Thought it was worth posting for someone in need of a little project. No affiliation to trailer or seller passing along what looks to be a decent platform. https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/d/corsicana-bantam-jeep-trailer/6851634847.html

I'm running 2.5" springs with HFS 2.5" shackles and barely clear 33/10.5's on stock wheels when tucked tight. Depending on offset I would think 12.5 's would rub in the rear if uncut.

If memory serves me the JoeT kit in the pic uses a Monte Carlo style caliper with vented rotors. Might consider using the rear kit but wouldn't go to the trouble with possible bracket issues and not changing to fine spline Birfs as mentioned on the front. Mini truck axles are becoming scarce in...

Consider mowing a few extra yards in the neighborhood and bump your budget up for this...... For Sale - Fs 1976 fj40 Figured out long time ago saving money up front usually results a loss later.

Not a recent pic but it has held up well for 10yrs. Dupont camo chart Khaki with green added base coat with PPG Flex n' Flat clear coat.

Live outside of Waco and the boat was a 18 shallowsport classic. Running a 24 now.

Great year and awesome cruiser you found. It was always cool traveling I35 past Wimberly4x4 and looking at the yard full of 40's before it closed. Daniel had one main restorer named Grant that was a member here (Grant5127) but moved to the hill country when the shop closed. Wealth of knowledge...

After reading your rebuild progress it dawned on me that I might have traded you a small block 350 while you were at Fort Hood for a front bumper?

Drove across our saturated deer lease and hauled a few critters. See a future front axle rebuild in the near future with all the rain we've had this season.

My exact thoughts were how thorough and extensive your rebuild is but yet you used red bearing grease in the center. Agree the red should be used for bearings. My comment was on the birfield and inner ball. I've personally seen red NGLi hi temp grease drip after a year or two with very few miles...

All that red bearing grease will separate and drip eventually. Moly grease at the birf is you friend.

First thing I'd try after using fresh gas is plugging off the brake booster vacuum line.

Drove mine with my 7yr. old to soccer practice after the following work over the last two month...... Total Q-jet overhaul with new intake New rotor, cap, plug, wires, and R&M wire loom kit Fresh fluids all the way around Replaced o-ring at transfer idler shaft (now leaking worse) Best of all...

It has original hard lines with new braided lines elsewhere. I'll need to look up "how to" on a booster function check.

Mark, Will the 60 booster mesh front and back with the '71 firewall and MC? If so, I'll probably call you to pick one up.
