Just got back from turkey hunting and am ready to get back onto the 60. While the SOA to SUA conversion was a big step, I had my friend get off all the old oxidation and this was the conversion I was most excited about. She cleaned up great...
Installed the Cornfed 1/2" front spacers (yields a 1" lift), the RCI engine skid, and RCI filler plate on the new rig today. Got the 255/75r17 (32") C Rated KO2s installed last week. This gives a decent-ish 9.8" of clearance. The RCI rock sliders...
My knuckle journey continued into the weekend and I was able to get the rotors and new lugs installed on Saturday morning, with the last remaining items being installing the tie rods & plumbing the brake lines. I decided to wait on that as my...
I've done plenty of front end work over the course of my life but never had the luxury of rebuilding the knuckles on an old Toyota. What an experience it is.
Isn't there supposed to be a s*** ton of grease in here??
It was nice being able...
Made a trek up to the fiery hellhole we call Phoenix this weekend to meet up with @Cruddz, who was nice enough to sell me the axles out of his FJ62. Tucsonans & Phoenicians grow up being told that one city is better than the other, and while I...
Been working on the '76 now that the '70 is close to done and driving now. The wife and I will be cruising down to Asheville via the BRP on Memorial Day weekend. New rag joint, TRE's and center link rebuilt this week. Going to be swapping in some...
Ha truck got wrecked lol
Then truck got fixed (still no ac tho :(
Then the truck got 35s cause I found a good deal on marketplace, and in result the inner fenders got chopped
And yeah that’s pretty much it, this thing should go full crawler...
Now that she's running I've ordered the 10 million heater & radiator hoses so I can replace them as they are original. As I'm waiting for parts I'm starting to fix some of the smaller things - first being the window regulator. For some reason I...
I am indebted to yotadude for the help he has offered me on my pig, so I called him up yesterday AM to see if there was any projects he was working on for the 60. He was enroute to get parts, and was actually going to install the tank and he was...
I've got a pretty hard deadline set for myself to have this cruiser at least moving by the end of this weekend. With that in mind I hurried home after work with two goals to get me closer to that glorious first drive:
Reweld the passenger shock...
My pursuit for a 60 series has never been easy.
Ever since I was 16 I've wanted a 40 series or a 60 series. What can I say - I'm a sucker for round headlights and slow 6 cylinders. I've tried multiple times to get my hands on one here locally...
Now that the A/C is buttoned up I'm starting to focus my efforts on the interior again. The old leather steering wheel has been disintegrating from the sun long before I sold it and it was time to get it replaced. Definitely feels weird having a...
On my way up to the Grand Canyon a few weeks ago - my A/C stopped working right outside of Phoenix. I was finally able to set some time aside to diagnose it and fix it this weekend.
Hooked up my new A/C gauges and the high side reading was...

Arizona Truck for most of it's life and garage kept since I bought it 6 years ago and drove it home to UT. This pig was previously owned by Relix and InkPot.
Engine/drivetrain:
GM goodwrench 350ci with a mild cam and an...
Finished the tire carrier. I don't think it will fall off. It's nice and tight and rattle free.... for now. Not sure what I'm going to go with on the other side. Any suggestions??
Don't know if I'm going to paint it or just let it get some...
