Jdc1's latest activity

My offer of guiding a Mohican area loop still stands.... Also happy to do one or two people by themselves if a group thing is not obtainable...

Call Georg at Valley Hybrids, ask him to build you a kit using FJ60 knuckles and swap onto your existing axle housings. Youll be much happier than one of the kits that use Chevy junk. @orangefj45

I need to get out of Aug/Sept and then can get something “official” on the books.

@mchlhmltn, it did not. I had a lot going on with the family and @Jdc1 had a packed schedule at his shop so it fell by the wayside. I'd still be up for something this fall if schedules allow.

Had some things I needed to tighten up on the suspension. Steering was pretty sloppy. Couple of tie-rod bolts were loose.😡 Right knuckle also needed a little tightening too. Working on the hood, last big piece of the puzzle. Doors and 1/2 doors...

Poke a piece of wire through the hole, wiggle it around

Passenger side step installed, only two holes lined up so I had to drill new ones. I also attached it to the fender. Now the fender is almost where it should be but now the hood over hangs some. I will need to do a lot of adjustments to finish. I...

Funny but I find my self in 3rd …lugging around some corners…big difference with the gears You’ve done a freakin’ great job Jesse @Jdc1

Al- with the terrain tamer springs, the next set of tires can be 33” for even better hwy rpms.

Finally got around to putting the rear leaf springs on. It sat around for a few months but finally my wife said she wanted to take it for ice cream so I got to work and got it back on the road. Also installed the new dashpad that had been sitting...

I'll follow your progress as I to am a 67 year old geezer and crawling on the shop floor is not much fun!!

Thanks @RevISK … lo and behold…as maybe the most resistant person in my circle to spend another $2500 or more, I ordered the Terrain Tamer spring kit. I need a better ride. this 40 is stiffer and harder to bounce than any other I have had over...

HEAT!! I spent a few weeks PBBlasting, Impact Screwdriving... with no luck. Picked up a $49 induction heater at Harbor Fright and after ONE cycle on each capture nut from behind, each screw came out slowly. Couldn't heat from the front, but the...

Nice! I didn't even know HF made an induction heater. I will give it a try for fifty bucks. Thanks! I just looked on the website and don't see it, do you happen to have a link?

These also work well...

These work great- add heat and Kroil...

Cut the quarters anyway-

I’ll see if I can dig it out of the pile- don’t be afraid to remind me if I get sidetracked. Have to get this truck out before the salt flies.

Most economies are based on “market price” as opposed to “cost”. They charge what someone there thinks is the market price; Old Toyota parts prices are not very consistent but should not be expected to be fixed at cost. I am an appraiser...

Anything that @cruiseroutfit /cruiserteq sells will fit the bill.

Every time I see a link for something I feel like I should click to see it, but part of me thinks Barry Wood is going to be on the other side of that link…

Covid left a lot of scars on us all….

I think this is one of my favorite campgrounds. Highly recommended! My mum brought a UV flashlight and these critters were lit up everywhere!

Used a kit from Straight Electric Power Steering Kit - ePowerSteering - https://epowersteering.com/purchase/product/straight-kit/?v=84de8e2b14bb and some leftover parts to build a ‘71 EPS system. Not pretty yet but fits.
