Now I will try this setup and develop from here. I stille need some lamps for the licens plate and I am considering a safety pin in the setup for the swing arm. Also some minor improvements is on the way. After all those adjustment is is going to be sandblasted and painted properly by a pro. This is just spray from a can.

I think the safety catch is necessary. It would be terrible to have it open while on the highway. I like the design.
 
You have my dream cruiser.
 
We have been on several trips the last couple of days. It just performance - that is sweet! Still need some minor fixes - next weekend it will have the new clutch and bearing. The bearing is "killing" me - it makes a terrible sound without pressure :)

Do you get a lot of attention driving that thing?
 
Not to much and not ad much as we did in my old HJ45 Troopy - that was crazy 😅
I think that’s crazy….. no body thinks my FJ62 is cool in my small town.

Hi, what an amazing build you have done, looks fantastic👍👍. I noticed you ditched the running boards , are you going to use them, if not would you consider selling them? Need a set for my HJ61, ?

Hi Frank Thank you very much. I have put in a order for ARB running boards 6 months ago and have seen them yet :/ :) I honestly don't know if they will come. When and if I receive them I will consider selling the genuine running boards
 
Perfect, thank you.
When you get a chance, could you send me the dimensions of the boards , specifically the width? I have a set of 80 boards that I was considering fitting, with the usual bracket modifications. However , they seem narrow, not much board showing to step on if fitted snug to the frame. Be interested to know what width the genuine boards are compared to the 80?

Kept up the good work
All the best 👍👍
Frank 👍👍
 
Today I finally change the clutch! The reason is a freakin noisy sound driving. It stopped when clutch was engaged. So I went for it! It was in great shape, but the bearing in the crankshaft was toast. Now it sounds like a traktor without a very high tone :) that's is just lovely. Found a faulty rear tranny mount - I need to order a new.

Last brackets made for the alubox. Also got the ARB awning brackets. Unfortunately the ARB black alubox awnings are still on their way from the dealership. They will not be here before the summer holiday, so the dealership got me a couple of awnings for free use - great service! I also got the Safari Snorkel mounted. Soon we will be ready for a trip to Norway :)
