Hi, I've owned a fj62 for 25 years, did a Lot of K's, I noticed the amount of steering correction you needed to make while driving, maybe I've got a bit of a fix for you. Have a check to see if the steering shaft going into the steering housing from the steering wheel has forwards and backwards play while turning the steering wheel slightly? If it has, there is a big nut on the rear of the housing where the shaft goes into the housing, it's been designed to be adjusted. You'll see. that will adjust that bearing holding the shaft, tighten it the necessary amount to not have play and you won't believe the improvement in driving the thing, it will steer much more stable with less correction needed. Made a big difference on mine. Also, you might want to adjust the adjuster on top on the front of the housing to take play out. (Not too much!) They can actually drive real nice ones setup right. Very nice build by the way, nice job.
Adam I’ve got a build challenge for you- in my mind it’s the next evolution after Lance and Lazarus… a 80 series chassis with a dual cab converted 40 Series body. Or a 40 series troopy on 80 series chassis but with doors for back seat passengers and an engineered second row seat. You guys would smash it out! Oh and yes I reckon you need a hoist big time- so do I! Love the content, love the banter, love style of your builds! Keep up the awesome work fellas.
Lovely Ep and maintenance on the 60 guys, Gee 2 ton behind the 60 with gear in the back and people in the 4wd must be right on GVM and GCM and rear axle weight,
Love the build series, ive got an 86 hj61 im tidying up and you guys share heaps of knowledge!! What front and rear mudflaps are you using?? Hard to find ones thay don suit flares Cheers
For all the mods and expense done, I’m surprised you haven’t done the rear brake conversion to disc - easy to do and all Toyota parts - toss the drums.
When will truth about airbags be told they don’t ride soft due to captive air 10 lbs or 50 lbs unless you remove valves bumpstop. Springs need to be set correctly better to remove rubber and std rear mount to diff weld 2 to 3 mm plate to diff with 15mm hole or 17mm ie 1mm clearance for centre bolt and strong back lower mount stop bending around leaf spring. Reason is ubolts will be pulled on by bags forever getting loose as more tension is required regularly checking tension. Efs good basic shocks tho note hoist will be good but as a spring works I haven’t used hoist 25 years just high lift trolley jack truck stands . Own two sixty one with fg turbo running more work to go another not sure what put in but will go 5 leaf top and 2 overloads set so top leaves are clear of overloads with koni shocks 🙀

Cheers, that's good advice, we'll be sure to check that out.

Thanks for tuning in Mate. I'm very close to doing something just like you've mentioned.
@ looking forward to it legend!
Mate, love the planting of the seed and watering it through the episode, it will grow into a large tree. Bring on the hoist.
I try my best. haha
Maybe you should consider getting a hoist. Gr8 work Adam, especially lying on the ground
New sub big 60 fan sold my build few years ago I want it back
Miss my 60 but unfortunate she didn't fit the keep even tho she was the most effort to restore

Thanks for tuning in mate. And yeah it will be right on the limit.

Cheers
Thanks for tuning in mate and I'm glad we can help. they are just a standard tray back mudflap cut and shut and then bolted on.

Thanks for watching, to be honest I have never really thought about it.
Did you maintain the stock motor or did you upgrade it, if so, with what?

Love the episode but the intro a tad long
Fair call mate. its designed for the people that are new to the channel or build series.
