Shock mounts
If you have issues with the shock mounts move 'em! You have the equipment! make some shock hoops while your at it like I did.:clap: Good luck.
Leak fix
If it seem to be in the RMS area then you may as well do the pan gasket along with the trans. seals.I recently did a clutch job for a guy and he wanted the RMS done as well(smart) but the leak ended up being the main shaft seal in the gear box(the front shaft), we then replaced the...
custom fabwork worth it?
I personally think anything Cristo makes is worth it!! Being a fabricator and knowing what goes into design time, build time etc.. Custom bumpers are time consuming! Why do you think no one is really making them for the 60's anymore? Everyone wants one, but no one...
Four linking the rear
Kurtis,
PM me and we can swap info. I am in AZ as well and can help you out with both or one of your ideas on the 60!
Rondog - Vigilante fabworks
P.S.- this is just in mock-up stage, but you can get an idea!
bumper prices!
Yeah I hear ya! everyone wants the rear bumpers, but when you make them they think their too expensive! Has anyone tried to make a bumper that detailed and nice? If you have you know that they are well worth the price at that! Great looking bumpers as always, I love your work Cristo.
solenoid problem!
Sounds like the solenoid! You can get a hammer and bang on the solenoid a little bit, if it starts wich it probably will you know thats it.That is the main symptom though that I know of for click - no start trouble.Good luck.
leaky cruiser!
One more thing I found to leak is the tranny shaft seal (the shaft that comes out of the tranny and goes into the bellhousing/clutch area). I did a clutch recently for a customer along with the rear main,oil pan, and transfer case output seals.Once we were in there we noticed...
prices!
I will get a price list together for all the products and submit it to Kavik Offroad, there is where you will find them!:D
Thanks for you interest,

better handles for your swing-outs!
Yeah! go to Kavik offroad and look at my link,there is a pic of the latching area on a bumper I recently built.You could try a set of these, the mod should be fairly easy. Goodhand latches.good luck. For some reason I can't get my pics to take, to post up on...
door panels
I used 1/8" aluminum plate, it met up with the top piece perfectly where it curves and has that break in the metal.I have recently tore down my cruiser, but will try to scrounge up some pics for you.
looking good!
Great job on your cruiser, looks F:censor:'in sweet!:clap:
And yes dragging jeeps around all the time will take it's toll on anyone(and their equipment). You should probably have a price list with you when you go wheeling!:doh:
rear 60/62 bumpers!
I'm still making bumpers! There are a couple fellows out there who have been kind enough (as well as patient) to put there trust in my designs. Hopefully there will be some pics and great reviews from them as well!:D I do have a great stash of pics from the build-up of these...
beef up the axles
I've thought of that combo a time or two myself!SWEEEET!! Well since you asked, I would probably consider swapping out to some sort of 1 ton axle set - dana 60's - or 60/14 bolt - you know what I mean! You know the problems I'm sure with both front and rear Toy axles - weak...
SOA on 37"s
Here was my SOA on 37's - Man-A-Fre shackle reversal, BTB 4" srpings, custom shackles, rear shackle hangers on both axles moved forward 1 1/2", 1 1/2" wheel spacers(really did'nt want to use them), cut fenders.
