What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (53 Viewers)

[perrobravo]

Installed a 2 meter mobile ham radio for better trail communications and because it can't hurt to have a few extra watts of transmit power in the event something goes haywire outside of cell phone range. Conveniently, HRO had the Yaesu FT-2900 on sale, so I pulled the trigger, grabbed an antenna, and went to work on the 60.

Had to remove the OEM cupholders, but this spot worked pretty well and keeps the radio somewhat hidden from view. Besides, I found those cupholders useless unless you're drinking from a juicebox.

Cobbled together an antenna mount using bits I had in the garage. Even got to use the rivet tool I bought for another project! Mounted to existing bolt holes, so no permanent modification of the truck required

Installation went so smoothly, I had time to do a bit of suburban "off-roading" in a new housing development. This has nothing to do with the radio installation, but it was fun nonetheless.

What are you using for the intake hose?

What are you using for the intake hose?

I used a Spectre Universal intake hose. It fits on the stock snorkel and I cut the end of the stock tube off and inserted it into the end of the Spectre. I can send you a pic on Monday if you want one. They are available at Oriellys,Summit Racing ect... and they are only $20.

Yeah the first 62 she is selling cause she has no space to store it. She has three other cars and a trailer. That one is clean.

Did more cleaning on the 62 and oiled up hinges that the previous owner never touched. Found I need to replace the shackle bushings ASAP since they're roached. My dad picked up new bushings for the transmission shifting linkage last week and I got them in yesterday, it shifts like butter now and doesn't have any play. Slowly getting it cleaned up and back on track maintenance wise!

This is what was left of the transmission bushings:

Can't wait to get the rear panels taken out so that I can rebuild them, they're roached as well
