I'm planning on starting in with the swap from my 85FJ60 to my "new" 86FJ60 this weekend. I have a long list of stuff to swap, install etc... I am looking for some extra hands to help. Planning on working Friday-Sunday.

I will provide food and drink and if needed a place to sleep, shower or just chill. We can BBQ, smoke meat products or whatever people want. My family is away so it'll be a distraction-free cruiser-fest. Heck, you can even plan on working on YOUR truck if the mood strikes you.

Please let me know if you are interested and I'll get you details.

Thanks,

After work this evening I did some work on decommissioning the 85. I pulled out the ARB locker harness, switches and compressor, the CB antenna wire, the Hella fog light harness and disconnected the winch wires from the battery.
 
Welded on the shackle reversal brackets and blasted the stock front spring hangers in prep for welding them back on in the rear position. I'm no Dave Crum but I think the brackets will stay stuck...

Those things are huge. You might want to box both frame rails, as you will put more stress than stock hanger position. You should have tacked them to set up the rear hanger shackle. You will need to find your caster again....
 
The positioning of the front is fixed by alignment with holes in the frame - no adjustment is available really.

The Crum front bumper and winch mount will offer additional rail to rail support and rigidity for the front.

These are not as huge as the ones MAF sells normally, they are almost exactly the same as the ones on my 85FJ60.

I will join the club, it sounds like a great community. I am busy for the next two weekends, but there after I am free if you need more help. This is a great way to learn about the workings of a 60..
