Slippery slope 60 with LM7

[Lucky1386]

So been at it pretty diligently lately. Of course everything takes longer than expected.
Got the front diff all together and suspension on the front. Just need to mount steering box, track bar and drag link. I didn't realize that I had to cut the rcv axle splines to fit the locking hubs but wasn't a big deal just something I wish knew sooner so I could have done it out of the axle. I had to use a skinnier snap ring to fit in the groove between the hub and axle, don't remember the part number off the top of my head but I found it here on the forum using search.

Some pics for proof...

With guidance from @orangefj45 and @dbbowen got it all together.

So roof was deemed unusable and gutters were absolute trash. I went on a mission to find a roof and was lucky to find one local to me once again from @orangefj45. I went over to Stockton early in the am and valley hybrids crew helped me get the rig in a position to cut off the roof, cut it off in a bout an hr and had it on my trailer. Super straight roof with good gutters.

Problem was had to figure out how to get if to flagstaff to @kelly saad , the freight to get it there would have been pretty costly. Georg then put me in contact with an amazing freight company called If it fits on my roof it ships.... @ofer bruhis Really helped out and was able to get the roof to Kelly in flagstaff. I was freaking out the roof would fly off on the way there or make it impossible for Ofers troopy to go uphill because it has that weak diesel motor he never stops talking about but all went off with out a hitch....LOL Thank you mucho amigo!!

And delivered with out an issue!! How many of you can say your roof has traveled on a Troopy?

We’re definitely an interesting bunch, right?!

So stoked that it all worked out the way it did.

Ofer …… what can you say about that it; he’s a fantastic human being, as is the rest of his family.

Yeah that's what it feels like. Never thought it would get this deep but it's like might as well once you are in there.

Your frame looks great! When you’re all done it’ll be like new. You gonna dd the 60 and keep the 4Runner for wheeling? Very nice 4Runner btw. Keep up the good work man it’s gonna be nice!

I sold the 4 runner... Wish I wouldn't have but honestly too many mouths to feed. The 60 will be the do it all rig. I have every intention of using the s*** out of it. From dd'ing to wheeling it.

More pics came from @kelly saad today, still going backwards but technically its forwards...I think.

Anyone have any pics of a 60 painted in Toyota quicksand, or Toyota Terra? I am waffling on colors right now, too many good choices and it's driving me nuts.
