Haha I was probs doing 40-50mph... the new suspension is amazing, especially at higher speeds. It seems like the faster I go, the smoother and quieter it gets. Super impressed. Plus it handles sooooo much better on the highway now.How fast you going here, 100? How does she handle at higher speeds with all the new suspension and bushings?
Excellent, I recently installed the one bp 51s but don't have my bumpers on yet so the spring rate isn't quite right. Did you install the new suspension and bushings at the same time? I ask because I'm hoping that my bushings are really most of my problemsHaha I was probs doing 40-50mph... the new suspension is amazing, especially at higher speeds.

Hey where did you get these tool clamps?I welded up some brackets to hold an axe and shovel on the roof rack. The downside of this OEM rack is lack of attachment points... everything can be either strapped on, or I gotta make a custom bracket.

They are just simple truss clamps (used for rigging truss and speed rail in film). I found mine on AmazonHey where did you get these tool clamps?
Intercooler you say??? Now that the exhaust is done, it may be time to add an intercooler soonGreat Cruiser! Was this the one on CL for like a year?
You can still get that o-ring for the ACSD, we just blocked one off the other day.
I have some 81 parts laying around, new OEM, let me know if you need anything. I got a few used parts as well. Also got a really nice intercooler for that truck.
Cheers
Very true! I just love the look of the quads so much. I still have no original euro lights in the cabinet for if I want to go back to stock. Thanks so much!But here in the EU, maybe 1% of the 80s have quad headlights, mostly former UN vehicles. I can trade a set of EU headlights for your quad if you want real Eu look
Btw, great build, long time stalking, first commenting!
Do you have a part number and source for this? I’m looking for one.Sourced and swapped out the shift knob for OEM goodness. View attachment 2612056View attachment 2612059
Nice job Bryce. Are you doing this for thermal or sound insulation? Or both?Just installed mass loaded vinyl on The entire floor. What a big job! These are the only pics I got in the process. View attachment 2621086

Thanks buddy! A little bit of both. I think it does a better job at thermal than sound... but it is quieter for sure. I’ve heard doing the roof and doors back the biggest difference, which I have not done. I noticed a big difference with transmission drone being much quieter.Nice job Bryce. Are you doing this for thermal or sound insulation? Or both?
