Ok...got the wobbling worked out. Thanks guys for the tips. Minor shimming and a balance job (which was a joke considering the size of the tires and the lift and everything else) was the trick. Looks like they glued a door panel on the inside of the wheels for balance weights! That said, rides...
Thank you guys. It wasn't inexpensive but was worth it and, i knew the previous owner and the build has been a good build with decent equipment. It was a frame off. Not a spec of rust on it and while i at first scoffed at the "aircraft" toggle switches and stuff....everything works and...
Last time i logged on to here, it was 12 years ago! Dayum has time flown by. Glad to see the forum still rocking. Sold my stock 70' a few years back and picked up an 84' FJ60. Sold that (Wished I hadn't). Got another 70' with a 383 stroker and NV4500. Sold that. Glad I did. Picked up this 71'...
Hey!
Been a LONG time since I posted. got my new to me 71' on the road and want to cruise to work maybe once or twice a week when it warms up as I don't have a top. No way could i drive at speed with the current setup, especially with the power steering. That's way too much fun in a bad way...

Update on selling the 40 or the 60.
Ok...
Can't get rid of the 60 cuz it fits a lot o's***e in it from Home Depot. Keeping the 40 as well cuz I finally fit in the third garage. Funny how just making room for the 40 put everything into perspective. The 40 is safely tucked away into the garage...
I was giving ya props Atlas! I see your stuff and it's really good work. Hate competing for you on bids though!
I'll be emailing ya for decals. Sell me that rear heater!
Where to buy Heater rebuild kit.
Just made my own kit...bought new screws with plastic washers from machine shop supply. New rubber pads generic type from hobby shop. New foam, same shop and new recored heater from autozone for $52.00. Not a bad job if I do say so myself!
I need to be slapped!
I just bought a sand blasting cabinet this past weekend. I read about all my brehteren buying them on this forum.
I have blasted every friggin' thing I can get my hands on. I would have blasted the damn cat if he held still long enough!
I bought the big cabinet...
