Build AK HJ-75

[OGBeno]

Front spring seats are the same as an FJ60. New ones appear to be Gone Johnson. I believe aftermarket HD pieces may be out there.

Just doubled checked these today sir:

48048-60021 and 48049-60021 are both **barely** still available (Class code: F3)

No US stock however.

Correct. I don't see any.

Got the replacement U bolt holder thingies in. These are from Beno's recommendations
Old style and new style.

 

[coldtaco]

New style flip style

 

[OGBeno]

Much better. Dave @lcwizard makes great stuff: functional, well-thought out and easy to use. I'm running front and rear on my 70 and just absolutely love them.

 

[coldtaco]

Here are just some different pics of the new style

 

[coldtaco]

Gonna probably do rears at a later time

Those U-Bolt flips are excellent from @lcwizard - I got them for my 60, good solid product!

 

[coldtaco]

Well, idle hands and left over parts makes for more work
Never liked the joint of the two piece factory snorkle, so with left over 3in exhaust pipe I built a new snorkle. I will say that the joint of the factory snorkle does seem to have a pretty good area size if you measure the size of the hole. So, no idea if I improved flow or not by getting rid of this joint.

What are your plans for the factory snorkel?

That u bolt flip looks great defiantly on my list, nice to see the before and after shots of the project.

This truck just keeps getting better!

I would like to check out your snorkel that looks pretty good. What did you do with your old springs?

Haven't done anything with the old springs yet.

 

[coldtaco]

I thought someone asked about clearances of the u-bolt to frame.

I wish he made them for the BJ74 rear axle with difflock.........

Just a note about what I find is a neat feature of the Dobinson greasable shackle pins. These zirk fittings are protected by a big nut

 

[cruiserpilot]

Interesting, do they provide a cap to cover the hole? Cool idea, but I'm thinking IH8MUD
has a place here. I'd even use those grease fitting caps there if I had those.

 

[coldtaco]

no covers, I suppose a resourceful person might be able to come up with covers.
