Looks like your aftermarket bumper is about to earn it's keep on that one.

Luckily there was enough of a roll on the top that it wasn't more than a slow "scrape". No way around except to bug out a 1/2 mile back.
I think that the bigger ledge above would have taken it off as it was a couple of feet taller and a little undercut. Thank fully the alternate was doable.
Big ledge on left, alternate line on right.
I bought a 60 after having sold my 80 a few years ago.
I'm glad to be back in a Cruiser. Already doing a bunch of reading about 60s and learning a lot, so thanks to the 'Mud community.
I doubt I can keep up with all the wrenching here, but I can do some little projects.

I saw your 60 next to mine at Jamboree this weekend. Liked the light bar mount! Sharp looking Truck.

Thanks man. It was busy between rain showers and difficult to catch people with their Cruisers. White 60 correct?

Where'd you go fishing? Always looking for roads to explore in the FJ60.
Burro wash, not sure I would recommend it, the road was 2 hours of rocky torture on the way in and out! Maybe I'm just getting old. I envied the kids on the dirt bikes who flew by me for both their speed and youth

Finally got if off road to navigate to a hiking spot in the Blue Ridge mountains. About 6 miles of gravel with some wash out spots. Pretty mild but it was fun. Then set up for lunch.

Finished installing the new U-joints I purchased from Cruiser Outfitters on the front and rear driveshafts for my '86 FJ60 project vehicle. Touched up the paint where it was messed up by the vice jaws/shop press bed plates. Started to research how the heck to grease the zerk fittings. I searched Amazon and looked at different products, along with reviews. I decided to go with the Lincoln Lubrication 5803 grease needle nozzle, which got very good reviews. I ordered two, they will get here Tuesday. In the meantime I can finish prepping and painting the front sheet metal engine under covers and finish painting the rear lift gate.

I'll post my experience with this tool later in the week.

Ordered the ACC. drive kit for my LS3 and the TC adapter from Marks in AUS for the HF2A. Received a few more goodies.
Stainless battery trays, vinyl flooring and remaining air locker.

Stopped by O'Reilly this morning while running errands and discovered they had the Lincoln grease needle nozzle in stock, so I picked one up. Got home and proceeded to grease the zerk fittings in the U-joints. The tool works extremely well, not much if any grease leaks from the tip. I'll put the driveshafts together later today and use the standard grease gun tip on the slip joint zerk fittings. After I bolt up the driveshafts I'll be another step closer to getting the '86 running. My youngest son will be staying with us tomorrow night and I'll have him help me bleed the brakes.

Finally got the intake/exhaust back together after doing a new manifold gasket. Carb is bolted back up and I had time to fire it up and let it run for a few minutes.
Smoked like crazy, but it tapered off. Pretty sure that was the high-temp paint + antisieze doing its burning-in. It ran with the choke for a few moments, then I turned the choke off and it idled fairly well. Just need to go back in and readjust the timing & carb now that I have (hopefully) eliminated the intake leaks.
I did find what I think is an exhaust leak right where the downpipe bolts to the exhaust manifold. Sigh.
If you see anything hooked up incorrectly, feel free to point it out......

bought this little boat for $300 so had to take my kids fishing. rained a little bit no biggie. if this is the reason i never get my projects done i’m good with that!
Went up an ATV trail to one of my favourite little lakes, then drove up to Cape Scott for a walk on the beach. 3 days -- torture tested the new suspension, checked the range of the new fuel tank, ate dust, spat dust, hate dust, paradise of the dashboard view.
