Went some old service records as a refresher and found some Cruiser history I'd forgotten.
In 98, TLC in Oxnard gave it a full refresh including bushings, seals, and fuel pump. Then in 99, the motor was rebuilt with a new long block after throwing a rod. In 01 it got a new rear diff. There's a gap until 2013 when Torfab did a full desmog, front axle service, and installed new U-joints and spider joints. It's minor stuff from there until the new windshield I had installed this year. Interesting to think about the things our old trucks have seen along the way.

Have to know if those KM3s feel much heavier than the K02s trying to keep speed on the highway. They look great.Before and after. 315/75/16 KM3 with 80 series steelies and still using 2" spacers.
Yup, I spent hours going thru the records of my 60 when I bought it. I have the receipt for the first oil change it had back in 83! Its cool to think about where it’s been over the course of 38 years.
A couple of days we got back from our 2300km last-minute camping trip up north.
The 60 returned 10.88L/100km when we weren’t towing, and 15L/100km when towing our boat (about 1.2T when loaded).
Here are a few pics of the last few days of the trip...

I would say it’s maybe just slightly less effective than the dark tint I used to have. It’s hard to say because my A/C is also not as cold as it used to be. It’s a huge improvement over no tint though.

Track width and clearance. I bought them initially for the stock wheels and 33x10.5's as they scrubbed when flexed a lot. Kept them on since the offset isn't ideal on the 80 series wheels. 2" spacers are perfect in my eyes.
Well they are '35s' and E rated, definitely heavy. It is a noticeable change but not enough to affect driveability for me. I'll report back after I hit the big grades here in socal. I can see how the 33s would be the same as K02s which is great if mud terrain is your need. I personally wanted another set of KO2s but unfortunately they have a 2 month back order from BFG in the size I needed.
Friday night I needed a beer (or three). Drove it to the local watering hole...
Interested in this setup...DM me please with quote. Thanks
LS3 manifolds.. fitment is much better and these will not cook my motor mounts like the vette manifolds did...

Took her to the beach today for a bonfire and a great sunset.
And this happened to the mileage today.

My 60s been with Nick @ Adventure Fab in Vancouver, Washington getting the rear tire carrier built. He works out of his own home. Custom bumpers and racks is all he does. Very talented guy who builds anything how you want it. He likes to incorporate your vision with his knowledge and experience to build a quality product at a great price. My bumper is almost done. Added rear quarter panel sliders off the rear bumper. Today he’s building sliders.
