Yeah I'm sad neither Georg or Kurt knew this.

What didn’t we know?? You didn’t order an FJ80 3F/H150 kit from us that I can see. I am very aware it uses a 10 spline disc, that's why our kit (CL3F9092KIT) comes with a CL60270 (10x29) spline disc and CLAT10SPL 10 spline alignment tool. What am I missing?

While the 31250-60270 clutch disc is similar to the 31250-36343 (and the many discs that supersede to the 36343) that is found in the AISIN kit as a DT-075, they are not the exact same and we don't consider them a supersession. The cover and pilot bearing are the same, the t/o bearing (our part# CL36161) of course very different, no surprises there.




I'm back in the shop today and we are out of stock on the CL60270. That is what I'm assuming you were told by our parts team. When you and I briefly talked about why you had to order parts from overseas... I was in Southern Utah with the Outlaws crew (and Robbie A) from Rising Sun doing Cruiser stuff!

Dunno. Jason made that call and was told 6 weeks for a clutch disc. All good. It's getting a 2F 10 spline disc. The $350 one I ordered from partsouq was wrong.

And that is factual. It's not that we didn't know something, rather we are out of stock on the correct application disc.

I'm confident/hopeful we didn't tell you to order the wrong one from Partsouq? What number did you order?


Our CL3F9092KIT kit contents for transparency:
1 x CL60270 - Clutch Disc
1 x CL36330 - Clutch Cover
1 x CL36161 - Clutch T/O Bearing
1 x CL15004 - Clutch Pilot Bearing
1 x CLAT10SPL - Clutch Alignment Tool
 
No, Partsouq was out of the proper disc as well and we tried an alternative/supersede part number that turned out to be wrong. Only thing I was saying is that no one except Matt knew it was "basically" the same as an H42 disc. He made that comment after I had parts in the air. You don't pay your guys to recommend "basically" the same. Don't blame you.

Which disc did you get? If it's not one you'll use and something we stock OEM, perhaps we can snatch it.
 
It's back......better than ever.

Dents are fixed. LRA tank installed. ARB front bumper. Baja Design lights.

New Nomad 40 series wheels with 255/80-17 Mickey Thompson ATs. Awesome size. 35x11

Still sitting nice on the same suspension as before even with the extra weight.

Super stoked to get this thing out on the trails again.

I was just at Jason’s and didn’t see it there. I wondered if it went home.

Also shouldn’t have went to see that Weed 40. It’s pimp. Seats are perfect in it. Now I want a set even more so.

This topic is much on my mind lately. I am doing a 105 with barn doors currently and a higher quality body shop is indicating that they would prefer replacement parts including passenger front fender and the big side barn doors.

I though they were making a bit much of it but in talking to a couple of friends who supply parts or redo 100 series as their business they indicated agreement that it would be better long term to try to get a better replacement door, citing stretching of 100 series skins with application of heat or even of panel beating.

@REKCUT is something like this what you were alluding to above? Trying to educate myself as much as possible. I can get a good quality set of replacement barn doors for about 1K USD, inclusive of interior trim, but well... that's a fair amount of loose change. Bare front fender I can get for about 100 USD so not a drama on that.

Most bodyshop of size make their money off of insurance and part replacement. It's just easier and quicker to do replacement doors and fenders. They time techs want and complain about are difficult to get because of time and skill. Resto shop are different, but most shops I'm in won't even do a total repaint. Take to much time. In the end they know almost exactly how long a replacement takes vs a repair. You can easily end up with a bigger bill and not as good a job on a repair vs a replace
