1st Land Cruiser

[cyberfalco]

Tony Calkins from Arkansas Crawlers here. I know some of you from Superlift runs and hanging out at KOH this year. I just bought myself a 87 FJ60. I thought I would pop on here and say, hey!

 

[Jordan7118]

Ah, yeah! Welcome to the madness, Tony!!!

 

[wct49]

welcome.

 

[Bossman]

Awesome! Great to have you Tony! Tell us more about your plans for the rig!

 

[jrob]

What's up Tony. welcome!

 

[Bomar]

Glad to see more 60s....my favorite series

 

[lenross1]

definitely like the to see peeps driving/building/wheeling the 60 series. Don't see too many anymore.

Hey Tony, not sure I have ever met you in person or not, but look forward to seeing you at the Ramble. Head on over to the Razorback Land Cruiser page and introduce yourself and post your picture. We are starting to get a nice little group of 60's...

 

[Bodean]

Good deal Tony! Glad you saw the light! See ya soon!

 

[cyberfalco]

I plan on putting a winch and some rock sliders and taking it out on the trail as is. See what needs help and fixing it.

 

[cyberfalco]

I found some 33x10.5" tires, a rear bumper and rear quarter sliders, and took off the carb to send to JimC tomorrow. I am going to do a rebuild on the front axle and a brake job while I am waiting for the carb to return.

Love it. You may need to add-a-leaf to your stock springs for those 33's until you can afford a lift.

Here is mine with those tires and 2.5" OME lift

 

[cyberfalco]

Cool stuff. The idea is to mount them and decide what I want to do for lift. Maybe come across some used lift springs in the meantime.

 

[wngrog]

My first 60, I just did an add a leaf. Rode rough but cleared 33's

 

[cyberfalco]

Mounted a 33" on the stock wheel.

 

[cyberfalco]

If anyone has any lift springs they would like to get rid of or some sliders let me know. I've already sourced some used bumpers and quarter panel sliders and I will be using one of my refurbished 8274 winches.

 

[cyberfalco]

JimC cashed my carb rebuild check so I assume he has received it.

 

[cyberfalco]

Carb will be here tomorrow.

 

[cyberfalco]

Steven White is buildings some rocker sliders and I have the tires, front bumper, and winch mounted.
