What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (13 Viewers)

[cruiser enthuiser]

First, got some mud on her. The first since the repaint. I’m lucky, I get to drive my truck off road often for work.

Then I tore the interior out. Good things are to come:

Now, what should I do with this?

Cheers!

I got my new 4Runner brake booster installed along with the T100 master cylinder. Rotors, drums, calipers, pads, lines... hardware... all that’s happening tomorrow. I know I’m trying to eat an elephant whole...

I should do the 4R booster, is it possible without cracking the brake system at the master?

No, I don’t think there’s any way to do it without pulling the lines and master cylinder off. There’s just no room to move around if all that stuff is still hanging out there. If your brake fluid is nasty it would be a good time to flush the lines anyway. The stuff in my master reservoir looked like someone ground charcoal in it. If that’s the case, just replace the master when you do the booster and flush the lines. I know Sunday is gonna be a bear of a work day for me but it’ll be worth it.

Blackcat, nice work. Your photos look like they are out of the dealer brochure!

Too many dogs and woods living for me to every have mine stay that nice for more than a minute.

Thanks. It’s currenrly a garage Queen while I save my pennies for a lift and tires. Once that’s done, it’ll be used much, much more.

I knew it wouldn’t be this simple....
upon removing my hub to replace my rotor I found this... being that the knuckle job was the first major auto repair I had ever attempted I’m going to assume I damaged the hub seal when I was installing it two years ago. I also neglected to listen to the wise people around here who suggested the beefier marlin crawler inner axle seals. I have diff fluid migrating all the way to my locking hub. Fun.... can a guy ever get a break?! Looks like we’re gonna be holding off for another week while I order the parts to do it right a second time...

DAMN! I’m out of whiskey too....

LED dash lights. For some reason, the pics make it look stupid/bad. It’s very crisp/clean in person.

What lights did you use for this? We’re they plug and go?

Yes, plug and go. Just cheapies from amazon I had left over from doing my gf’s 4Runner several months ago.

They’re also available in green to stay closer to OE appearance with added brightness.

another trip out across the lake. this time i hauled a couch to the cabin and my broken down snowmobile back from the cabin

parked it on the ice for the night, warmed it up with the webasto and drove back the next day!!

 

[Kleatus]

Opened up a crate from @Fourrunner
Very nice packing job!
(There are more than one in here, a couple other guys and myself went in together to save on shipping.)

Got it tacked up on the 62 and then pulled it off to weld it up inside and out. Very nice fit!

I will be putting dual swingouts on it. My stock on was missing both end caps, getting bent up all the time, my hitch hung very low, and my spare was always dragging. It was time to fix all that.

Swept the snow off of it so the doors wouldn't freeze shut after thawing during the day. All its done lately is run errands.

Did the same a few years back Klaus. Good choice.

I think I need to clean my dash too.

 

[Idaho Savage]

Somehow managed to rupture the rear heater while installing a new center console. Sweet.

That photo is giving me flashbacks to my former life cross country commuting in Illinois. Flat as a pool table and nothing between you and the North Pole but a barb wire fence.

From a few years ago - did not make it to work on this day.....did not make it out of the driveway come to think of it.

I believe I have the ugliest blue FJ60 among this crowd.
