Wow Cam! Was that a kit or all from the Mosely mind?
Very nice.

I'd trade "skills" with you any day.
Thanks! It's all from a kit. The Mosley mind didn't see much it could do to improve the design (and cutting big pieces with an angle grinder gets old fast), so I was happy to pay the extra bucks.
The finished product...
There's not much room between the hatch and the spare. I'll have to rework this or add a spacer to fit a wider tire and/or an 80 series wheel. My current spare is a 33x9.5. (Still going strong Chris!)

Nice work! Looks good.
Next up in the "Go Medium or Go Home" build...
Front locker, longs (in case I have to call upon all 120 ponies at the same time), and this monster compressor from ARB.
The party starts Friday after work..

I love a properly built FJ60

Look out! Superset and ARB!
Do you have to utilize the separate ARB manifold to use the twin compressor with the lockers? I was looking into that recently, but didn't fully understand the requirements.
Sí señor. It just has a single output.
My old arb compressor took a dump, and I thought this would be plug & play. Boy was I wrong. I have to re-run the wiring harness. I probably could tap into the old, but I don't have time to figure it out. It will be fun trying to carve out some real estate for this guy.
Bumper looks good. Now ya gonna have to paint the truck to make the truck look as good as the bumper
; )
; )
I'll just dirty up the bumper!
Aight, so I've got the long side torn down, and the longfield w/ the shaft attached slides right in and spins with no grinding. I put the spindle on and turned it at an angle and tried to spin the axle. Other than the new birf being really tight (and being hard to spin by hand when turned), it doesn't seem to be binding or hitting anything. This means I don't need to grind anything, right? Anybody know?

Btw, the new marlin seals rock! It's been a couple years since I put them in and there was not a drop of gear oil in the knuckle. Crossing my fingers that the other side is the same way.
I'm sure one of the 'it thunders when he types' guys will chime in here, but, based on what I've read, the longfield (or any of the newer shorter birfs) knuckle clearance issues were related to the pre '79 40's with the longer stock birfs and small pattern knuckles. The inner bells on the axle tubes have to be clearanced a bit for these shorter but larger diameter birfs.
Hope that helps and that's what you were referring to.
Good enough for me!
Both sides out & test fitted. Now to swap diffs.
