Redline sells a suspension kit that claims to put the axle back and centered in the wheel well. Not sure who makes their springs. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/new-redline-2-5-suspension-kit.1362567/page-2

Is 1” offset towards the back the common move? When I refresh the suspension in my 40, I would like to get these springs. But moving the axle back at the same time seems like a good move.

Pretty sure this one came off my truck. Plating is kinda tricky, on the threads it looks a little more gold, but up under the bolt head it looks predominantly silver. But if it has gold coloring it has to be cad/chromium plated.

Look up oldmatesawyer on Instagram. Man is an artist with metal and busting out FJ45 beds in his shop, in addition to every other panel imaginable. https://www.instagram.com/oldmatesawyer?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

@Unimogguy I may have one in much better condition. A denso unit. I'll go look through the boxes and get back to you. I swear there was another on hand.

Thank you and everyone for supporting the work! I love these old cruisers and want to see them still being used or at least have the option to keep being used. :)

Hey all, Just thought I would give the early cruiser owner's a heads up that we have reproduced the gasket kit for the oil filter canister. Now that the OEM oil filters are gone, this gasket is also NLA. Hope this is helpful to some! :)...

Various spots. All the same style bolts (2/64 build) on a 1965 model.

Hey! Good memory. My rig was built in Feb. 1964. I’ll go look around the truck tonight for signs of plating color. A lot of bolts are either painted or rusty. But I can say that a lot of the hardware is the flat with a number. I thought it wasn’t OEM for the longest time since I was so used to...

Yeah see if you can make something work! :) Thank you for the kind words! Seriously appreciated. :cheers:

Can you incorporate the factory rubber isolator mounts some how? Helps reduce vibrations on the unit.

Oh and to provide a better data point. This is for the Llumar Stratos 70 film. I think its high in their product range. I wanted a film that was as clear as possible while still providing the heat and UV protection for family and the aging interior plastics. :)

Going to get a 70% tint on my FJ62 soon. Going to be about $1k like others have said.

Went on a ride on Sunday. I am terrible about stopping to take pics. I have been working to increase the lengths of my rides and their intensity. Feeling better every ride. Using Tailwinds as an energy supplement in the water bottles. I need to find a good snack to bring though as well. I want...

I got to hand it to Pogacar, even when he could have chilled and rolled across the line on the last stage with the race in the bag, he still fought for the stage win. Respect for racing until the end!
