They’re on! They balanced perfectly with very minimal weight. Much quieter, smoother, and softer than the 16 year old mix matched bald tires it had on it. It’ll do 70mph at around 3k now.

At an exciting time on the build. Got my shock hoops and had time today for fabrication.
Cut off 4-1/2” from both sides. The drivers has to allow clearence for the power steering gearbox so it had to be cut, bent and rewelded.
Shortening and rewelding the front passenger side which has no clearence issues.
Painting the shock hoops and the rear upper shock mounts. Installed 2 bolts for the upper mount so the shock can be moved if desired to the other bolt.
Tomorrow will be installation day.

Yeah thats my dad
Good pick on the AT3s I’ve got a set on my Tacoma and love it been great in the rain snow and sand so far hope you have a just as good of an experience with them.
Took it out to do some light off roading to get to a local wash so I could metal detect around the area. Didn’t find anything, but the truck rides 1 billion times better.

Finally got some work done on the 60 today!
Head replacement in progress about halfway there and hopefully tomorrow I’ll have it wrapped up had some fun with the paint today though.

Cleaned up some of the wiring and put in a fuse block so I can maintain the wiring nest for my accessories. I built an elevated stand for the fuse block that sits directly over my isolator. Worked out pretty good with some long M6 bolts and some aluminum tubing to keep the legs rigid. Put income threaded inserts to accept the M6 bolts as well. I wanted to keep enough airflow between things and also always have access to the switch on the isolator. Cant really see the legs but if anyone is interested I can take more photos.
Got my rear end sealed up, got the rear brakes installed, new clutch master, new rear hatch struts. Still need to get the brakes bled completely.
Went and did some city wheelin in the East Bay Hills!

Drivers side
Passenger side
The reservoirs will be in the engine bay.
Took it shooting
So this is how people go shooting in other states.....god I Hate CA. Hopefully my job in Nampa, ID comes through so I can escape this communist hell hole.
Regardless of whether your job comes through or not, you should escape. I’m rooting for you either way!
Strongly considering it

New head and gaskets installed and after a few months of down time the truck is back running. (A lot better than it was at that)
Vacuum leaks seem to be taken care of removed the rest of the smog stuff and blocked it off to make it a little cleaner.

Found a set of side steps/rails on-line and started fitting them over the weekend. Drivers side is easy as, slight bend of the fuel lines, slip in U-Bolt and you're done. The passenger side however is a massive pain in the arse due to the exhaust and the long range tank. Still working on that side....
Oh man fender guards are rad....nice find

Dare me.
Just drove it. Picked up a tank of c25 for the new welder I have coming and then took a drive by a friends house to drop off xmas presents for her son. She lives on a cove across from Millstone in Waterford, CT. The sun shining through the fog on the icy water was amazing. Way out you could just make out a group of birds sitting on the ice. Temps hit 54 today. A much needed reprieve.
Went from brown to black
