Took off the rear bumper, sanded it, primed it, sprayed it with raptor liner.

Annual wood run this weekend getting the cabin all stocked up for winter. Was great until the solenoid stuck on the starter. Had to disconnect the battery and took about 45 minutes of repeated smacking with a hammer before it disengaged and I was able to start it back up to head home. Will be taking it out to rebuild this week...

Did you spray raptor liner on that grill? Isn't it just going to burn off?
I did, I had left over raptor liner. I don't use it much these days and i don't want it to rust.
 
What roof rack is that? Nice and simple.
Thanks - I really like it. Matt and Tony at Landcrusiers Northwest in Portland made it.
 
1976 C25. 350 4bbl with the SM465, Corporate 14 bolt with 4.10. Also it’s a crew @ 21ft long.



They were new when I was a kid, I’ve always liked them. I bought it from the original owner and got a stack of paperwork. 45,000 miles and original paint. Far from mint, but perfectly useable and at a fraction of the price of a new 3/4 ton.
right on! still built back in the day when men were men n trucks were trucks, not this pussified $h!t they're peddlin' off these days!!!!
 
Added a touch of humor to my 62 today....

My birth month and year! Killer find.
Ahhh... 1985, good choice, same year as my 60, so many great movies came out then, Goonies, Clint Eastwood’s Pale Rider and Back to the Future with Marty McFly’s new Toyota pickup that drew my Toyota passion.

And the 1985 movie Silverado was pretty good too. The panorama over the Rio Grande in the opening scene was filmed here in town, for scenery it's one of the best movie openings IMHO.

I thought about my Cruiser during trip to Havana, Cuba where I saw FJ40s touring the streets. Didn't see any FJ60s.

Got ready for SurfNTurf at Pismo!

Finally moved all my accessories to a Blue Sea power bus.

Also had a friend make me up a flag/antenna mount. Thanks to @yodaTEQ IG post on that.

Did an oil change, fresh plugs and a U-Joint greasing.

Plugs don't look too awful for ~24,000 miles. They look a little hot, they were gapped too high at about .040" -.045". 3 and 6 had the largest gaps. New NGKs gapped at .032"

I think I have a small vacuum leak at the PCV valve grommet as well. New one en route.

Checked the axle fluids and had Birf Soup for dinner.... I knew they were getting bad bad I guess I'll be doing the knuckles sooner than later. :beer:

This truck has 106K miles.
