Thank you, it was low in the priority list until rodents created that disgusting urine smell and I refused to sleep in the 60! Now it’s fricken awesome! I want to go camping in it now! Thanks
Oh, and I put new mud tires!
@mesa man that looks great. Carpet is one of those things that’s way down my list (after an engine rebuild, steering box rebuild, etc), but good lord it makes such a huge difference. I bet it feels really nice stepping into the truck with that.
I installed a carpet kit in my FJ60 from Auto custom carpets(OC carpet). There was a lot of trimming and adjusting and the technique of using a soldering iron to burn the seat mount holes was a good idea @POTATO LAUNCHER
I am pleased with the...
I’ve been working on mine since a couple months after SAS7. : )

My friends were calling me lowrider Larry at the lone star Land Cruiser roundup because I hadn’t had time to install my lift. I was thankful for white knuckle...
My steering gear box needed rebuilt so I sent it out to Redhead Steering Gears in Washington for rebuild and porting; I plan to add hydro-assist at some point. WOW does this 61 steer so nice now… like an 80 series, lol. I’ve driven it several...
Seam sealer and rust encapsulating paint done on the body. Ready for final cleaning and then primer this weekend.
Frame has been fully painted with POR15. Did most of it from the underside last year, and just had to clean and sand down the tops...
Saturday I went to @boots4 shop and installed Manafrelv Big Brake Kit.

Why on earth would you put a winch on with no intention of ever using it?? To make your car look cooler??
Possibly the stupidest thing I've read here in a while.
I handed the 5th or 6th iteration of the baton off to @KennyBob at Lonestar LandCruiser Roundup a week ago. It is currently in his possession waiting the next hand off in the San Antonio/ Austin Texas area.
Let's keep this going with the intent...
Uhhh, weigh the winch, then put similar weight on front of truck, then you'll see the difference....
Winch won't add or subtract value, only winch of 'value' is 8274 but it doesn't drive sales. If it is original and never sees dirt, I guess I...
The correct winch to add would be an 8274, but I dont think adding a winch has a direct correlation to price. If you add an 8274, I think your rig sells for the same price. You already have a desireable year, which is way more impactful to price...
Depends on which winch and how much it weighs, but it probably won't impact the ride height any time soon. Over time, extra weight adds up and will cause some sag; how much depends on your springs and the extra weight on them.
I don't know...
Cruiser for science in the Kisatchie National Forest, LA this weekend. At one point I misjudged the lack of solidity along the shoulder of the road. Had to winch out.
This weekend I drove from Costa Rica to Granada Nicaragua for some visit and exploring. Currently waiting for full darkness to fall before proceeding up to the rim of the Masaya Volcano to see the active lava lake.
If anyone finds a JIS thread chase kit. Please let me know where. I'd love one.
Some parts store lone out these kits. Oreilly's is one I know has them.
It's not JIS, but works well enough.
What a weekend. 2 weeks ago I was contacted my Mickey Thompson tires and asked to do a photo shoot in Johnson Valley for the company. Friday we had perfect weather and for 3 hours they had me staging the 45, doing video runs in some sand washes...
The fact that our rigs have become synonymous with hipsters really grinds my gears. I guess I should be grateful if we're talking about resale value.
First it was long beards, so I shaved.
Then it was Filson, so I kept my old vest in the...
Chbrow10 covered it well. The wiring diagram is in all my listings on Ebay, Amazon and on my website. Feel free to print it off.
The cables from Albright to motor are typically 4 to 2 awg. I like to use 1/0 or 2/0 from battery to winch as these...
The 3 pin will work, you’ll have to cut off the ring terminals and put spade connectors on. There are wiring diagrams out there to explain how to wire the old 3 wire harnesses. You’ll need to look up the Albright information understand where to...
