Wow! I 'think' my 60 is fully ready for my drive from the Eastern Sierra & on to Ouray and our 1st annual SAS. (Moab on the way out) but I can't believe the string of repairs I've had to do in the last 30 days. The only positive is that it's best to do this stuff in the driveway and not on the trail. I think in chronological order this is what I've had to do...most of this stuff is the result of recent trail damage...so, mostly my own fault:
1) ruined one BFG mud that had 5k on it. Bought a new tire.
2) tire guy wouldn't repair the 2nd damaged MUD...I plugged it. It's been good for 4 weeks now.
3) had to remove my pulley on my brand new Saginaw pump because I installed it backwards and the pulleys weren't quite lining up. Ruined the pulley in the process...had to buy a new one.
4) the new belt that came with the new pump...was not new. Failed on a trail...made trail repair with spare belt. Had to buy a new thin belt that fits the Sag pulley.
5) OEM low pressure hose on Saginaw pump started a bad leak, abrasive wear from 30 year old OEM bracket...another trail repair.
6) replaced broken motor mount, broken tranny mount and one broken leaf spring u-bolt...all from Kurt @ Cruiser Outfitters. About 3 years ago 3 of us went DOWN a scary trail. No issues...but scary. At the time, we said maybe someday we should try to go back UP this trail. We did...not a good idea for me.
I keep telling my friends that it's great that I'm mostly fixing this stuff in my driveway...they just look at me, smile and say...sure, sure, John. The wife says I can't take the 60 out of the driveway until I leave for SAS. Time will tell, but I think I'm ready.
