What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (33 Viewers)

[Bear Lake Cruiser]

Ah didn't catch that... Ya we are going July 5th for a week, I cannot wait. Have you camped at granite lake north of the Green river lakes? That is where we are going this year.

I have not camped there, just hiked there. We set up a base camp at the green river lakes campground and use that as a hub. We also will go in on the 5th or 6th. Last year I towed the trailer in with the 60, this year it will be with the 100, I left the 60 in AZ for the summer. I spend the summers at Bear Lake on the Idaho Utah border. Here are

some pics from last year. Look us up if you see the 100 in the camp ground. There is a good chance I will have ice cold Negra modelo ready.

Awesome pics, will definitely look out for you! We will be in a rental car, one day I will bring my 60 up there.

Finally got around to popping out the big dent in my rear quarter from two years ago. Not perfect, but at least is a little less noticeable!
I put an old football and soccer ball on the inside of the quarter and pumped them up until the dent let go, then scuffed and primered the hole in the bottom to keep it from rusting.

Got a lot done on the re-wire and up grade of the GM fuse box from the 5.3 Vortec conversion. Up grade the main power to the fuse box from 10 guage wire to a 3 guage wire. This will allow me to handle 94 amps very comfortably. Also added 6 more circiuts for the 4 54watts LED light bar that will be added soon.

Cleaned up the Toyota and Vortec wiring.

Nicely Done!
Do you have any details on the fuse box?

Broke my rear drive shaft while going 65 down the road...

 

[ander42b]

Tputterman,

Was there any other damage to you cruiser ????????

 

[tputterman]

Not to the cruiser. But I think it destroyed my t-case. I tried to put it in 4h it just clunks and grinds and no power to the front wheels. I locked the hubs and still nothing

Post LR tank install....put in 9 gallons of fuel....started and purred for 3 minutes......then just stopped and won't turn over anymore. Sigh......so much for the freeway drive today. [emoji53]. Ideas????

Finshed laying the last of the interior wiring for the 6 new LED light bars. The last couple weekends I started with a clean up of the wiring into and out of the new GM fuse box. See previous post. (Soon to be a separate thread on how I did it so others can follow or get ideas.) I laid 6 new circiuts in the fuse box (previous weekend) this weekend laid one 14 guage wire from the GM fuse box thru the fire wall down the inside of passenager floor all the way up the "D" pillar. Then for my other 5 LEDS lights laid 16 guage wire via the same route.

Picture of the 1/2 inch hole with gorment.

All 6 wires bearly squeeze thru the gorment. Hopefully will be water tight.

...Hopefully will be water tight.

You could always dab/smear with some silicon to help provide a seal.

Broke down the package on my new bumper/tire carrier, inventoried all the bits and pieces and did some research on how to put it all together. Spent some time crawling around underneath the backside of the tractor to figure out which rivets will have to come out as well; not really looking for to that part of the job, but thankfully other MUDders have posted some good 'how-to' information on doing that.

Could it be a kinked or clogged line? Maybe a piece of garbage got in there during the install.

Nice. Is the solar shower pressurized or gravity flow? If pressurized, could you so how you did it? I've been thinking about something similar.
Thanks.
