Builds Short E 70 - Tilda Bogue Service Station (2 Viewers)

Maybe I missed this about the rig, but what’s your goal/purpose for this rig? (Not that you need one)

I see you have the oddball for trips and
Wheeling. Is this your new daily and run around? Planning trips with it or mainly a short run hauler?

 

[wngrog]

Daily driver and off road truck where I don’t need the lockers and suspension that the oddball has.

Plus I have always wanted one. Way back at the turn of thr century I did Golden Spike in Moab with a Canadian BJ70. Wanted one ever since

Thanks @wct49 for the alignment.

Adding the drawers and loading them down really took the chop out of the ride.

I have a little more weight to add to it and it’s really going to be a super smooth ride with the Dobinsons IMS.

Starting to sound like a paid promotional….

The beauty is that I’m not a dealer so I’m giving you the straight dope.

Oh I know you aren’t, you have been tempting me to upgrade for awhile now. Just reminded me of those adds with tons of disclaimer side effects.

Had to go move the dozer so I opted for the 70 over the Can Am

@wngrog , you meant "Golden Crack" on the Golden Spike trail

Short E got the rear shims and the Tom Woods double cardan shaft today.

5* shims

Also, my passenger side was sitting high so I took the bottom tiny leaf out and put it on the top. Made my own leveling kit and it worked beautifully

Here is the shaft in place. Not at rest. The way this truck rides the 2 post lift it’s tilted down.

Here is is on the ground.

I took it for a spin and all the “take off” vibrations are gone. Kinda felt like a warped flywheel is the way I can describe it. It’s all gone now. Butter smooth.

Hey that was my Group Didn't that 100 have a LS or something in it ?

 

[wngrog]

Just full on adding crap for the fun of it. Quick Fists are old school cool for hanging tools.

Hope I never need any of this stuff.

There is a cooler in all my daily drivers so I can get popsicles for Red home from Kroger this time of the year

Picked up ShortE after a stereo install. Love the door pods. Decided to do double din and some 6x9 in the rear.

Before I go reinventing the wheel…

Does anyone make a fender blanket that is fitted for the 70 rear fender?

I’ve put sound deading in the floors, doors and sides and this is my last obstacle.

I can put down dynamat but then I would have to cover it

Thoughts?

I'll bet a 76 series' wheelhouse covers will fit near perfectly. There are OEM vinyl and carpet options, mostly in bluish grey but brown is an option too for ME production.

Nolan they were available on the LX and the STD version. Not sure what year this 70 is but this data is from a '96 LX model.

62613F	COVER, QUARTER WHEEL HOUSE, RH
62613-60320-03	BLUISH GRAY, TRIM1*	1
62613-60320-E0	OAK, TRIM4*	1
62614E	COVER, QUARTER WHEEL HOUSE, LH
62614-90K03-03	SHADOW GRAY, TRIM1*	1
62614-90K03-E0	OAK, TRIM4*

A one minute google search shows this ebay ad. No idea if it's actually available.

62614-90K03-03 Toyota Carpet, rear wheel house, lh 6261490K0303, New Genuine OEM | eBay

New and genuine OEM part. If during the using there will be any difficulties, we will be happy to assist you individually.

These are the part numbers for the STD model:

62613F	COVER, QUARTER WHEEL HOUSE, RH
62613-60290-03	BLUISH GRAY, TRIM1*	1
62613-60290-E0	OAK, TRIM4*	1
62614E	COVER, QUARTER WHEEL HOUSE, LH
62614-90K00-03	SHADOW GRAY, TRIM1*	1
62614-90K00-E2	OAK, TRIM4*

Interesting side note. When I was searching the data base, there were no GCC LX models shown, only STD versions. I had to widen the search to other countries with LHD to find an LX. Below is the only GCC version I could find.

VIN*	Model code	From	To	Frame		Characteristics
JTB21UJ70..	FZJ70LV-MRUV	05/1993 -	07/1999	FZJ70		STD	GCC	HT	LHD	1FZF	CBR	MTM	5F	CBU

Help me out here, I don’t know how to string those above part numbers into something searchable.
