What did you do with your 60 this weekend?

[Hojack]

Removal of my leaking power steering gearbox.

Found the source of the problem

Drilled and tapped box for hydro assist. Used copper wire to use as a depth gauge.

1/4x18NPT tapped for Trail Gear Hydro Assist.

Rebuilt gearbox. Ready for the SOA conversion.

Spent this past week doing fieldwork in streams in north Alabama. Loaded up yesterday morning to head home and made it about 20 miles before disaster struck. Blew the left rear axle oil seal. I have had these develop slow leaks before but nothing this dramatic. Considering all the remote spots we hit during the week this was the best place for this parts failure to occur.

Drove it to go work on other 60’s.

 

[HemiAlex]

7 days of driving 2700 miles to CO from TX in this rust bucket.

A bunch of trails and good experiences with friends.

That rack looks great! Looks similar to the Prinsu rack I have on my 4runner.

Ahhhhhhh nothing. Lol. Recovering.
This is how she looks after last weeks, 5 day Mammoth trip.
Was airing out the tent, forgot to fold up until after dark, then realized it was damp from dew. So left it folded up but uncovered to dry out.

Then this the following day. 2nd Laminectomy but of L2-L4. The first time was L4-S1.
Looking at hitting the dessert in about a week it two, then Turf and Surf 2018 in Nov in the dunes at Pismo. Come join the fun .

Same here, where do you all meet? I'm in San Clemente. Some of us visit the cars and coffee at the outlet mall in SC from 09-1100 on Saturdays.

Hey, How was it installing those LED headlights. Any issues with no high beam dash indicator?

Well damn, I redress w/ those only when there’s a surgical infection that won’t heal from the outside in... we call them wound vacs or is yours a new type of drain vacuum? No fun. Hope your doing okay!

Yup. Took the drain out the day prior to release which was collecting all the seepage. Once it was out the wound vac started picking up t he slack.
It's still super sore of course . I've had now 12 total surgeries.
I hope it's not infected, no spike in temp, wound site is a bit warm to the touch.

 

[EscapeWagon62]

Cargo carpet and sound deadener. I had previously deadened the front of the cab but doing the cargo area and wheel wells made a huge difference.

 

[boerboel313]

Any concerns with moisture between the sound deadening and sheet metal?
I durabak'd my cargo area. can't remember if I painted over the access plates or not, Hope I didn't. As that would suck.

Look great though.

Once it’s rolled on with a wooden roller from the craft store, not much of anything will get underneath it.

Can you provide a side shot to show how close it sits to the truck?
