tons, cummins, 40s, 80 series Land Cruiser build

I have chromo's because they shipped me rears instead of fronts, I worked a deal worth while to both parties and kept the chromo's in the rear

still waiting on rear wheel bearings, and seals before they go in

 

okay...

i officially forgive you for selling the taco haha

 

That was the fastest reply ever, holy balls.

 

I'm not terribly happy with the rear leaves. I think I'm going to get a different pack. Would seem my friend got lied to and these appear to be 52" chevys and not 63s. They also have a wicked bend where the main leaf isn't supported for shit. I could add a leaf but... IDK I have plenty of room on the frame for longer leaves.

 

wow..yea it was..same minute..damn haha

63s would flex better wouldn't they?

 

Supposedly...

We'll see what I can find locally.

 

If you're coming to Reno any time soon we've got a set sitting in the shop. Dallas brought them in to trade some parts with Chris (chines R4x4) but chris bailed. Been sitting in my way for 2 weeks... I bet he'd give you a good deal.

 

I will keep it in mind, don't know when I'd make it to Reno next though. If I don't find something locally I may have to do that. Or send em fastenal.

 

The sooner I get this done the sooner I can bring it to you for a rear bumper and whatever else. Cool guy stuff.

 

Honestly, maybe I should plan out a trip to Reno. I've been craving a burger, a specific burger and I've been trying to place where it's from. It suddenly hit me, I want Scoopers -bad. No other burger can fill that hole.

Edit: but now I remember this is a Zaxby's in Ogden and I only get Zaxby's when I'm in GA. OH GOD SO MUCH WANT

 

Scoopers

 

Now I might have to go get scoopers for lunch a take a pic just to tease you guys

 

Not cool.
I wonder how it would fare after shipping?

 

Probably not too great!

 

is it just me, but are you going to be able to get it out of the garage?

 

Can't even open garage fully right now. Neighbor has some 8 lug rollers, air em down amd roll it out. No worries!

 

That's the yeast baby!

 

So I got my DOM in. WAY TOO MUCH of it. Oh well... it's only expensive as fuck.

So I need to get the links all made and swapped out. I have plenty of 1.5" DOM to sleeve the lowers but I'd have to have it turned down some, that seems like a real pain in the dick.

Got some new springs and bushings. It's fun torching them out and then beating out the sleeves with the air hammer.

Came up with a list of everything I could think of I need to finish.

Fuel tank -- straps, skid, barb fittings, fill neck, sender

Clutch -- pedal and bucket, master/slave/line

Brakes -- lines, union - metric to standard OR chevy master cylinder

Mount, plumb, and wire Radiator

Intercooler -- frozenboost?

A/C compressor - adapt lines to yota stuff

Hydro assist - Ram, lines, mounts, tap box, drill steering arm

Exhaust and intake - snorkel to air box with deckplate mod?

Cap shock tower where I notched it for steering linkage

Drivelines and yokes or flanges

Battery tray(s), batteries, and cables

starting and charging system wiring - alternator external regulator

shifters

bump can mounts

bump stops for leafs

rear shocks

gauges and wiring

throttle cable

skid plates

front locker and shafts

traction bar
