It's an old build date but it has lived on the garage floor most of it's life on a hitch carrier. It went on when duck season opened and came off when it ended. I'll get some pictures, that's a trade I can work with.

Sounds like a plan.
Working on an rear arb install and diff rebuild. Unluckily, mine is the older shim style instead of the crush sleeve. Hoping the stock shims work for the preload.
I hate scraping gaskets for the record. Still need to do the axle housing.

Everything was stock including the Toyota shim so I don’t think anyone else has been in it. Found some others talking about similar find on similar years on here as well so I don’t know what that is all about. I have the 1985 fsm and 1980 fsm so the earlier one works.
I would recommend RTV and the paper gasket from 3rd to housing. The paper ones only love to leak.
Also, I love how you jump into these things Bob. You are not scared of anything
Ha thanks. Learning to do this stuff is half of the fun.
The rebuild kit came with silicone only. I wondered what others used. I’ll have to get some paper ones on order then.
RTV only 3rd to housing is fine.
I use the cork alone on the cover. Never have problems
Can you do a solid spacer and shim for preload? Anytime I'm in a third I try to swap in a solid spacer. Lots easier to dial in pinion than a crush sleeve... Sounds like that may be what your dealing with anyway, or something similar. Plus makes pinion seal changes much more forgiving in the future.
Folks seems to really like the solid spacers for sure. Based off what I read and one of the mechanics from cruiser brothers today, I should just build it to the earlier fsm specs.
To my limited knowledge, it looks like this functions similar to a solid spacer setup.
Awesome...no fear here.
I agree with Nolen...don’t worry about the paper gasket, RTV only is fine.

Been fiddling with the ARB bumper this morning trying to get it aligned.
I’ve run into an issue that’s annoying me. The bumper sits about 1/4” closer on the passenger side than it does on the driver side. You wouldn’t never notice it if it wasn’t for the headlight washers.
Passenger side gap
Driver side gap
Is there any tricks to getting these aligned? Probably just gonna ditch the washers and then you’d never see the difference.

Elongate the bolt holes with a die grinder.
Clutchee
I'm fun sized!
1/4” leave it, and enjoy......

agreed!
Of course you would
Finished up the install. I had to elongate the bolt holes but it’s within an 1/16 of an inch of straight now.
The KC LED daylighters look like they were made for the arb on a 60 imo.
