Dayummm .... gotta call the IT guy to replace the keyboard on my pc that shorted out from the drool ...

That is one sweet ride. I am jealous of the skills it takes to pull this off.

What muffler you running again? And did you put on catalytic converters?

Sounds and looks great! Well, it would benefit from a square to round headlamp conversion.

Gary, can you show some pics of how you deleted the abs? Did you cap the sensor area? What about piping, did you have any tricks of how to do it best?

 

[Devils Paw 80]

Fantastic. I'd like to see more pics, maybe one with it next to another Cruiser of any vintage.

Simple. I left the sensors in their spots, pulled all wiring, plumbing, electrical that was associated, and ran new brake lines from the front and rear up to the 80 master. Once you get rid of all the extra plumbing and such, you will find that you have some killer brakes hidden in there.

Gary,

Another most excellent build. I expect nothing, but the highest quality work!

The sensors are worth money. I pulled mine out and they're sitting around. I had the idea of using them and the (unused in my case) ebrakes in a home-made ATRAC setup. Kinda dumb since it has an e-locker, but the journey is the destination.

Well....sad news.....Our Cruiser gave its life for ours on its first day out on the road. An 85 year old man hit the gas instead of the brake at a left turn lane and hit us almost head on. I saw him and had slowed some just in case, and he had come to a complete stop, but right at the worst time for us he hit the gas. I turned away from him to absorb as much of the impact as possible, but we hit him and flipped in the middle of the intersection. My daughter and dog were in the truck and all of us walked away with some bumps and bruises. I dont have any idea of the condition of the truck other than its done. 1200 hours of time all gone in 3 seconds. Ill keep MUD posted as I'm sure this will lead to an interesting turn of events.

Gary - Sorry for your loss, but glad the family is ok. The good die young...
