So I'm seeing a lot of concrete related threads and didn't want to steal any of them so I figured that for those of you wishing to put in that basement, wall, footing, slab I'd post up a few DIY pics. Any one here should be able to whip something like this out on a standard two day weekend I'm...
I'm going to have the cruiser repainted (stock brown to yellow) and need a good paint shop either in Contra Costa or Solano county (NorCal). Also need to remove a few spots of body rust & have new metal welded in. I don't want to do the bondo.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated...
If anyone is interested I have the stock springs off my 60 series. Replaced them with OME's a few years ago. They are yours if you want them. Come get them or pay for the shipping & I send em wherever.
I was going to donate them to the local landfill (which recycles all steel brought in)...
After somewhat rebuilding the engine I noticed oil dripping from the pan right behind the plug. After letting it sit for a week I noticed about 1.5 quarts sitting on the driveway. OK so I figure that when my buddy bead blasted the oil pan it may have punctured a hole around one of the spot...

Need further light & knowledge as to which one. Leaning towards the Rust Encapsulator, but am wondering if anyone has any long term results w/ it?
So here's the deal with my rebuild.
Turns out my block was never rebored. The pistons are marked 50 indicating one size over standard. So I picked up one piston (#6) and a new ring kit, based upon the above info. So when I tried to insert #6 it won't even come close to dropping in. Then I...
I'm still running the stock alternator on my 85 and have noticed it runs right around 13 amps. When running the head lights, front & rear wipers and the rear defroster it drops to 11-12 amps. When the front two Piaa's come on it is right at 10-11amps.
So far the battery hasn't failed, but...
We've seen the incredible job TiredIron did putting Volvo 303 portal axles on his 80 series, https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=59452&highlight=portal+axles but has this been done with a 60.
I'm thinking the 303-v-Pinzguauer axles, and would you have to swap out the leafs for coils?
Three weeks with the new Ron Davis radiator in and I am consistently running 5 degrees cooler than normal. Use to temp out at 220, and occasionally soar above that especially when stopped in traffic. I can now run with A/C on stopped in traffic & it stays at 215. Highly highly recommend it.
I'm looking for info on the alternate filter assembly, which mounts to the passenger side (engine bay) for the US 60 series Safari snorkel conversion. I've seen pics in the past but of course can no longer locate them or any info for that matter on here or MAF's site. I know I'm over looking...
Looking for 4:88's w/ intent of putting 35's on. Heard of Randy's & Percison Gear.
I know I'll need it in a kit format, anyone know who sells it like this though?
Ron Davis Radiator is MAF radiator
Looking to swap out stock radiator, (85 fj60) with a Ron Davis one. Need to know if anyone has done one of these swaps. Any help & info would be greatly appreciated.
A San Francisco 12 yr old boy was mauled to death by his family pets, two pitbulls. Police shot and killed one dog, and the second was taken by animal control officers at the scene.
Very sad.
