A down the road test and The Buffalo passed with flying colors!!!!

Only had a small ditch to run it thru, but it's better than nothing. (click on image to play video)

Finally some mud on the tires.

It feels good to know I can make Moab. Was not sure there for a little while. I still have work to do, mostly just cleanup and add ons, but it running and that's what counts

 

[easymc]

made me a mount for spare in rear, keeps it out of way and easy to get too

next is to replace rear bumper. putting on a offroad one, will add a swing out gas can mount on it.

 

[reapereviltwin]

different rear bumper going on!

 

[easymc]

rear bumper and gas can mount on

It has been a few years since I logged in. I was talking about this truck and decided I would come check on it. Kinda wish I had been following along, I probably could have cleared up a few of your WTF moments (like how to disconnect the slave on the trans, the plastic piece is missing). I miss this truck on a regular basis, and am glad it is still in service getting used.

Hey Jay, I was wondering if you were still around. The rig has been great ,made it to Moab last year, had a few little things that needed to be worked out. Its now ready for this year.

I don't come around here often anymore. Not going to lie though, when I logged in today part of me was hoping to see the ol girl back up for sale!!

Glad it has been good to you. I had it out in Moab with the group back in 2000 (I think). What an amazing place. I felt bad reading though and seeing the issues you had. So many years sitting idle probably took a toll on it. Glad is wasn't anything major and you got to enjoy your trip.

Truck is looking great, I love what you have been doing to it.
