I can't help you there, but I bet 4.10 will still be great! I rarely spend time in 5th gear, so I still think 4.1 would be good on a 4-speed. Count me jealous on the floated axles. Semi-floated axles are not as cool AND they're harder to work on...

Remove your headliner before you weld the roof. If not it will catch on fire.

Thanks for the heads up! I have a replacement headliner, too, so I might as well pull out the old one before I light my truck on fire :P

As of this last week (June, 2022), I am finally getting around to completing my dream of painting this truck in the original, freeborn red, color. Here is all the glass, fenders, and doors removed: Pile of car parts: Uh oh! Did I mention my...

Fast forward a bit. I put a mattress platform in the back, met my life partner, had amazing road trips and lots of fun. Grew up a bit. Learned a lot. Said farewell to that sweet little cocker spaniel mix at over 14 years old. Busted a...

Awesome 60 series! I have looking for a diesel 60 or 80. I currently have a 90 FJ62 that I'm waiting to get back from an engine rebuild. I am considering selling it if I find the right diesel LC. Where in VA are you located? I live on the Eastern...

Finally getting around to posting a picture of my completed build. Mark makes a great kit! I don’t consider myself to be a skilled welder, fabricator, or…..welder but I’m happy with how it turned out. Also, I have since relocated the license...

And she’s in - took two tries, putting it in as entire unit took some patience. Thanks @The Machinist ;). Seeing the truck in the sunlight made me happy. Almost as happy as the day I’m driving it.

The Godfather himself gracing me?! Thanks Jimmy! Hopefully you will see it in Colorado... Thanks Jorge! Worst vehicle to polish, ever HA! Don't hand me a welder and expect anything pretty but I'm pretty good at removing old stuff and...

Cruiserhead Spotlight series Number 2 Jimmy aka @CenTXFJ60 For our second interview we are talking with the cruiser-famous CenTXFJ60! Jimmy has had a lot of cool threads and builds on mud. If you haven't checked out "What the hell is going on...

Great work Natee

Good enough to drive for me. Need a 1” pad for these trucks, too many hard angles to reach. Time to set the motor in this weekend!

Todd, sorry. I have one. Let me text you some pics.

For the past month, I've been noticing a pungent fuel smell from time to time while driving. I initially thought my Sniper fuel lines were leaking at a joint, but upon investigation, no joint shows fuel residue. Thought it might be my charcoal...

Nate just came across your thread. Man a lot has happened in a short amount of time. I still go to Bluewater every time I fly in to San Diego. Did you find that bolt for the axle vent? I'm sure I probably have one I can rob off something.

Hope I can get this all evened out tomorrow. Paint came back nicely

Not necessarily. It no longer makes contact but the b-pillar side gap is wider than it should be. Received a good tip from Jason further up in this thread that I’ll try. In the end if water passes through with the gasket in place I’ll put...

Got home from a two day trip to Houston and had to load these doors onto the truck. Have a lot of hardware to put back in and will get to that when I start the wet sanding/buffing process. Overall I’m happy with the work. This should be a...

Sounds good.

Negative…on hold at the moment while I finalize a few build details.

Shane, have you sold the lot of parts at this time?

So one good thing though is I got my tig welder fixed while all this was happening so I'm going to fix it. Just suxs when u spend a tone of money on something. Took the wind out of my sails.
