    I ordered all 4 80 TRE and when they show up I’ll measure and order the FROR bar

    It was hitting the stabilizer mount. There’s scars on the bar that match up with that when I jack the wheel up. He and I were talking about options, but did not talk about doing the keyed arms. I’ll look into it more, thanks.

    Noticed this on my way home from CRR but I bent my draglink during the event on a trail. Looking into replacing the pitman arm TRE with one from an FZJ80 along with the 4x4 labs tapered insert or switching to an 80 pitman arm. It'd be nice to get rid of the 60 series style adjustable TRE that...

    Did some cleaning today. I was asked to post something like this showing my cleaning routine by a few folks in the past year so here we go. The truck saw quite a few deep mudholes and sloppy hillclimbs during the trip which left mud packed everywhere. Luckily it poured on the way home so it...

    Drove Sandy down to Uwharrie this past week for ONSC Carolina Relic Run. Great event and great turn out! @roadstr6 brought out his beautiful tan 40 so we had to get a picture together before they got dirty. Got to wheel with the new dobinsons which did great and provided a lot more flex and...

    I have a very very slight incline at the top of my driveway which I use as a calibrated and scientific gauge. Usually the truck will free roll very slowly in neutral and it is now after the 5 min test drive. The longer drive tomorrow will be more telling. It’ll be good to check with your tool...

    I plan to take it for a longer drive tomorrow to check. Which one of my adjustments raised concern, the booster master rod extension?

    All sorted, I hope. Ended up shortening the pedal-booster rod all the way in so it hit the back of the pedal, adjusted the pedal stop to match. Ended up extending the booster-master rod a hair (1/8 turn) and seems to be the sweet spot. Pedal feel is much improved and no dragging, that I've...

    Clutch slave adjusted, new skid installed, zerks greased, ac belt tightened. All she needs is a bath and we're ready for Carolina Relic Run this weekend. I have been toying with the brake booster adjustment rod for a while now, basically since I installed the new booster. I’m not sure if it’s a...

    Working on my to do list for the first wheeling event of the year that I leave for on Thursday. - adjusted the set screw on the new used steering box to tighten it up. - retorqued and trimmed ubolts from Dobinsons install. - replaced rear side marker that lost a fight with a tree at Fall...

    Put about 25 miles on Sandy today. Initial impressions of the dobinsons are really good. The shock/spring combo feels much better on road than my ancient blown out, crushed procomp shocks...shocker. I have the sway bar disconnected for now and will keep it that way through the wheeling trip in a...

    Goodie box from @Rockymtnreaper showed up the other day. Got the box cleaned up with some degreaser, wire brush and pressure washer and installed and Sandy is driving again! Hoping to put some miles on it this week to get a feel for the new Dobinsons and fix any issues that may have cropped up...

    Sandy the Tan FJ60

    I’ll let you know once I get some miles on it. Will have a 2 hour drive to my event next weekend which should be a nice baseline along with some wheeling. In other news, I was able to snag a few PS box rebuild kits that surprisingly showed up from Amayama. These are now discontinued so...

    Got the front Dobinsons shocks installed today that showed up a few weeks ago. I also replaced all the shock hardware F&R with new Toyota bolts/washers. I’ll put some miles on it then retorque and trim the ubolts and should be good to go! Just need to get the steering box back in and I’ll be...

    Yes, they offer a left and right seat.

    New seat for the 60. Wanted something new that was hopefully more comfortable than the stock seats and this one delivers. They’re back ordered in this color so passenger seat will come later. It’s a Bestop Trailmax II Pro in their spice color with the fabric insert. They fit great in the 60...

    As many have posted recently, the Toyota Koito headlights lights are on sale at Toyota dealers. I just picked up a spare set for $17 to have cause why not. Includes the headlights, bulbs, zip ties, and full harness! Best deal Toyota has IMO. I have since switched to LED headlights but still...

    Good point. I may run around with it off and see how she feels then decide.

    FR: 21.75” RR: 21.6” RL: 21.5” FL: 21.75” Damn near level. So maybe driving it up and down the driveway a couple times moving it has moved the bushings back and forth and settled it a hair.
