I don’t see how you could possibly spend $30k on any landcruiser 60 and not have it be better than new. Even rebuilding the engine from scratch (if it’s a 2F), if you do only the assembly yourself with no tools to start with and only paid for parts and machining, had to buy a cherry picker and...

Went to Golden Spike in Promontory Utah. Stopped by a rocket display at ATK. And drove nearly to Kelton (the opposite side of the Great Salt Lake from SLC). The 60 rides better on gravel than typical Utah pavement. 55 on gravel for 60 miles like it was an interstate.

That’s great to hear! I’ve had them in my shopping cart on flea bay for a while. And I totally get no reason to buy anything else just because they are a little skinny. No doubt that skinny is better than wide in almost every situation anyway If you wouldn’t mind, could you measure the true...

I put in 2005 Suzuki Aerio Seats. I removed the brackets from the Suzuki sliders, Made a simple angle cross piece for the front mounts. And one rear mount I had to do a tab off to the side. The other side sits directly on top of the old rear mount, you have to get creative to bolt that last...

Are the heavy springs also a lift?

I’m curious which shocks just ride the smoothest unloaded. I have kyb gas-a-just and if I roll over a speed bump at 5mph I will almost come out of my seat. But on a dirt road at 40 it’s smooth. 🤷‍♂️

That’s good and this is in the thread history now so nobody is afraid to get the flanges matched. Thank you!

How much is your shop charging? Just curious.

That looks really nice! I would love some close ups so I can hijack your ideas. @doug720

It will decrease initial pedal travel slightly and may reduce total pedal travel to lock up slightly making the brakes feel firmer. But it won’t decrease general stopping distances. In general most people actually think better brakes are softer, longer travel brake pedals. So a smaller master...

I work at a machine shop and I bet the boss would charge you $30-40 to machine it down. I personally have a non-machined intake with a header and it does leak. I didn’t put it on but I can see the difference in height on the flanges.

If you spray paint them, I think “antique brass” is a great color

They look good. A bit narrower than I expected, though! I run an all season lanvigator in the same size and I think it’s a really good size for a 60. I’m tempted to go with a 7.50r16 next but I hear mixed information about true sizing.

Keep it up!

I went searching for a new fun road. Found one but it is way too short, but it dead ended at a beautiful view. I made it 99% of the way back to the main road without mud, the last hole I took a slightly different line and covered the front of the 60 in one shot. 😩😩😩
