Replaced the "Destaco 341-R Pull Action Latch Clamp" for the Slee tire carrier on the bumper.
New one looks a bit nicer than the one baked in the AZ sun for 15 years . . ..
And this one has the safety latch on it. $50.25 delivered from Kinequip.
Just got the e-brake on the t-case rebuilt with all new parts including cable... turned out good. View attachment 1677334
All new fluid in front and rear diff's.
I think that I might try and start it up tomorrow to test out the brakes!
Do you also predict the future...? What is the next winning lottery number, nevermind send me a PM on that one...
YES, the existing drum surface looked to be in pretty good shape but I ordered and installed the Speedy Sleeve anyway along with a new seal on the tcase. I measured the depth that it needed to be installed, pressed it on and then knocked off the lip.
Went back the next day after filling with gear oil and "no leaky"!
Great idea..., thanks!
I brought another one into the stable! It finally came home. Running like a champ, thanks to @murf and his crew at CBT, and @Saddletramp for being a parts-runner.
Specifics:
1986 (May 1986 build date).
Going to keep it as original as I can.
It will be a work in progress - Lots of little things (and some bigger ones) to do.
It is de-smogged with a JDM carb and distributor on the original 2F engine. Need to work on the interior now.
Will post up more when more is done.
