What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (42 Viewers)

[Aloha Jen]

I love the color of your cruiser Jen

Thanks, it's Toyota Dark Green 6V7. Should have some photos in better outdoor light pretty soon.

Me either but, after I dropped down on a log and bent my bars I always wanted to build one. So, now its here. What is nice is you have to look underneath to see it. Its pretty tucked away.

And yes to each their own.

I'm curious as to how you mounted your skid. Is it solid mounted or set to articulate with the axle?

Was actually going to ask both these questions but was going to crawl under the truck later and take a look. I thought in one of the pics I could see a small bracket coming down from somewhere for the lower mounts, uppers look like the underside of the frame?

For me the weekend was filled with a very specific Christmas shopping item.
Most saw in my thread but here he is riding in the cruiser with me yesterday as we ran some errands. So far a pretty calm pup, mellow temperament, and most of all he is submissive to his siblings.

Cruiser fam meet Louie... Louie this is your cruiser fam...
Looking forward to lots of camping trips, hiking, snowshoeing, etc. with this little man and his siblings.

Upgraded my brake system in the middle of my LS swap. Used a 93 4Runner brake booster (mounted upside down due to bolts and the shaft alignment in firewall), and used a 1 ton 1" T-100 Master Cylinder. All the lines bolted up as they should have. I did a lot of reading and cant find anywhere where the booster has to be mounted a certain way. Please chime in if I'm mistaken.

you got it...I used a runner master, but the same booster. get the inline check valve off the firewall of the runner or mini to finish it.

....then went bad quick on some ice skates, ending in 6 staples in my head...

HA- I stood up into the unprotected upper doorframe lip of my fj55 a little too fast one day and got SEVEN! let me tell you from experience, you'd rather get staples than stitches in your noggin. Man those things are cool; I want to get a kit to keep in the first aid box.
Good luck on the mend!

Nice to me you Louis - I'll be fun watching you explore, camp, wheel, and have fun with your family.

Did a bit this weekend. All on the inside. Added a throttle cable from a parted 62 and also a new grab bar from @Cruiser Corps. Then put some miles on it on the way to the island for short family stay.

Oh, and added a silver surfer refrigerator magnet to the tailgate.

Today I installed my Turbosmart boost controller, and adjusted the boost from 7.5 to 10psi, with an increase in fuel to (hopefully) match. I did a highway acceleration test to 110km/hr after each adjustment to check boost, egt, and time. Settled on what I believe is a good compromise between power, smoke, and egts... I will book it in for a dyno tune after Xmas / New Years just to ensure what I have done won't affect engine reliability...

Awesome!
Mind your temp gauge...
When mine started acting up it was because I was running too much boost for my head bolts/gasket to contain. Started pressurizing the cooling system which was tough to diagnose.
YMMV
And, it seems like your numbers are well with in reason.
Enjoy it!

Drove up to an undisclosed location near Lone Pine, CA to work on a commercial for an unnamed company that has a new line of ATV's coming out. Only had 2 roll-overs. Temps in the mid 20's before the sun came up.

Discovered that my 4wd light won't turn off once I engaged it.

Good times...

Anyone interested in stock OEM mud flaps and a pair of Cibie Super Oscar vintage lights? Whats the going price for mudflaps? Trying to declutter my collection of car parts. I also have clean rust free fenders and a couple 60 doors. Someone make me an offer haha should be going up in the for sale section soon. I also have a medical grade fridge but I might keep that

Christmas Eve Detailing!

 

[micruz60]

Cleaned the windscreen off, so much Magchloride on the roads in Colorado
Then I applied a coat of RainX
Hopefully ski some more Pow tomorrow.

Removed the radiator...

 

[ander42b]

Replaced the rear u-joints on the Criuser to take care of a vibration. Took about 8 hour to get the both of the U-joints out on the rear drive shaft. Got the AutoZone Duralast U-joints (part number 2-0020DL) $21 bucks after taxes. Now we will see how long they last. Is it Duralast or Duracrap ?!?!?!? Here some picture of the dead and removed U-joints.View attachment 1002205

Well it time for an up date on the Duralast U-joints. It been two years and the U-joints have held up to the abuse of 5.3 Vortec.

 

[cruisermatt]

Going to cut my rear perfect rust-free crossmember out soon, anyone need it? If so I can remove it carefully so it can be put in another truck

Here's a picture of my Crusier's first White Christmas. Nothing spectacular but it's really rare to get a snow storm on exactly on Christmas Eve here is northern Arizona.
