I chased a cold start problem for months once, I tried the alternator, battery, starter motor, and ignition switch. While I think some of those things contributed to it, the worst culprit in the equation was my Cold Start Injector. I removed it...
My SR was done by a previous owner but from everything I've gathered it sees like it was a homebrew job. It doesn't look like any of the "kits" I've seen, although it was done 20+ years ago. It's welded-on and very stout. (I can't wait to...
Haha, love Work Meisters, those and TE-37s are my all-time favorite wheels. I'm an ex-JDM boy so I have a soft spot for JDM wheels on Cruisers. I want tall skinny tires, probably going with 35x10.5 or 11.5. I go back and forth between wanting...
My 62 is the same color and I've recently decided to keep it white rather than re-spray it. Now I'm reconsidering my wheel choice, what are your wheel/tire specs?
I really want to do this mod, but I have 2183048 things I need to do first. I'll be slumming it on Leafs for the foreseeable future.
Sidenote: How good is that Badlands Jack? I've been so happy with mine.
Thanks for directing me to your build thread, I plan to do the same thing with my quarter panels. The worst rust on my 62 are the rockers and rear quarters so I'm chopping both, I like the way you capped your quarters, I'll likely do the same...
Damn, your truck has thrown me a curveball. I had convinced myself I was going to paint my 62 a different color, now I kind of want to keep it white. I plan to do the same wheels as yours, so it's swaying me to stay white.
What was it that...
Is it possible to add a hole for a Sub in the Door-less quarter panels? I know there's not much room and it will need to be reinforced, I'm looking for a way to add a sub to the truck and have it look OEM+.
What did you paint your grille/bezels and door handles with? Has it held up? After I paint my truck I want to "de-chrome" it, but, I've never seen a consensus on what product to use for best results.
Oh yea, I forgot about Rivets. I already had an ARB installed so I didn't have to deal with that. Taking my ARB off was 10x more of a pain in the ass than installing the Dissent. I had to use a bunch of different combinations of wrenches...
I've installed mine just to test fit, I'm in the process of tearing my 62 down so it won't get painted and installed permanently for several months. It's pretty straight forward, other than the 2 brackets with the large circular holes, I have no...
Amazing build. I've debated doing an 80 frame swap but I lack the skill at this point to tackle it myself. My frame is also in good condition so it seems silly at this point to dive into a frame swap with a perfectly good frame, I'll live with...
From everything I've seen, they do look like a lot of work, but my simpleton brain can justify them because it will be less work than welding in patch panels then building sliders separately. The added ground clearance is a bonus!
Are you still happy with your sliders? I found your build from a thread about cutting and replacing your rockers with sliders. I have a 62 and my rockers are toast, rather than weld in patch panels, I'm planning on doing sliders exactly like...
