Damn, you're probably right, and that's something I completely overlooked. I'll have to figure out a trick way to get a drain low enough on there without it getting ripped off on the trails...:hhmm:
Thanks for pointing that out, and thanks for the compliments! :cheers:
I removed the rear crossmember, but that's because the hitch receiver I built into the bumper wouldn't have worked with the crossmember there. If you ended up using a standard hitch receiver that hangs below the bumper, you might just be able to leave the crossmember there. Also, I didn't fully...
That's a good point - that is something I would like to add in the future, but I'd like to cut/trim my rockers down first... and that probably won't be happening anytime in the immediate future.
Yeah, I'm originally from Napa, but spent the last 7 years down in Santa Cruz. I just moved back...
And here’s some pics of the finished product!
Close-up of latch mechanism, and the bolts holding the license plate are LED’s:
Third brake light – LED’s obviously light up red.

Here it is with the plate welded on and ground smooth, and the round tube welded to it.
Here's the base of the latch mechanism.
Latch mechanism bolted on for test fit.
The base of the latch mechanism had this open hole at the front, so I quickly created a little...
Hey Everyone -
I thought I'd create a post to document the rear bumper I just finished building. It'll be a long one, as I took quite a few pics during the process, but I figured it might help others looking to build something similar. I'll try to explain everything as I go, but feel free to...
Replied to Cruiserland via PM, but would like to give it until the end of the day today to try and find one a little closer. If anyone else has one for sale, please post up!
Thanks,
Neil
Hey Guys -
I need the flange that goes in between the driveshaft and the output flange on the t-case for an FJ60.
See picture for reference - sorry for the low quality. Obviously, I need the part that's all chewed up... :whoops: That'll teach me to keep things lubricated...
Let me...
If you can afford it, the Katadyn Pocket is the best you can get, bar none.
For 1/3 the price though - the MSR MiniWorks EX is plenty good, and that's what I bought. It works great, is easy to disassemble and clean, and is plenty robust enough considering the plastic construction. Plus, it...
This has everything except for the CB and shortwave:
Jensen Heavy Duty with CD
And for those interested:
Jensen Heavy Duty without CD
I'd personally go with the second one, as all my music is digital now-a-days, and a USB thumb drive or my iphone are far better than using CD's...
poofyhole is probably spot on - when I did mine, I ordered 40 feet of 3mm, and 10 feet of 5mm, and had just a couple feet of each size left over.
I used black silicone vacuum hose I found online somewhere, and it is very nice - incredibly flexible, and very easy to work with.
