What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (17 Viewers)

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Wow. Big bucks.

Much cheaper than farming it out to all the job shop vultures.

So did you bench bleed the master with Banquet or Ultra?

Didn’t have to bench bleed the master, took the lines off and capped the outlet ports on the MC. Reinstall went smoothly. No mushy pedal, brakes work well.

Nice ZERO Tolerances, I own two.

I’ve owned several over the years. Quality knife, I usually take my Half Faced blade camping, however I was in a rush to get out there and forgot it.

Went looking for some grouse. No luck, but it's always good to be in the woods.

Got the shop cleaned and organized for the start of our next 2 Saturday SOA party. Was planning on finishing the 80s teardown but had 2 emergency no water service calls.

Today I finally picked up the 4plus bumper from @Rustic76. Toured his awesome collection of Landcruisers which was worth it by itself.

It’s just been cluttering up the garage floor and had I just enough time to go and get it.

Got back to shop and was too excited to just drop off the bumper and leave. Got tools out and removed the old rivets and bracket for the stock bumper. Set the 4plus in its new home.

New 60 Series Front bumpers are in process (rears to follow soon)

A couple of custom rears getting going. Not a bad Saturday morning for production.

Ah Nevermind, sorry. I just read it.
So a better question what is the weight savings for the aluminum version?

View attachment 1805219 View attachment 1805218 Rolled my 60 with a recent motor swap on a long drive to Salt Lake City and back to Golden. The 5.3 makes for a way better drive.
Did a little camping both ways.

Love the wheels and tire combo, do you mind sharing what it is?

They are American Racing AR172 Baja wheels. I like the look personally.

The steel front approx. 110# with bar. I don't know the exact weight difference yet but based on steel plate (3/16) at 7.65# and aluminum (1/4) at 3.50#; it should ring in around the 50# mark.

That’s worth waiting for. Maybe I can be the first customer of the aluminum version.

Got some paint on the mud flaps. It’s not perfect, but it’ll be under the truck and it looks way better.

I'll give you first shot at the prototype when its ready. I think you won a gift certificate at SAS2 if 'm not mistaken...

Made havoc with my truck this weekend .

Started my fan shroud mod. It's in two pieces now and needs to get finished with pop-rivets .

Cleaned up the front end. Ripped out old heater hoses and oil cooler hoses.

Kind of bent the water heater valve. Any suggestions on ways to resend without breaking it? See picture.

Spent some quality time degreasing and cleaning up the upper and lower thermostat housing.

Exploded my AC Condenser with my drill by accident .Whoops. That system had a lot of pressure .Was not expecting that.

Excited to out it all back together again.

I left my grandfather's Buck knife in my truck. It was stolen one night while my truck was in the driveway. Lose once, cry lots...
