ARGH......................
scratch the disc swap.....the brackets from my 40 don't fit the 60 rear axle and I have to open up the ID of the rotors again....
screw it, I am gonna tighten up the drum stuff and move on for now.....muuuuahhahahahahahahahahahahhaaaa
The harnesses are ready to go in the rear seat.
Exhaust nuts have been soaking in Kroil all week.
Funny the ROTW finds my rig parked for a much needed refresher.
Screw it, the beer is cold, tunes are righteous and most of parts are here.

Love how you've kept the hight reasonable. Many SOA seam to be a bit tall and tipsy. If I ever get seriorus about lifting mine, you've got me rethinking OME SUA.
Great pics, man. How I love the Pacific Ocean!! That was an awesome weekend.
Next time I'm packing the damn map so we can do some trails.
Paragon?
You're at Paragon? Are you in Indy or Pierceton? I'm in Warsaw...at one of the Ortho companies. About 6 months ago, I finished up a case project with Paragon (Pierceton)...it went better than great and it opened up a hopefully long relationship between our companies. If you see a white FJ60...thats me! I'll be waving "Hi" like a fool.
...I've lived in Indiana my whole life. Even so, I can definitely see why it seems inferior to Oregon, or Washington, or Montana, or Wyoming, or Texas, or Utah, or Virginia, or Maine, or........

Coming up on three years as my daily driver.
42.375" headlight center to ground measurement.
I am commuting to Bloomington,IN on a regular basis now.
Averaging about 16-18 MPG.
With the K&N filter drawing in clean cold air through the snorkel, windows up and tires @ 50psi cold, this thing is as close to perfect as I can ask.
Sixties RULE!!!!

Cruising along....
I found that rotating the head of the snorkel 180 degrees, I get 340 miles per tank, rather than about 275-290 miles.
Driving easily on interstates and county roads keeping it under 2500 rpm, this mileage is repeatable weekly.
De-vaned my smog pump about three weeks ago and removed the 25mm or so brittle lines from the backside of the smog pump has made the truck very responsive to start up and low rpm city driving.
It is a very docile truck, and my favorite of all the vehicles I have ever owned.
Currently researching a repower approach and considering a diesel repower from a Toyota in the next year or so. Til then I will continue to flog this 2F 4 speed daily.

You rotated the head of the snorkle so it faces back or to the side?

I rotated it 180 degrees so the opening faces rearward.
