The 60 was due for the front wheel spacers to be checked. Decided since it’s Fathers Day weekend to get the boy and show him how to change a tire and what parts are called. View attachment 2003986
All the wheel spacer nuts where still nice and tight. Blue loctite holding up well. View attachment 2004008

A very awesome Fathers Day
Totally respect you and all, maybe it’s just the maternal side of me ... toss a jack stand under that next time or at least the tire under the axle? Just for safety sake w/ the little kiddo tugging on a wrench!
I will add, that truck is a true Beast! And you two are a super cute father/son pair. Happy Fathers Day!
Drove it to help a friend fix his Jeep. Metric AND standard on the same components?! I told him to buy a yoda.... didn’t take pics because we were too busy looking for sockets to fit stupid sized bolts.
Ha! It’s not actually. Wood was creeki g real good earlier w/ about 30% weight on it. Added some 2x3s under it to balance it off on the frame instead of the floor of the wagon. I’ve got some nice black walnut, I’ll have to rebuild it fir my kid eventually. Thing has been around; was my daughters first. Great garage/yard tool.
My radio cut out on me a long time ago. After three years I finally figured out what happened and fixed it for three dollars.... jeeze.... I don’t know if I’ll feel right listening to tunes while driving again. I’m also dreading the rats nest that is shoved in my dash. There was a cb radio and tv/stereo set up in this thing at one point and lord knows what else.
Finally got around to re-installing this kaymar accessory light. At some point the power wire to this light went missing. Not sure if it got repurposed when I had my backup camera installed, or where it went? But
anyway, I ended up splicing into the power wire that feeds the light on the rear license plate.
@BHillteq if you get out to the western half of Utah this summer, keep an eye out for me and the wife. We'll be out there toodling around quite a bit this summer in one Landcruiser or the other. Pics from the previous weekend in Utah.
Evidently forgot to put the truck in gear when I got out of the truck... Thank goodness for my neighbors pine trees keeping the Cruiser out of their house. Nobody got hurt. Now to start saving for the 4x4labs and find a new hatch and tailgate. Don't think it bent the frame.

That’s a shame, but it looks like the bumper took the worst of it. I bet a 4x4 labs bumper with a spare tire swing out on the passenger side would cover the bruises.
