Rear/Rear axle is mocked up with coils, RL/RUCA brackets and arms hard tacked up. Got the coil/shock buckets and crossmembers installed as well.
Need to box out all the frame brackets and full weld once I;m happy with all alignments...
@Hokie LX found me a sick deal on a set of 37" bfg ats not long ago. 18 months old or so, and still have the nipples on them. A set of 5 for a grand. I'm a fan. They fit the truck way better than the old 315s.
After those went on I was...
So I have done nothing to literally nothing to this truck since October when I fixed the brakes, and only driven it a few times since I picked up a more comfortable car to DD.
Even though I completely went through everything before my...
Yup tracking all that. It’s been on my list of things to fix amongst other things the previous owner half assed. Steering just made it to the top of the list. Will have mechanical linkage and hydro assist.
Sitting here waiting on the eclipse. Started talking to my wife and somehow we got on the subject of truck nuts. Said, she " absolutely forbids Big Red to have those stupid things on it".
Since I'm a man and no one tells me what to do with my...
One trip that stands out, was doing a section of the Pony Express, outside of Wendover! We followed an abandoned road until we hit a dead end at a USAF Laser Range! Running down the dock fighting off the mosquitoes to dive into the blue lake...
Feeling like I should come back to this build thread... Years and Years have gone by... so many versions of this 60!
So I will try to stick to the highlights!
I graduated college in 2017, and did some epic trips in Colorado to soak it all in...
She sounds really mean. She'll need a pusher fan added and a little bit more tweaking, but she's already running and sounding great.
this is all the extra TBI crap that got deleted. The throttle body and computer are in there too.
She's getting a little work done at AJ'S YOTAS while I'm traveling.
The pick up is also getting work done at Land Cruiser Specialist. I can't wait to come home.
Picked up this baby. Meet Snowball a turbo diesel 6 speed VW.
The plan was to teach my son how to drive in it and then eventually swap that engine into Sushi Roll. But I'm enjoying how it drives for now so I might leave it the way it is for...
HBIM
Next up was the high beam indicator module, the HBIM. I'm on my second 60 with the Koito headlight upgrade kit, and of course the problem with those is that the high beam light on the dash doesn't come on. Great kit - pretty cheap, OEM...
Dropped off some parts for sushi roll. She's getting the Big Red treatment. Wider axle housing, 4.88 lockers with lunch box lockers, IFS hubs, chromoly axles, upgraded brakes front and back, traction bar.... On the interior end, I'll be...
