Yep

I showed my wife the pictures of that shifter setup and she recongnized the 60 and thought that is what I wanted to use it for. I think I'm banned from the garage for a while.

Anyway, damn nice work. What are you putting on for a diff cover? What are long term plans for the steering linkage? Any hydro in the future?

I wrote a long reply last night but it must not have been posted

oh well.

Thanks for the compliment... Mace is trading my Magtech for a GLO cover (which arived 10 min ago!) its sweet!

hope to install from the inner C's out from a kingpin axle, & Then use conventional highsteer... then possibly hydro.

Mace · 01-10-07, 10:58 PM

Cool

sixty · 08-01-07, 01:37 PM

Update!

I finally got around to just about finishing the 60. I ran all new brakelines (close to 50') & relocated the Wilwood proportioning valve. Installed the Highangle 1-ton CV drive lines. Put the steering all together. Finished building the Hummer beadlocks with rockrings. Below are the pics with some descriptions:

I misunderstood when I ordered the rockrings from GLO and ended up with thier "mudrings". Instead of dealing with getting a new set I went ahead and welded them on. I'm not too fond of the looks of any style of rockrings so I guess these do not look too bad. They are painted with a copper colored Hammered paint. I definatley need bigger tires. I see a set of 39.5 tsl's in my future. The 36" Goodyears were practically free so I'll groove them & run them for awhile. Great for burnouts too! the paint looks much brighter in the sun.

Slightly wider

maybe 10" overall.

Definately need some 39's. I plan on adding the Lebra 3.5" universal fender flares as well as some tubing hoops going from the bumpers to the sliders. Not sure on the design for those yet.

Haven't mounted the shocks yet... definately need bigger tires!

The GLO diff cover was soo pretty that I decided to clearcoat it with clear ceramic engine enamel. I really like how it turned out. Who ever they had weld it was a freekin artist with a mig! Anyone have a set of 39.5's to donate to the cause... Mace???

Purty 1-ton shaft, tucked WAY up as well as the new Flowmaster & Magnaflow. the exhuast guy did one hell of a job. Think a set of 42's would fit?

Front CV turned out beautifully & with the high pinion its really out of the way. I'm pretty happy with the crossmember. Hopefully it will be strong enough since the 203/205 combo weights about 250lbs. I'll be building a full skid plate soon. I think I may try some 42's

Steering is my biggest peve with this build. it works good but it is VERY exposed. I may be grafting on some older kingpin knuckles or getting some Solid Axles (formerly Rockcrusher???), high steer ball joint knucles. Either way I'm looking at $1400-1800 to redo it all. The outboarding turned out well. 42's might rub on the springs.

Overall I'm pretty happy with it. It drives great (only had it up to 40mph) & the double low is LOW, especially with the 700r4. The rebuilt trans runs great & is very tight! I'm very happy with the brakes (still need some attention but work better than the old 4runner/ Eldo brakes). I still have a bunch of small stuff to do but it will be driveable once I get the shock mounts sorted out.

Tattle tail! Why don't you go finish Bob instead of padding your already out of control post count!

You install the Magtech cover yet?

Mace · 08-01-07, 02:19 PM

lol
Right..

I am up to Ely again tomorrow.. But Bob will be worked on this weekend

BTW, if you are out of space, E-mail me the pics and I'll post them for you

Or Get a photobucket account

sixty · 08-01-07, 02:25 PM

Ih8photobucket.... Whats your latest email? Mines still the same as it has always been so if you shoot me yours I'll get the pics to you right away. I didn't realize my star had expired, I'll get it renewed next week when my paypal is recharged.

Tapage · 08-01-07, 03:29 PM

Nice build .. definately you nedd TSL 44"

ops: sorry you said 39" or 42"

Just wondering if it's really nedeed the CV in the rear DS vibrations ?

sixty · 08-01-07, 03:44 PM

Tapage,

Thanks for the compliment.

The angle would have been too great with a standard driveshaft & would have vibrated like crazy. The CV eliminates that. the axle is also slightly off-center & the cv helps with that also. They are very tough shafts (about 40lbs each) & have 1350 cv with a 1410 @ the rear axle & 1350 @ the front. I bought them used & had them re-tubed, but new they would have been about $1300. I could have gotten away with a standard shaft in the front but it would have vibrated in 4wd.

I need bigger tires!

Tapage · 08-01-07, 05:03 PM

I ask .. coz I have pretty lifted 60 .. sure I keep the Toy rear axle, but I haven't use CV in the rear DS .. I get some little vibs under desaceleration at 120km or so .. but under that speed nothing ..

sixty · 08-01-07, 05:20 PM

A rear CV would fix that vibration problem. My 60 with a short 4-speed & spring over had no rear vibes. My 60 with the 700r4 7 split t-case, Spring over had a bad vibration. A CV fixed that. I used one out of a mid 80's mini-truck. Very common, cheap & pretty strong. You should have no problem finding one in Panama, look at front shafts on 80's-90's toyota trucks & 4runners.

Kavik · 08-01-07, 11:07 PM

Way to go Sixty! Your wagon looks like like it had sex w/ a CORR race truck (wide track, mud beadlocks, etc)

I have one in the front DS .. just I'm not really worried for my little vib in the rear at desaceleration over 120 km coz few times I ran at this speeed .. someday I will do and fix it ..

Hmmm... maybe that was what that squeeking was a few months ago in my garage

Thanks!

Mace · 08-02-07, 05:31 PM

I'm bettin the 60 was catchin

sixty · 08-02-07, 06:09 PM

From the sound of it there was a little pitching & catching going on from both rigs... some sort of twisted transformers gayporn...

You guys are sick!
