This ****ing plug, dude. Tiniest screwdriver prying so hard at an odd angle, with clumsy hands in the way... New dooe switch sure makes the interior lights brighter, might have to do them all.

Ditch lights. Puddle lights are on the bottom edge of the door.

How about the ditch lights? Is that something you put together?

I started my first birf rebuild, and overall everything came apart super easy. Only thing is that I destroyed a tie rod because I was to lazy to get a new separator and tried to use a pickle fork. I did have one question how difficult is it to knock the brass bushing out of the spindle? I have seen some people mention knocking it off with a drift and others buying a puller from Harbor Freight with marginal success. Just trying to think of any good methods.
Holy carp! Time for a new birf and drive flange!
Never seen birf splines so completely punished...

Took a drive out to Walnut Canyon in AZ.

Got this fantastic 1991 HDJ81 in for some work. This is a true rust free mint 120,000kms JDM Cruiser.
His little brother keeps joy riding it while he is out town though. Somehow he taco’ed the drag link, farmers fields is the rumor.
Cheers

Put the lift on this one a year ago, deleted the ACSD and did a timing belt plus BEB so we have seen it before.
Such a nice Cruiser though.
No rollback funkiness on this speedo.
Top trim witth all the goodies.
What is should look like with only 120,000kms on it but still wonderful to look at this 30yr old engine bay.

Why not rotate the 1Up rack 90 degrees so the bike sits closer to the hatch?

Had a couple of drinks.. saw a couple of things
That birfield is TOAST!
Wait these switches are why my interior lights are so dim? why?
Wait a minute, how do you even wear all the splines off the birf like that? How does that happen? Did the truck drive?
Right...either using the CDL, or the VC is welded together.
This was really phase one just to see if I could get it to work. Before I got too invested, I wanted to use off the shelf items that I could then modify to make it work. In this case, I modified a 2" receiver pintle mount with a bit of custom hardware I made in the garage in between. I'm not using the "typical" 1Up rack that you see hanging on the back of cars. This one has a different mounting style using T-slot that the usual ones do not. I'm mounting cable today to prevent the lower arm from extending too far to add some security for a bike mount that's not intended to be used vertically.
Once I get the bugs ironed, I'm hoping to do exactly as you say with a custom "pintle mount" (unless you know of one that mounts 90° from normal? Maybe a hitch winch mount?) that can accept potentially more racks for the family, or recovery boards, or a Hi-lift, or....
Maybe one day I'll add the other swing out, but ARB only offers another tire swing out or a jerry can holder. I wish they would offer just a "blank" swing out that gives me a foundation to build off of.
I love that area...pretty much love NM...the destinations less traveled.
