This thing is just plain cool! We might be one or two steps beyond the “small tire wheeler” claim in your signature now though.
What are you working on?

New motor and transmission mounts going in. The front one most of failed at the Cove-right before the smile left my face. @FamilyCamper and @captainva
The rear pucks have no arc to them. They look like hockey pucks.

ARP steering studs going in steering knuckle and hib studs. And put a new hose in hose real. The 20+ year old one had a blow out last night. New 50' hose on.
Plenty of cold YJ's falling to the wayside.

Gathered up all the stuff to do some maintenance on the 60’s brakes (soft lines, pads, springs, etc)… 3/4 looked good. Rear driver side was an absolute mess. Check out the adjusting screw in the pic. Source or symptom of my problem, I don’t know, but the shoes were trashed. Very likely my fault for driving around with the handbrake on or something at some point.
The passenger side shoes / springs / adjuster all look good. What do you guys think? Replace both so they have equal wear?

Id replace both
A little autozone same day delivery splurge for the adjuster screw and we’re about buttoned up on both sides.

What the heck rear is that? UD full float on 80 should have rear disc.????
It’s the inside of the 60 drum brakes

Makes sense. Thought that was the 80.
Welded in an Eimkieth PCK this afternoon. Fairly easy project and seems to have eliminated the bump steer I had.
Finished motor mounts, new oil pan, front drive shaft back in and finished new brake lines on rear axle.

I got to play with @Toyodajunkie 's gears today. After trying all the shims he had and some of mine, I still could not get solid spacer pre load right. The shims where diff size diameters and just did not work. Finally I grabbed some Dana 60 shims and made it work. I have .005 back lash and a decent gear pattern. I still need to install pinion seal and torque carrier bearing caps. I figure I spent 2 hours on the solid spacer shimming. Next time I will grab the Dana shims, they fit better too.
It took me a stupid amount of time to get my solid spacer correct.
Yeah baby

Better shim selection would help and the correct diameter for the spacer
