It’s alive! Rear brakes are Caesar salad but it’s alive!

I'm sorry. Should have got a hold of you. I got really distracted getting the 60 all wrapped up. Went on a trip. Everything is just ticking along and we had a guy quit in a moment. So I'm back at work. Soon as I'm reorganized

It was great to see everyone again. its been to long! a few photos of our trip after the day.

1992 80 series RHD diesel auto triple locked. Really decent shape for $22K...

1976 BJ40 Project, looks ok but needs work and I think the roof is just sitting there...

For sale again. For the 3rd time??

I forgot the plow out front. What would that weigh roughly? If it's more than a winch then that will wear down the front end springs faster. Might have to look at adding a leaf or two.

How long are your front shackles? Factory short?

2nd owner. 3B. Beautiful truck. Just around the corner from NSOR in N Van.

OK now, that's not a 12HT. I still think he'd get his ass kicked by the guy in the Disco!

Pretty sure this is same as mine. Just a simple steel plate the u-bolts capture. The spring itself has a threaded eye that threads onto stud on bracket. Simple. Blue is softer, Black is harder...

I'll drop these in here as I searched for seats for a long time before committing to some. Bestop Trailmax II Pro seats. They're $350 or less per seat depending on the options you select like fabric insert or not. I went with Spice color with the...

The thing I hate about those undercoating paints is once the rust finds a way it runs under there twice as fast. I imagine dealing with rust poking threw from a pinch weld touching up that coating would be nightmare. Mine I can deal with a rust...

this paint is demo'd on a 45 so it has some toyota content, but I'd sure like to know WTF this stuff is made of. figured @stevebradford could repaint his 60.

SumoSprings make great bumpstops. Absorb up to 1500 lbs so the 12HT sort of bounces thru cross ditches, doesn't pound into them and knock teeth fillings out. Pic is on full droop, they sit about 1" from spring when settled

Thanks Cruiserpilot, just what I was looking for!

check it with a caliper now while its on the truck.

I wheeled with this monster last weekend. Lets just say it was interesting.

@ Costco surrey.

Right at Victoria Airport there is Seawings International. https://www.seawings.ca/ Phone them and sort it out. They are super reliable. Charge 75 cents or so per pound to bring directly from Blaine. Been doing it for years so it's not new...

Do you have a pic of the install like that pic above of the Volvo seat. I find Volvo seats are pretty tight fitting and I'm not a big guy.

Seats that are pretty much bolt in are Subaru Impressa.....the set I have are manual.... not sure of the year....... pull the Subaru rails off and the bolt holes are 15.5" apart.. and thats you need for the OEM 60 rails to bolt on.... only down...

Somehow this pic belongs here.
