What PS filter is that? It is recommended on all pumps? I'm running the Saginaw right now. Thanks!

It adds capacity and filters. Not sure how it can hurt for $26

Does not look like my spring kit for the parking brake will make it but that’s the beauty of a full float. I’ll get the axle in and it’s easy to pop the hub off when the parts arrive.

Separated after all these years but she got an upgrade.

I’m waiting on $5 worth of parts where I can build the ebrake on the passenger side. FedEx said Friday. Now Sunday. Likely Monday

Who am I kidding. I had to see it too

 

[4runner2FJ60]

Oh man!!! That looks great, thank you for sharing. Now I am thinking 80s axles again.....

 

[tmxmotorsports]

That vice and stand tho damn beffy

 

[wngrog]

I got the 60 cable to work on the 80 axle. Rewelded a tab where the drivers side was axle to connect direct to the ebrake. I may have been able to keep the 80 one but I cut it off not thinking.

The top. I just had to do a 45* bracket and drill 4 holes

On the passenger side I was able to use two small links to connect the cable to the other bell crank.

Tom Woods made me a new rear shaft. Hopefully it will be OK with the new compound angle. Down and over. It
Should be long enough that it will be fine ….. the 80 axle is more centered than the 60

Last, I’m stoked my skid plate still fits with the H55.

Slapped some brand new loaded calipers via @cruiseroutfit on the front.

Then started stripping, cleaning, painting

Build back with some Koito H4. Loved the light my CR lights made but can’t stand the looks of LEDs on a classic

Then this. No telling how long this has been in a box in Yemen. The grill has a spot where a Yemenis mouse got a taste but I love the color.

 

[Dekeman]

With you on the LEDs. Have same ones from CR. How bright are the Koitos?

 

[wngrog]

They are not as bright as the LED. They are good and you can monkey around with the bulbs. I did a test if 4 different bulbs in one of my build threads. Ended up back with the ones Toyota sends.

Went back with an 8274. It’s been needing this but I had to pull the bumper to fit it. The light tabs have to be removed. The new grill looks amazing. Waiting on my Factor 55 offset fairlead and hook and that end will be done

 

[wngrog]

Pic dump. Went and confirmed my Eaton Elockers work. Brakes are all dragging some. All 4 calipers which is odd. Maybe I just need to wear them in. I did my brake burn in and it will lock up all 4 tires on the street which is impressive. I did not replace the 60 series master and with the stock proportion valve it’s sending nice even pressure to all 4 wheels.

 

[HemiAlex]

Needs the 80 series non abs disc/disc master.

 

[HemiAlex]

This is the one.

 

[wngrog]

Needs the 80 series non abs disc/disc master.

What part of “it stops perfect” and “it locks up all 4 evenly” makes you think I should replace the 60 master?

I was expecting to and I have one of those here to do it but it stops great with the 60 master and the stock proportion valve.

 

[HemiAlex]

Nothing. You’re right.
