Brother, keep it parked

Not worth the risk of tearing it up or getting hurt over. Bring the 60 and have fun. I think you would be Worried about something happening.

Hmm well I guess you better get to work on that frame repair or at least a patch job if that is possible. Let me if you need help. Is it the rear frame? We could unbolt the body bolts and hoist the rear tub with my engine hoist.

I think if you were to take that ARB bumper off and sell it to me, I think it would make the tires look not so big. Yup, pretty sure the ARB bumper is the problem.

 

[kling-on]

Nice try brother... If I take it off I'd keep it for the nexted one

Lol doesn't hurt to try. The tires do look really wide especially on the rear quarter panels. Easy solution... Fender flares...

 

[kling-on]

But then I'll have to flip the rears and run TJ flairs with 35

Small victory I did have to open the holes they were off by a few mm. Going to drive it to work tomarrow and see how it rides... And maybe install the snorkel.

Nice, piece by piece!

I'm going to go pick up a hole saw tomorrow. I'll try to zip thru my apron tomorrow afternoon and get it to you unless you already picked one up.

What's the deal with the Safari snorkel top? If you don't want your top spin, I'll take it. I hope that part is there tomorrow for the carb but if not, no big deal. I'm planning on slaving away on the cruiser the next few days to get it wrapped up.

By any chance can you guys get tail gate hinges? Like Jeep hinges? My aftermarket tailgate will not mount unless I make some spacers where the hinge mounts to the body.

I want use both, safari is a big scoop I hope it works for street and the spin top for the trail. Ya we have hinges come by tomarrow and we can look at some... In pics any way I have been thinking of using them to convert my alum gate into a drop down .... But that's way down the road

[Sully73FJ40]

Yea, that's what I need. For some reason the guy that sold me the tailgate said the hinges that came with it which appear to be barn door hinges work and that's how it was mounted. However I don't see how it worked considering that the part that mounts to rear sill has a half inch gap between the hinge and the panel.

Drove to to work today ... Felt great to drive love the rattle of the 3B
