It was nice to meet you the wife and the "Kids" :). Did you find out what happened to your rig and what did you do to get 'er home?

I had two seperate problems caused by a third problem.

The first problem was a leaking power steering pump. I swapped it out friday night.

Saturday morning I steam cleaned the engine compartment to get all the power steering fluid off of everything. We left immediately after that.

Well when I washed everything some of the hot water and oil film became trapped in the EGR hose insulation that goes from the exhaust pipe to the EGR valve. This smoldered or caught fire and burned the hose up.

The smog pump vanes broke and seized the pump up. I have a feeling that I ran the leaking power steering pump a little too long. I had a trail spare with me so it was no problem.

I used the hose from the EGR to the air filter to make a new hose. I capped the nipples using a shop rag and zip ties.

Made it home no problem.
 
cool rig

nice set up you got there,same color as mine.except mine a bit faded in the roof and hood,still waiting on some parts to come in for some upgrade. john
 
Hmmm sounds like there are a few of us. I'm thinking....the first annual 'Cruise with the Big Dogs'. Location: D'animal's backyard.
When: TBD

What y'all think?
 
Awesome job Danimal!
Looks like youre ready for ANYTHING that could come up!
I really dig all the provisions for fuel!
Have you had that thing off camber yet?
Just curious as to what that feels like with the weight on top.
Im sure its very stable though!

I have had it on all the trails in my back yard except the Pit at the top of one of the hills. I start sweating and the seat cover disappears at 35% off camber. :eek:

I still have the front sway bar but I'm installing the rear sway bar off my 62 this weekend. :D
 
Seems I recall you writing you were only home on weekends.
You are one productive dude.

Good looking rig. You make me sick, but still, good looking rig, hehe.
 
Permanant fixed all the stuff last night and took off the trail repairs.

How hard have you beat those sliders? I tend to put the entire rig on them. Will they hold assuming a good welding job? What thickness are yours? What seats are those?

The sliders are the 67" Marlin Crawlers ($170.00).

I put the entire vehicle on them. I actually broke one off on the Strawberry Lake Trail east of Fresno. The slider was fine, it was my bad weld that broke.
 
What seats do you have in it? Thanks
 
Who makes the roof rack? I have a crap load of mods I need to do, but that will have to wait till I get home.
I've been to 2 SNT's with the wife and dog, but missed this years on account of me being out of the country. Well maybe next year.
Love your 60.
 
Well... I think it's time for the first anual winnie roast and crawl-a-long over at d'animals proving grounds.... did you hear that Toyota...;) heck, i bet that it could be used by toyota of america, after its designed and built by fellow mudders, to show off the capabilities of the land cruisers that are up and comming.... LOL! And to really top of the cake, we could run a grover... i mean rover through there just for laughs.....:lol:

We have had the TLCA Central Valley Crawlers over two months ago. I think it was a dozen or so rigs. In April I had Lock and Low over but nobody wanted to wheel.

Twice a Year we do a fun run in combination with the vehicle inspection and safety meeting / potluck / bar b que / fishing contest/ volley ball game / horse shoe throwing competition.
