Builds Back in a 60 series - 1HZ Swap

Picked these up today after my son's Texas A&M campus visit. Got them for cheap off of Craigslist. My wife and son were giving me grief about more car parts.

 

[Mr Cimarron]

Those are some of my favorite wheels. Nice score.

Can you run those w/o a spacer? I’ve got a set of 315/75R16 Toyo MTs in the backyard if you can use them, decent tread but older. Free if you come get

 

[davegonz]

I'll need spacers in the front unfortunately. Send me some pics. 315's are big!

 

[Mr Cimarron]

Are those 7” wide wheels? If so certain tire places, like Discount Tire, will not mount a 35” tire on them. They told me it had to be 7.5” wheel. This was the Ben White location i talk to. I’m sure the many east side tire places would mount them no problem.

 

[davegonz]

I'll check the rim in a bit.

 

[davegonz]

Tucker, thanks for the offer, but those might be too big for my 2" lift. They'll probably rub big time too.

 

[tucker74]

I was going to go to 16” on the 40 then I scored those widened wheels. Here’s one mounted up on a 16” smoothie, was going to do all originally. They’re big ...

 

[davegonz]

Thanks, but they'll be too big.

I was out of town this week visiting family in Houston and just got back this evening. I decided to wire up my glow plug button tonight. Feels good getting back to work on the stinky 60. The button I'm using is a small momentary button with a red LED that turns on when pressed. I used an existing hole that I opened up a bit to fit the button body through. Works great.

 

[davegonz]

The button is wired to a relay under the hood that sends power to the glow plugs.

Here's the info on the pushbutton:

Got the new Hella Supertone horns working. Couldn't figured out why they weren't working. Turns out the damn spring pin on the steering column was worn down and not making contact.

 

[davegonz]

I also painted the headlight buckets and the grill. Looks a little better.

 

[davegonz]

Got the ARB back on. I need to wire up the winch. I think I'm going to have to install an auxilliary power terminal/block. I have way too many things on the positive terminal of the battery.

I just realized that the turn signals are upside down.

Drove up to Waco to meet up with @atnolan94 . He sold me a set of five BFG AT's that will go on my Tundra 16" steelies. Thanks again for meeting me halfway, Andrew!

Anyway, I got the tires mounted this afternoon, just haven't installed them yet. Probably start on that tonight.

These things are massive and my back says they're heavy, too.

 

[davegonz]

Every time I describe this truck to people, I start by saying it is crusty but cool. So when I saw @Mr Cimarron 's Krusty sticker, I just had to get one (more like a couple). So, my truck's new name is Crusty Cruiser. Also, I love the Good Enough motto.

 

[atnolan94]

Those 285s will be the perfect size!!

 

[davegonz]

Yep!
