Bolts, nuts and tack welds to ensure the bolts and nuts don't back off. More details in the Turdle Build Thread link in my signature below.

I was about to post this pic from my 60 (Turdle), but Spike beat me to it. 100 percent agree. Loosen the belts and check for wobble at the outer pulley. I did a DIY fix on this one and it has held up just fine for several years.

Got it on the calendar!

Take the parts you think you'll need if you want Toyota parts installed. Otherwise he will source aftermarket. He will reuse the shims as-is and "tip" the valves to the correct lash. It's been a while, but I only remember supplying new valve seals...maybe guides, but I can't remember. It...

X2 on Mike at Quality Auto Machine in Monroe. He did the head on my 80 six years ago and I was happy with his work. Truck still runs great to this day. I've had him to resurface several 2F manifolds as well. Good work every time.

Tighten your front panhard bolts to the proper spec and the noise will disappear. The noise is the sleeve in the panhard bushings rubbing in the mounts. Correct your caster to fix wandering on the road.

This truck has a ton of good parts: Dome light, tailgate handle, tool bag, jack and tools, mats...a treasure trove for the Pig enthusiast. Unfortunately, the rust repairs will be $$$$. My vote is to clean it up and get it running and let the rust have its way with it while you enjoy it. Carb...

Can't make this one. I'll be at Windrock for Cruisers On The Rocks. Y'all have fun!

We usually start thinking about hitting trails around 9:00-9:30. It's alot like herding cats though. Invariably somebody will need to go get a trail pass at the Outpost (don't forget to get that). We'll end up waiting around for one reason or another. If we get out there by 10:30 - 11:00...

I'm familiar with the OEM harness, as my truck is K292 and I added all the factory K294 locking bits myself (to include the harness). I'm interested to know what you find. I'd like to get rid of that blinking light as well. I haven't put any effort into it yet because my lockers are both...

May need to do the same clean / lube at the locker actuator. FWIW, my front locker indicator blinks even when the front is locked and confirmed 100 percent that it is truly locked. Drive around on gravel and make sure your lockers aren't working because in my experience, sometimes the blinking...
