shiiiiiit

 

Always have dug those wheels on cruisers, I had my set on my LC to burn off the rest of the KO2s before I sold them.







Also removed this crap and replaced it with new OEM crap today on the LC....



Is it evident I have an oil leak haha

 

Psssst, your shocks are upside down

 

@Kwikvette the rock island 1911 is now getting worked on. 4-6 weeks hopefully sooner.

 

It definitely needs some love. I'm gonna throw a new shifter and pedals on it at see how I like the drivetrain

 

I have bought one each, chrome (FR only) and black primer (FR and RR). Both fit very well.

I liked the look of the black primer so well, I am still running it that way two years later. Minimal fading and no rust.

The chrome one however, I am not so pleased with the finish. The chrome is showing signs of cracking after only about a year or so. Looked great at first, but just not holding up too well.

 

This isn't as nice of a deal as the 80s I was seeing for $1000 sitting on ranches out here in 2017. I could technically go buy it for it's axles and then part it out. Then again I'm thinking a Wagoneer Dana 44 front and leaf spring setup might be best for the flatbed.

 

There's not a whole lot of anything worth a damn in an 89-92 model... most had semi float axles, no lockers, the 4.slowasfuck, hydro trans, no viscous center diff.... the list goes on.

 

As much as I'm a diehard Cruiser guy, it would take a bit to convince me to take a '91 or' 92 80 series Land Cruiser.
Now the 88-90 62 series.... Sign me up

 

I'd like a 62 as well, the 4.0 is way more tolerable in those, they're a good bit lighter.

 

Yeah that's what I figured. I'm aware of the less than desirable engine of those years. Didn't realize lockers weren't as common and all that. Different approach from the 3rd gen 4Runners losing lockers later in their generation.

Some high school kid dailys a 62 here in town. It was clean when I first saw it but he's been in a few fender benders now.

 

93 was the first year for front and rear lockers in the 80s, and unfortunately they had to be ordered with them, so they're rare. Took a while to find mine

 

Also you would expect a motor that ancient in a 60 series.... In the 80, it's just terrible.
What I think would be sweet is the 2UZ in a 62 series, oh man. And leave it all stock, hell you prolly gain an inch of front spring lift from swapping out that old iron boat anchor of an engine for the 4.7L

 

What? Seriously ? Lol.....

 

@Speedytech7 im almost positive I installed them correct

 

Technically yes, but on gas charged shocks like those it doesn't really matter

 

Yeah that is clean. A Texas 62 series would be a great find

 

@Speedytech7 your right look the labels are upside down..... shit

 

I’ll change it next time I’m under there. Can’t believe I dropped the ball on that LOL.

 

It happens more than you'd think and most just leave it as is lol
So no sweat
