What did you do with your truck this week?

[dbenke]

I like it a lot. I do like the rhino grill, but you're right...finding one for the right price is almost impossible
.
Did you ever get the brakes worked out. that sounded like a real pain.

 

[BMThiker]

The Hydroboost does work, but we've been having trouble with leaky master cylinders now. Not sure what the problem is, but we've installed two brand new (not reman) Delco MC's and both are weeping from behind the piston.

I drove the 60 to penrose/brevard NC Sunday, I think I saw Rick driving down 85 around noon.getting 17 mpg...

I went over the mountain on 11 and passed a Harley.. passed a few cars, I was increasing speed up going up hill in 3rd gear. Lots of fun!

I can see why people love the 60 compared to the 62.

 

[dbenke]

I still like the fuel injection, though.

New alternator in the. 62. I can actually see my headlights now! And I don't have to stop and hit the alternator with a hammer to get it to charge anymore.

Reinstalled the interior in the FJ Cruiser.

 

[greenseaman]

What did you do to have to take the interior out?

 

[IndianDoc]

Did get home long enough to drive the fuel injected 2F(thanks Marshall) OMG i'm going to love this thing now for sure.

 

[Southeast Overland]

What did you do to have to take the interior out?

I swamped in a river that was over my hood.

































Or the real story is I left a window down during a storm.

 

[greenseaman]

LOL!
Oh no!!

 

[Southeast Overland]

LOL!
Oh no!!

 

[BMThiker]

Finally changed out hub #2 on the front. I suspect it was water seeping in that prematurely toasted both my hubs - damn you deep water crossings ...that brings the total to 2 hub bearings and 1 starter.

Very nice!! Is this going to be yours (read stay around here) or is this a client project?

I built this one for me.

Everyone has their price when it comes to keeping verses selling their trucks, but I doubt anyone would offer me what it would take to sell.

Road and trail manners will be the final test.

Good deal, so staying local. I'd love to check it out when it is all buttoned up if you have the time, just to marvel at your work and the finished product...

I live close to Josh (77cruiser) if you know that area.

Hauled it out to have an exhaust bent early in the week. Yesterday was the Line-x at Tarheel. Finished the wiring and fired the engine for the first time as well. Throttle cable tonight and movement under it's own power (fingers crossed).
