What did you do on your 70 series today? (35 Viewers)

...Just get one so that 2 big dudes and one Turk can sit comfortably in the back.

Last I check, they fit just fine. Tight and cozy, just the way they wanted it. Speaking of... one of those big dudes picked up a BJ74 too

Nice job.....Are you going to wrap your rear bar under this now?

Hey Billy,
thanks yes i want to wrap a bumper under the body - someday
I think i want to have it like THIS (as seen here)
For now i leave it the way it is. The plan is to change to electric cooler fan, lift the body 1" and build new bumpers front and rear (3" pipe - THIS is the old front bumper and THIS is the first draft of the new one).

Installed extended sway bar links and a 555 TRE kit from @cruiseroutfit

Not the most exciting picture, but the improvement on the road was noticeable

Looks great and I'm glad to hear it is handling better. Thanks again!

WOW - just found this tread! readt the full 43 pages when I get home today

Found it while searching for instruments to set in in combination with my newly bought turbo. It's going in hopefully this year converting a 14B to 14B-T

Excited!

I'm looking forward to getting this thing in 14B to 14B-T by Børre Bratvold, on Flickr

Brought mine home from SLC this morning...1986 BJ74, 13B-T, automatic...ARB bumper, ComeUp winch, 285 BFG KM's on 16" wheels, MetalTech sliders, dual Optima REDTOPS. Lift is unknown (and will be replaced), no lockers (on the list), winch is wire and will change to synthetic, and the turbo is untweaked...so it needs boosting and some gauges to monitor stuff. 240 miles from SLC to Cedar City running 70-80mph and getting just shy of 20mpg...LOVE it!!

Originally a Land Cruisers Direct rig, owned by Jon Bundrant from AllPro for a short time but it didn't fit his style...but it fits mine

Glad it made it home safe and sound Woody. Great seeing you two last night and glad that rig went to a good home. We had fun with it when it was here at the shop. The lift is in need of swap, we had talked about doing that before Jon purchased it but it sold too fast

Normally that answer wouldn't cut it but since you're the "Grand Poobah" we will let it slide.

You read my mind about the flares.

 

[elkaholic]

Got to the root of my no reverse light issue (I think). Seems the reverse light side of the neutral safety switch is dead. Looks like I'll be sending some $$$ to ABQ ...

Also got my name plate

I would have thought those wood shims and duct tape would have held up better. Oh well.

New rotors and pads, stripped one of the front calliper holes and had put pull the front end back down and replace the swivel housing
