Shock mounts If you have issues with the shock mounts move 'em! You have the equipment! make some shock hoops while your at it like I did.:clap: Good luck.

Leak fix If it seem to be in the RMS area then you may as well do the pan gasket along with the trans. seals.I recently did a clutch job for a guy and he wanted the RMS done as well(smart) but the leak ended up being the main shaft seal in the gear box(the front shaft), we then replaced the...

custom fabwork worth it? I personally think anything Cristo makes is worth it!! Being a fabricator and knowing what goes into design time, build time etc.. Custom bumpers are time consuming! Why do you think no one is really making them for the 60's anymore? Everyone wants one, but no one...

gears Randy's ring and pinion sells quality stuff!! quote=TCinVA;3375655]With y'alls input, I decided I need 4.88 gears for my son's '83 mini. I just put a 3" lift and 13.50/33x15 mud grapplers on it. It looks awesome, but definately needs to be regeared. Where is the best place to...

got a vortec! I got a 5.3 you can drop in that bad boy!

Four linking the rear Kurtis, PM me and we can swap info. I am in AZ as well and can help you out with both or one of your ideas on the 60! Rondog - Vigilante fabworks P.S.- this is just in mock-up stage, but you can get an idea!

Exo cage and fenders Check out IPOR's rockcrawler section.They did a 60 with d60/14blt combo, exo, etc.. it's awesome.

bumper prices! Yeah I hear ya! everyone wants the rear bumpers, but when you make them they think their too expensive! Has anyone tried to make a bumper that detailed and nice? If you have you know that they are well worth the price at that! Great looking bumpers as always, I love your work Cristo.

ford shock towers wrong ones! Sorry.

johnny joints! The Original Johnny Joints are the way to go, Currie has them for $39.95 and they are a completely forged, one piece rebuildable unit.Just stay away from the welded ones.

solenoid problem! Sounds like the solenoid! You can get a hammer and bang on the solenoid a little bit, if it starts wich it probably will you know thats it.That is the main symptom though that I know of for click - no start trouble.Good luck.

Bad Azzz 80! That is a VERY clean 80! great stance and look too!Unfortunately I have to sell my 60, which I had converted to coils with the Slee 6" lift, but came across an 80 that will get the lift and 37" toyos! good to see one exactly how high I want to be, with the tires too! Great...

bumper not fitting! Sorry to hear that!:frown: That is the problem with prodution stuff, someone fell asleep and said"close enough" lets run it. but it can be modified I'm sure, just the principal of the whole thing, I know you paid good money for it!

leaky cruiser! One more thing I found to leak is the tranny shaft seal (the shaft that comes out of the tranny and goes into the bellhousing/clutch area). I did a clutch recently for a customer along with the rear main,oil pan, and transfer case output seals.Once we were in there we noticed...

nice doors! Yeah! I've always liked your cruiser, but now I'm in love!!:clap: Those doors are SWEET!!
