Those are relay rod ends and you dont have a relay rod anymo ???? That rod is shorter so I assume its the drag link, those ends are not meant for that location, they do not have the movement/range needed.

Got it. I only understood what you meant after your last explanation. Thank you ,sir ! , I'll be doing that today. It's much better to do it now than to be hearing this clunk and wonder : "Where the hell is that noise coming from ?"If you still have the front springs out. I would clearance the coil spring pocket at the bottom where it meets the frame.
Post 774 picture # 5 where your guys pinky finger is resting. Lifted rigs with bigger springs are know to rub there causing a clunk when the suspension cycles.
I cut mine back flush with the frame. Just the horizontal part
Thanks for the heads up !

We realized that and I had them changed. Thanks for pointing it out !
I liked the space above the rear doors. It let just enough fresh air in while keeping most of the mosquito fog out!
We had a 60s Patrol and I had no idea that it was imported from another market. That was a very cool truck.
I was way behind on this thread and it looks like you all are making great progress! Even though I am in the US I have had to order 95% of my parts. My local parts store didn’t have fuses or fuel line, not alone other common parts. I probably didn’t have to wait as long for parts so I can imagine that being a real pain. Keep up the great work! I can’t wait to see this Cruiser on the road!!Danm there is no way I'm gonna find that stuff here..... I'm gonna have to order it and wait friking months to get it

My wife disagrees. She’d rather have the mosquitoes.
I didn’t say anything about the mosquitos themselves. I want less fog. I think that your wife and me are on the same page. She sounds like a smart person.

Broski sure knows his 80 series.... the coil springs would get caught on that lip under the spring pocket. The noise would have driven me mad especially knowing that I would have never found where it came from. Knowing me I would end up parking it and leaving it at that.
Today was a great day. We successfully performed the "Broski modification". We changed and installed the tie rod ends , we put the truck back on all 4 and threw the bed back on to see how things look. I am super super excited about where we are so far .

And some more. We also installed the hidden latches for the tailgate. We'll weld those tomorrow.

She's just saying that..... She should see the Monterey mosquitoes we have fying around here. They're the size of a pigeon..... I'm exaggerating but they are huge . She would not like these things.
This looks like a good opportunity for AI…
