Nice, is that tape over the vent? Keep the AK cold out?

For some reason this cab seems a lot more drafty than I remember the 70 being, that I had. So, yeah it's to try and reduce the draft, don't know if it really helps or not.

Does the roof come off that truck? I just noticed that black line of trim.

Hello,

The top does come off. Makes a nice ride in summer.

Today's project.

Kinda risking it with them sandals and all that heavy metal......

 

[coldtaco]

Finally done. Found the front UBolt/spring holder thingy in need of replacing.
Crack in the one and excessive rust on the other

 

[coldtaco]

Rear end came down a little, the front came up some. Supposed to be a 2in./50mm lift. The rear is just about level and the front is also almost level.

Try things picture, measurements taken from floor to bottom of fender centered with tire/wheel.

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.

I would contact @lcwizard immediately and get his serious beef action spring perches and ubolts. Get the reversal kit. SO WORTH IT.

My toes tingle when I read things like that. I seem to remember dropping one on my foot somehow.

That's a nice kit Coldtaco,I know you will like the ride once it softens up.

On both my 75 series ,the draught came in from around the doors. The cab chassis was a little worse than the troopy. The 73 series seemed to be the best of the 3.
I just put it down to having room to flex. Go for a ride in a LR defender and get back in the 75 series, it will feel like you are wrapped in luxury

I did a google search and found numerous lower 48 Toyota dealers with these in stock, or at least listed. Ordered the ones from lcwizard.
