Rolling through a milestone.

Nice.

Headed east to the Manistee River to strip streamers for fall browns. The pre-spawn bite was on and fall colors were just starting to go.

 

[wngrog]

Finished her spa month and took her out for a spin on the Natchez Trace parkway

Decided its time to test out the bike rack and hit the local trails, we weren't disappointed.

Started to weld up my floors. Really out of practice so glad it is on the floors and not on the wheel wells that i will be doing next weekend.
I will be practice all week on other parts of the floor.
they are solid (stomping on them did nothing) and you cannot see daylight underneath. Need to do some welding from below, but out of Gas so need to get that tomorrow. You can see the gas issue on the leading edge but the door jamb

The Michigan leg of the Land Cruiser Relay started at Dark Horse Brewery in Marshall Michigan. Marshall is 230 some miles south of me, so I had to get up early and run. Sunrise was gorgeous so I had to stop and take a quick photo. My 60 ran fine the whole trip. Cruised the highway at about 3000 rpm +/- without issue. Still have no clue on how fast that is on my 31s, but I seemed to make good time and even passed a few cars... When I arrived, there were 4 other cruisers that made it - we had 2 40s, a RH drive diesel import 80, and a super charged 80 complete with snorkel.

So the relay was passing a “baton” from stop to stop that would slowly make it’s way west. Everyone had to bring a photo of themselves and their truck to put into the toolbox/baton. When I arrived, some of the guys were already under the hoods checking each other’s trucks out. We wandered over to mine, I popped the hood and John looks over near my carb and asked “Is that supposed to be there”. He was pointing at an open lock blade knife.... just sitting there. The day before a friend of mine changed the oil and rotated the tires while I was downstate to get the 60 ready for the trip. The lock blade made it all the way to Marshall without causing any damage... So we threw it in the toolbox/baton.

The guys were great - Me and my 60, Dominic and his Tinker Belle 40 from Detroit, Troy and his 40 [drove it up from Columbus OH], John and his RH turbo diesel 80 from Chicago, Pat and his supercharged 80 from Grand Rapids.

Matt played photographer as his ’69 40 didn’t make the trip due to starter issues..... Everyone was great. The beer was excellent. Looking forward to pics as the baton makes it’s way west.

I just don't get this photo?

Which photo is confusing you?

Which photo is confusing you?

I'm gonna just say he means the last one. But it looks like a star chart or map.

It was great meeting everybody and sharing stories over a cold brew! Hoping to be up your way in the next couple of weeks for a color tour in the 80, so I will hit you up and buy you a beer if you are around. That is one nice 60 you have, I'd love to own one too one day!

Hope this helps.

Randomly came across this on the bike trail. It was in the middle of no where.

Got a couple of blurry pics of the progress of my HJ60. What little rust it had , got all new metal welded in, all the bodywork done, and primed ready for paint. Shouldn't be too long for it to be finished and back home!

 

[wngrog]

Added some new $or.com seat foam and had the local fabric guy sew in new vinyl

I bet I'm sitting 4" taller now

 

[ElviMcCoy]

Awesome. Taking my new foam seat from SOR into the shop Monday for replacement and a proper patching.

I’m worried being 6’4” that I’ll need to put a sunroof into the 60 with all the added height I’m about to gain.

Forgot to update all the recent work. Installed new Terrain Tamer suspension. Completely rebuilt the front end and did a de-smog. Finally, installed new exhaust from the manifold back. This rig runs and drives so much better. The old suspension was flat and PO tried to address with shackles. The ride was horrible. All improved now. Not sure on the next project. Any ideas?

 

[cruisermatt]

Not really the weekend any more but I 99% finished my exhaust manifold-back. Still need to add o2 sensor bungs. This should take care of the exhaust leaks and ground clearance issues of the factory downpipes. This all bolts into the stock hangers and the lowest point is higher then the bottom of the oil pan.

This was last weekend. Finally brought her home, and stopped to fill up her first full tank of diesel.

 

[HoJo 61]

Installed sun visor.
Cleaned interior.
New wiper blades.

Great job on the exhaust. And more pictures of the Jag please
