If it were me, I would go easy on the roof with abrasives. Maybe try an undraided wire wheel or steel brush first. If something more agressive is needed, creep up on it with the sand paper grits. That rust doesn't look too deep on the roof. That way you dont grind off the high points of the ribs.
I wont know till I replace the rear shock bushings with the correct size and extend my rear break line. Hopefully I can take it for a spin next week. Oops, forgot I replied to your question already.
I'll know in a week when I canntake it for a spin. My shock bushings were the wrong size, so I'll be ordering a set of them today. I'll take it for a spin once I swap them out.
I just ordered a set of 33 x10.5 - 15 General Grabber X3 M/T tires. They should be here next week sometime. A lot of stuff is so far back ordered that I had to compromise a little on tires. Not as aggressive as I would like but should suit my needs for the time being. Once I settle on a set...
My 6 ton jack stands are halfway extended just to get the stock suspension and tires off the ground, I hope they are tall enough once everything is put back together.
I'll be picking up a long reach floor jack after I absorb the cost of the lift. My regular floor jack just wont hold any longer. Got my eye on one of these as well.
Thanks for the info guys. I'm changing direction. This was a learning experience for sure and I'm ditching this style of T/O bearing for an external slave cylindef arrangement. These things are dumb. Haha

This is in reference to an 86 FJ60. I am wrapping up the wiring on my LS swap and am looking to mount my fuse panel in place of the carb cooling fan relay. Obviously I wont be running that fan. Anyone see a problem with deleting the relay?
Well s***. I don't know how this got passed me. I've been reading through build threads for so long and I can't recall reading about this issue. I guess I'll split the difference and get the motor as level as possible and go forward with this janky looking set up. I'm having regrets about...
