Progress on frame and supension, with axles going in. Engine/transmission installed. Fuel and evap system lines were a pain to run. But end result was worth it.

Fantastic restore. Did you take the spare tire carrier apart? I am afraid to take mine apart in case I can't get it back together.
Great looking fj60’s!Awesome job attention to do detail looks spot on going through this thread makes me want to do a ground up rebuild on my 84 fj60 or my 86 hj61 so bad love seeing these old Toyota’s being saved to live another few decades yet

Littlebilly is right. Once its clean and fresh its so much easier to work on. When I started it back up, my power steering pump started leaking and it was a 10 minute job to get it out for inspection. I am so glad that I decided to mount the short bolt for power steering pump mounting bracket by the manifold. Saved me a ton of time. Currently researching options for PS pump. I think I'll either get one from toyota or cityracer. Please give me feedback if yall have gotten the ps pump from them.
THis was also the point where i decided I was not going to keep patching the radiator. So i got a new radiator and no more leaks. Also easy fix. THe only problem with a restoration like this is that you start doing stuff like cleaning the frame with shop rags after you drip some coolant on it. But you're ok with that or you wouldn't have done the frame off in the first place.
I went and checked on the 60 yesterday and wet sanding is in progress. I look forward to showing some updated pics .
