how do you like those kayaks they are Pescadors from Perception right? been thinking of picking one up. thanks.
Figured I’d toss in my two cents on kayaks... I bought my Wilderness Systems, Pamilico 120 years ago at an outdoor shop cheap because it was from the previous season. It’s a fishing kayak so it doesn’t have a keel and the cockpit is much bigger. I really like the not having to keep my balance constantly like I would if it did have a keel. Way back I did an 18 mile paddle w/ a group up in Maine and my male dog was very happy and comfortable in front of me. My then bf has a Perception and he had my female w/ him and was far more squished sharing space, she had to stay sorta below the edge of the cockpit. And not too long ago I took my son, then 4, out in my Pamilco and he sat very comfortably in front of me too.
It does refresh. I used the ARB d1xXL and D2XL for the rear. I ordered the Leafs and the new u-bolts and center pin from 4wheelparts. It's fairly straightforward, jack up, support with stands, support axle and remove shock, remove ubolts. Use c clamps to keep the leafs compressed, then use a prybar to open the bands holding the leaf pack together, i avoided using heat for fear it would screw up the leafs. Add the AAL as the third leaf. Using the c clamps and a mini sledge, line up the leaf's as you put them back together. I used the pin to help align everything. This is the hardest part. Once the pack is together, just use the new ubolts and reinstall. Be sure both sides of the axle are up in the air, you wont be able to align the ubolts if one side is still on the ground with the tire touching pavement. Took me about 3 hours per axle cost with new ubolts was under $300. The ride isn't harsh either, and lifted me about an inch.
I still remember teaching my daughter to drive stick in my '84 mini truck. Almost ten years ago now. One of the highlights of my fatherhood experience. Also let her friend drive, and she drove it straight into a fence
Im in the inner Richmond. I like what you have been doing to your rig!
) and installed them. I bought the bumper originally in Santa Fe back in '86, the same year this FJ60 was built, and it was on my new '84 FJ60 for many years even though I never bought a winch for it. I picked up a used, like new 8274-50 here on MUD a few years ago, so it goes on next, before Solid Axle Summit #3 in August. I think the style of bumper and the color of the FJ60 will look familiar to @roma042987.
As for dash, A lot of hours of (Approx 2 hours) grinding sanding and dust,, But it's not that bad at all. YouTube is the way.
