What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (28 Viewers)

Is that "olive"?? What color code?

Looks awesome.

Started soaking bolts in Kroil to prep for front spring swap, and measured existing ride height. 33 1/2" driver and 34 7/8" passenger, fender to ground (1 1/4" delta from fender to hub centre). Good old Cruiser lean. Frame is up on stands and axle stands ready to receive when parts from Kurt come in.

Also looks like I need to do inner axle seals… the knuckles are getting pretty gunky.

I've become accepting of cruiser lean. It's just character.

You just need to add a 5 gallon solar heated shower to your roof rack and it’ll level out

Haha yeah she wants to drive it offroad but is scared of stalling it too much. With 4.10 gears, and the h55f, the highway cruise RPMs will be too high anyways, so all of this time and effort would be kind of wasted imo.


The motor is a LM7. Cast iron block 5.3 Vortec out of a chevrolet silverado. It was pulled by a local parts yard that specializes in LS based motors. It only had 70K miles (112,654.08 Kms) on it. Got the motor, trans, wiring harness, pedal, tac module, and MAF for 2,500 usd. It looked like it does in that picture when i got it. I have done nothing at all to clean it up. I think they rubbed some tire shine or something on the plastic cover but it doesnt look like they even bothered trying to clean it. Its suuuper clean!

Awesome find, wish we had ‘m here

How bout that insta post with the part numbers?? I got all new radiator hoses, and 3 of the heater hoses coming, but that’s all I can track down

 

[LandyCruiser]

I rewired the rats nets of mess that was left when someone wired in a trailer and attempted to figure out the grounding issue the license plate lights. They ran wires through the interior to rob power from the right rear marker light, and a ground on the bumper. It’s correctly tied back into the factory loom now, and I was able to hide a ground line until I can track down a license plate light assembly. Also, got a matching spare mounted up.

No. I left the tailgate down. He was doing well except when i said brake! He had a delayed reaction I gues..ha ha. Backed into a pavilion post. Now I gotta find a tailgate which seems to be a chore so far.

Yeah they’re getting tough to find. I’m not sure if Brandon with classic cruisers would ship one to you, but he’s got one of the largest land cruiser junk yards in the country. He’s in salida colorado.
