Compromise. Cot in back of 60 is more comfortable by miles. But just trying to function for weeks at a time and stay above the bugs. The roof tent is just more comfortable in the long run. I have a ridiculous idea I’m working on - so standby for that.
I got it that way from a salvaged burnt 62. I hauled my previous identical earlier version of the same tent for
7-8 yrs. I’m glad the basket is off it. I wouldn’t drill holes in these bars. They are only thin wall 3/4” square tube.
Drilling through would make them weak. Its a great rack, if...
After missing my old tent it was time for new. Ran down to Autohome @ Gig Harbor, WA and picked up new Maggiolina Extreme.
This one is the small. Black Storm colour combo. The top will be painted to match the truck soon enough. Black is too hot. The handle needed some 10 lb persuasion to...
Custom Snorkel screen. Got a couple of hours to kill.
In no particular order. Took one of my old last century round headlight screens and made rough cut. Couple of strips of .18 ga metal leftover from fender work. Bent it up. Welded it up. Kind of fun. Got a road warrior vibe to it...
Exactly how I did mine, until I moved it to the air cleaner housing for FMIC ducting, etc. then I installed my Provent 200 catch can there now.
But I have the 12HT / 2H air cleaner, different than you,
Had pics but they were on the phone. I also got the Westach gauges backlight done.
I like the old school sweep gauges, and the backlight option was green so matches the old interior lights.
The Westach pod is thin plastic crap, with crappier mount. So I used a window frame rear view mirror...
Finally after ten years of sounds of silence, I installed the Alpine stereo I removed from my
FJ40 in 2004! LOL. I also undated my gauges and got the back lights to work. For those with
factory brackets, What was Toyota thinking?! Anyhow, this is my solution. It’s certainly solid
and I...
I even did a patch on the lower front fender. My first experience with trying to blend
new over old. Ended with wet dry sanding 800 grit. This is my supply of odds and
ends of paint repair. I get aerosol mixed of my base coat as it’s semi metallic. Seems to
go on well and it’s good...
Finally decided to clean up that rust spot on the A pillar. It started to look ugly a couple years
ago and I just decided I’d had enough. Windshield was smashed bad last summer so I removed
it myself. I also found some other spots hidden around the window frame so this part of
rusteration...
Finished up GTurbo install and intercooler on my non AC LHD 12HT. It’s been a long time mucking about.
But once I got the parts all done, only two days to assemble. I’m pretty happy with it. It’ll sit for a while
as I have to go to work, but build thread to follow in the diesel section. I...
Replaced the motor on my compressor winch, after 10 yrs it finally gave it up. It runs all the time when either winching or using the air compressor. It was actually easy to troubleshoot thanks to tech support from Warn. Gave me a chance to clean up and repaint Dave’s modified bumper :)
Took...
