want it to sit. Now to figure out how to secure it. Any ideas would be appreciated.     

[HogCanyonHopper]

Did some tree work for a buddy of mine that works at J&M Off-Road in Grass Valley CA in trade for having a mount made for my power steering resi. I am happy with his work. He used the Chilkat pump bracket to mount it. Just one of those little details that I have been meaning to get to.

Fordyce trail

Fordyce trail

Gnarly run, Joe. Wish I was there. 

[HogCanyonHopper]

Here's the radiator carnage and a pic of a spare that I have. JB weld on a hole in the bottom tank. Gonna see if it holds and then do the Marlin mod on my motor mounts to mitigate any flexing that may be occuring.

[redneckcustoms13]

I had an oem radiator like that cracked in a similar location. I brazed it uo and ran it until I did the 3 flute aluminum rad.

Na no club , we just smash these trails on regular basis

Oh yea hoping for another trip up in July , I'm doing 4.7s in the rear case and moving my axle forward a few more inches to keep it out of the firewall /body mount and after that I should be good to go

Installing some Marlin modded mounts today 

[HogCanyonHopper]

Done. The old mounts were in better shape than I expected them to be. Driver side was definitely worse than passenger. 

[OTO Phil]

So after I shave off the stud, Just drill through the whole mount and throw a bolt through it? Seems like it's either too easy, or that I'm missing a step...

[HogCanyonHopper]

After you cut the stud off, center punch it as best you can and drill em out. Try to drill em as straight as you can so the bolt doesn't end up crooked. I didn't do mine because I don't have a drill press. Had a shop in Grass Valley do them for me. You will notice more vibrations from stock mounts but not bad, good vibrations!!
