i dont remember the brand, i bought them on ebay from the falkland islands (!)

I dont know anything specific about the paint type, i asked for a paint a can run trough branches and bushes and not be to worried about scratches. The paint guy mentioned something about a thick tractorpaint layer. the color is lada 110 red

i havent checked this thread for a while, and i was very pleasantly surprised to see and read so many replies since last. I have gone back to uni and really have no need for the 60 at the moment, but no way i am selling this gem so it is stored in a garage. a couple of shots from this fall...

This, And i have not had any problems or issues with the 24V on my HJ. There is 24V anternaltives for almost any application, you just have to look for it.

yes, it has a coaster brake, and 46/18 gearing so it is very good at slow speeds around town, where i use it. I think i will go for a coaster brake on the next one too, because i really like how it looks with no wires, here in norway we do have lots of hills and i am not that interested in...

Thank you all, i am going to the junkyard this saturday to get parts for one more:)

The rest of my bits arrived today:) The bullhorn bar i ordered did not fit so i went for the stock handlebar, witch worked out awesome Everything came together with no drama Bike is done, 5 days after i started, i guess i spent 5-6 uneffective hours in total My cheap ass tires...

I love build threads, and one of the things i want most to do in my life is to do a proper frame off restoration of a classic land cruiser, however i am a student witch can barely afford to drive my old landcruiser, to cure some of this itch i have to make do with smaller stuff. Therefor...

That is one good looking 2H, cant wait to see how you will do the turbo setup. keep up the good work!

i really love that brown color and the style of what you are doing. I am so baffeled by this machine i even had a dream about a few nights ago. When it will be my turn to do a frame off resto of a sixty this will def be the color of my choice.

i do agree on this aswell, the freeborn red is a very nice red and i would not have any other shade of red on my cruiser. this is my sixty, it is not a fj but is red. more pictures in my signature.

I think we had over 60°F that day! therefore the barefoot season is on. We where also quite moist after sleeping without a tent in the rain. It is also over 10°C (50°F) in the water so we also had the first proper swim this year.

The turbo upgrade is the best thing i have done with my sixty, totally worth every australian dollar! The Splits i run is 16x5.5 no problem at all. i dont air down to extreme low pressures because of the innertube anyways. These splits are very easy to work with and after a few times i can...

let me update this with a couple of photos from today, the snow and ice is finally melted away so it is time for some summer activities.
