Got the LC back on all 4’s today. Big thanks to @cruiseroutfit for helping me with all my questions!
Next week I’ll pull the the engine and transmission. Once I get everything out I’ll get it cleaned up and start replacing all the seals and gaskets. I’ll most likely replace the starter and...
Little help.
Can someone refresh my memory. It’s been a while.
Does this look right. All my parts got mixed up and I’m trying to make sure I’ve got the right shackles up front.
The one in my hand would go in the back. They look almost exactly the same.
Thanks
Good to know. I briefly looked at 5-speed options and it’s just too much at this point. I’ve been reading up on trans coolers so I might go that route. For now I’ll follow your plan and ride the auto till she dies.
Made some head way today. Started removing smog equipment. Cleaned up and painted a bunch of parts and installed my rear c-channels. For those of you who haven’t done your c-channels let me tell you it a hell of a job.
All that being said I’m really enjoying working on the 62 again. Next up...
As I wait for random parts to come in, I've got a question for the experts. Is the auto a weak point in these? From what I can tell, my 62 was well-maintained before I got it and had clean fluid when I drained it. However, I don't want to pull this thing apart to have to take it apart again a...
Upon further inspection, it would be a ton of work to get it to clear the driver's side motor mount. So hopefully, I'll pull the trans and engine sperate sometime next week. I'll do my best to take pictures and document as I go.
Well, when I said slow build, I meant really slow! Between COVID and 3 kids, and the 40, my 62 has been untouched for almost three years. The good news is it has been inside the whole time, just waiting as I finished the 40. The 40 is now up and driving again, so I will move on to the 62. So now...
So I’m in a holding pattern for now waiting for parts to come in. At this point the lift is really the main hang up. I ordered it last week but haven’t heard anything so it’s just a waiting game . The current suspension is shot so no driving till I get everything in. I’ll probably knock the...
Ok, so we've gone from a possible purchase to a light build that always has the potential to turn into more.
So hers the plan for now.
2.5-inch lift Dobinson IMS
JBA UCA
New Wheels and tires (TRD Wheels/Falcon wild peak A/T's)
New Radio/Backup Camera
Timing Belt Water pump
Baseline all PM...
Quick update. So I've spent the weekend convincing my wife that I need yet another vehicle. If you can't tell by my signature I have a small Toyota 4x4 problem. Anyways I've been looking at lifts and want to know what you guys recommend? It's between Iron man and Dobinson and I know I could be...
