Because life moves fast. 137 days +/- a couple a days for the East Coasters.

You live in a industrial strip Mall

Oh my god, you caught me. I live in a metal roll door building

It’s my shop.

 

[ElviMcCoy]

Bourbon themed items are starting to pour in for the raffle. A couple custom barrel heads from Woodford and Maker’s. Folks smarter than I are working on engine swaps and air compressor installations....... ...I’m more worried about how much bourbon my 60 can haul from Michigan to Colorado.

I will definitely contribute even though i dont drink.
Parts delay have been killing me, waiting on my Fuel tank and harness and ecu.

How is the build coming?

 

[ryaneddy16]

its coming along. finishing brake lines hope fully this week. still need to do A/C system, power steering, need to build a fan shroud and body repair.

 

[Kleatus]

One of the last boxes of parts needed to finish things up is in hand. Maybe in a few weeks I can have some time to work on the poor 62 which I haven't really touched since abondoning the mad rush to get it done for SAS5. I think 2 consecutive years in the diesel FJ40 was enough for Shelley. No more excuses.

 

[Broski]

Supper happy that my Son well be flying into Durango and driving over to Ouray for a few days of trail runs with us, so excited about this !!!

Been pretty quiet in here. What is everyone doing to prepare for August? It'll be here before you know it.
Be Sure to check our growing Sponsor list for anything you may need.

[Mesa Woman]

I was thinking the same thing this morning!
Gabe is busy on the 60 getting it ready for our shake down run next month! Finger crossed, we’re gonna take it to CO.

When I get done with this month of travel for work, I will be redoing the engine and tuning all the upgrades. Then I will be focusing back on finishing up the interior.

 

[epaul]

Well, besides the boring stuff like brand new injectors, coolant change, brake fluid flush, new rotors and pads, longer brake lines, all new diff and gearbox fluids,

Got my fire extinguisher and got a locker in the front diff which also meant front axle rebuild. My truck came with electric hubs from the factory, so I’m changing out the swivel hubs, spindles, and wheel bearing hubs from a manual locking hub model.

MY TEST RUN:

Driving the 60 on 5/20/22 to Flagstaff, Az. to attend the Overland Expo 5/20-21. Then meeting a buddy & leaving 5/21 -5/27 to traverse the original Old Spanish Trail, beginning in Page, Az and across Az, Ut. & part of Nv. Off grid camping.

Should be a great test run.

 

[epaul]

Oh and I got these sweet gear shifter knobs

 

[thatcabledude]

I’m ready to drive across Texas!

Wow, Frosty!

 

[reddog90]

Already did my drip rails, oil galley plug, fresh shoes, valve adjustment and a full ignition refresh with a JimC dizzy. @mattressking is rebuilding my aisin carb which @HemiAlex will grace with his tune. I'm redoing a PO's crappy desmog job, manifold gasket, TC output seals, installing 4plus bumpers with @samc2447, will do some organizing in the back, then drive it and wait for something else to need attention.

 

[HemiAlex]

I blame the 200 for all of this.

 

[DangerNoodle]

Uh, engine, trans, tcase, and suspension swap in 3 months, easy.

You and Zac if he wants his 60 for this.
