weak-link's 60 bulid

[freds40]

We figured since we were at it we would get the hubs all cleaned up too.

I had some caution red paint in my work truck we used on the dial. Looks pretty good.

 

[freds40]

Putting them back together.

 

[freds40]

more.

 

[freds40]

Went with a Mini truck pitman. Already reamed for the FJ-80 TRE and it's about 1" flatter than the 60 arm.

Front housing back in.

4.88 third with ARB built by Rocky and Marlin.

Finished dhot of the refurbed hubs.

 

[freds40]

Knuckles cleaned up.

The lucky soul hefting in the chunk.

Stock birf on left, new UM06 on right.

 

[freds40]

Knuckles rebuilt with new bearings and all.

Marlin's arms.

And the Martack. This brought our night to an end. It's been a few years since Idid this on my old mini truck and we didn't get it back far enough. It needs to be about 1/2" further in. DO NOT USE THIS PIC AS A REFERENCE FOR A MARTACK.

Anyway it's the general idea of the Martack. I'll grind the old tack out, remeasure, and re-tack. We figured @ midnight that this was a good stopping point.

 

[freds40]

Man, that's a lot of pics for one night. I need to take the camera away from that boy.

 

[weak-link]

[D'Animal]

Dan, can you get the two bolts out?

Yes

Was the third in when you welded the pass perch?

Yes.

It has alll came apart since then. The new third will be installed with the same setup yours has. ARB 4:88's

yup. I popped by for a few hours. Ended up running around to jump start Dozer and then Stephen and I talked strategy a bit.

Wedding go well?

 

[kling-on]

[weak-link]

Yes.

the only reason I asked was because I had to trim the rear ear to get the third out.

 

[weak-link]

Those are the wrong hub locks for an FJ60. Red is for Mini truck.

 

[sdbrassfield]

NICE Rig...

 

[megolfer]

Looking good, Keep it up cant wait to see it in person

 

[weak-link]

It was bronze in color, is that the stock color for a 60?

Red and black just look right to me

Updates from today.
Jason got the improperly placed Martacks ground out and re set. All is good now. Got the front end together, on wheels, and dropped down.

 

[freds40]

Had to turn it around so Jason cruised the hood quick like.

And one of the front end back together.
