    For the dome light, there was corrosion between all or some of the contact pieces and some of the rivets were loose. Drilled out all the rivets, cleaned the contacts and refastened with M2 screws and washers/nuts. Now I have a consistently working dome light!

    Been wrapping up little things to get everything working. Unplugging and replugging the rear defrost seemed to fix that. Took the washer fluid pump out, opened it up and got the gears moving and now those squirt. Today is fix the horn and dome light. Horn contact was worn really far down. Local...

    I’ve been having issues with getting hot in stop and go traffic or when running the AC so time for a fix. My stock radiator has a few pinhole leaks (free to anyone that wants it) so I picked up a Mishimoto aluminum radiator that @OGBeno had; thanks again! New radiator, changed out water pump, as...

    Wow. I thought I had put in a new filter but wasn’t sure. Just looking through my thread and I did. Just did another new filter because the one from march looked pretty bad. Idle was starting to get rough at times and the new filter seems to have cured that. Ya, that’s a 6 month old filter…..

    I’ve suspected my secondary on the Amazon carb hasn’t been opening so started testing yesterday. Did the paper clip test and no change. When I pulled the diaphragm off it will hold vacuum and actuate the rod but pretty clear looking at the mounting face it never sees vacuum. The hole for vac to...

    Today was a pretty cool day for the 60, literally. I got the AC working again. When I got this cruiser, the AC belt was missing and there was no pressure in the system. I knew I’d need to convert to R134 so I’ve been gathering all new belts, drier, compressor, switch and valve. Also a good...

    If you thought it had style before….. I added some dirt cheap “saddle blanket” seat covers because the seats are super hot when it sits in the parking lot at 95 degrees. Not as bright in person. They’ve done the trick. And thanks, I’m happy with how’s it’s turned out.

    I took the 60 on a work trip to go to a couple dams today. Longest trip yet at 260 miles round trip, no stops the way there. Besides the passenger side wiper deciding to stop working (was just the arm nut came loose), was uneventful. One positive, I’ve been getting about 13 mpg with mixed...

    Been doing lots of driving and not a lot of posting. But the power steering pump leaks all its juice out about every 50 miles. I got a “new” pump from an online store. We will see how it holds up. New return hoses since the old ones were pretty stiff and cracking. Also replaced the smog pump...

    I did put on a power adder last night when we had to run into town. I’m using a carb spacer from a 40 series and the vacuum nipple on it is right against the throttle shaft for the AC kickup. Well, the vacuum cap I had on there split and was just an open vac leak. Got a new cap at the combo...

    The last month has been super busy. We moved from western WA to Spokane area so every free day has been spent moving stuff. Finally a free weekend so we headed into Idaho to camp at Farragut State Park. My kids only know travel trailer camping but I told them it’s time for some life experiences...

    About 50 miles on the 5 speed and overall I’m pretty happy with my choice. I used the adapter bushing with the 4 speed shifter instead of buying the 5 speed shifter. Maybe that leads to my one nuisance, maybe not. The shifter doesn’t seem to have a “home” spot it returns to: if you pull it out...

    Success! 10 miles and it’s great! T-case works as it should and keeps its fluids inside it which is a nice feature. Need to get the tunnel cover back on because there’s too much heat coming into the cab. Then I’ll get some more miles on it.

    Came back from a week away working to a big Toyota package. Mmmmmm…. I’ve got about 2 half days to work on this, it may be going by the time I have to head back to work. Today, I was able to assemble the t-case on the transmission and get it installed. Need gear oil and a couple bolts but I...

    Got the transfer case stripped and soaking in cleaner so I can start reassemble tomorrow. Picked up all my parts from Torfab this morning, except the H55 was still in shipping. Aaaaaahhhhh! Just got a text the tranny is here! But I can’t get it today so my wife will have to pick it up next week...
