no its empty, but i don't foresee any problems. if it can hold the tire and me bouncing on it without deflecting very much, it can hold an extra 30lbs of brcket/fuel on the trail.

edit: And if it doesn't... Jason on comin for you LOL!!!!!!

I'm right here... You have my address.. HA!

Shouldn't be an issue.. Me and my buddy load tested one of those spindles at approx 650#... The bumper flexed and that's why I box the spindle and end of my bumpers now.

Well, being it's the New Year, it was time to pop open the hood and clean the engine again. Seems I do this annually. It's hard to get to the back of the engine so I find it easier to set it out on the garage floor where a guy can get at it more easily. Seriously, spent some time and energy laying on some paint to make this thing look like jewelry under the hood!

Picking up another 60 this upcoming weekend. Rust bucket, but only 138K on a strong engine. Will be pulling that engine to put in the other 60 I have sitting in the garage (Green one). With temps below zero this week, the Princess is a little irritated that she has to park outside while all 3 bays in our (heated) garage are full of Cruisers!

Drove mine from Austin to Houston fully loaded. 17mpg going as fast as 76mph. Not the Best fuel miLeage, but then again it weighs over 6000lbs.
 
Picked-up ceramic coated header and powder coated air cleaner housing:







Axles due from powder coater next week, check.

Parts orders from Onur due next week, check.

Desmog finally completed next week, check.

Axle/suspension shop the following week, check.

Getting my 60 back and driving it in three weeks, check.

Over the last couple weekends I installed a lift and some 33s, taking it from this...

Changed out the upper and lower radiator hoses and coolant in the 12H-T. The coolant looked good, but I'm not sure how much longer the hoses would have lasted!:meh:
 
Took my 1 yr old and my 3 yr old wheeling at my private park! Got home and started grooving my tires! Can't wait to wheel again and see how it hooks up!!!

You get the hoses made? or from toyota? I need a new upper. She leaks juuust a bit.
 
Today I replaced the flaps in the D pillar vents! A special shout out to doug720 who happened to still have a set from way back when he made them and was willing to part with them. Hopefully now I won't get the occasional hint of diesel exhaust in the cab!
 
Well ... A few weeks ago the heater core started leaking , I took it out along with everything else on and under the dashboard. The carpet/insulation is ruined from the antifreeze and 30 years of use . I ordered the full vinyl mat set from SOR. While the dash and heater are out this will make the install of the mats that much easier. The heater core going in is new, I sweated the copper pipes on the heater core and got rid of the rubber O- ring seals , New heater hoses for the whole engine compartment and rear heater ... tomorrow, it will continue
