Re: The Colorado BS thread

I know a guy with a 79 KP60, Detroit and 4.88s... :eyes:

You are still here!?!? Good to see.:cheers:

I’m an occasional stalker/lurker searching for free JZ.

Nevermind the van that says "Free Candy," would you like to pet my youkneecorn??? :laugh:

Good to see that you are still out there, lurking, Chris.

True.



But still compared to the 78/79 KP 60...cheap :lol:



Those still go for $900+...on this side of the US $1k minimum.

Oh don’t disagree. I know you know the differences.
Just know most folks talk about regular sd60’s and call them super 60’s. The supers are something fierce. No need unless big power turning big tires.

Re: The Colorado BS thread

Gents any thoughts on where to get or what to use as a large rubber exhaust hander replacement. The one on the trans cross.

I figure if something sizeable existed I can twiddle it to fit and drill out the hanger insert.

Re: The Colorado BS thread

I have an 88 Ford HP KP D60 w/ factory 4.10’s that’s disassembled and missing brakes sitting in storage for my build. I really contemplate selling it and buying a 99-04 SD D60 for my truck. Then use the C’s and knuckles off of the D50 to build a front 9” for the buggy.

Anyone ever run road 21 trail?

I have no business going near it lol, just saw it online and curious if anyone knows it?

Re: The Colorado BS thread

All I remember is it was like someone took a giant bucket of VW sized rocks and threw them into a creek bed. We got lost a few times on it and I got the Jeep wedged on it’s side between two rocks.

What’s the black trim stuff everyone uses on cut fenders?

It’s local ish to me. Haven’t driven yet only rode along. There are usually a variety of lines to pick you poison for difficulty. Apparently a good rain will change the trail significantly, but that’s most

Thanks.
I’ll be back out this week with the Tacoma trying to draw some attention during ejs. See how she does with new front diff. First time out there with all the new stuff.

Door molding for the edge for door dings. I remember getting it at the parts store. I used it once. Looked nice but caught dirt in it and made my fender start to rust

We use lawn edging cover from Home Depot.

Re: The Colorado BS thread

Amazing what a little concentrate degreaser and pressure washer with hot water hooked up can do :greensmok

Put in a reman'd/recycled battery in Nikki's XJ yesterday. Had to trim the battery tray and make a custom hold down rod for the Group 34 battery, but it works! Decided to give her engine bay some love since it was rather...dirty. Pressure washer also cleans out the radiator overflow bottle reeeeal well

It seems when I attach some folks can and some can't see them not sure why . The pic was of a 46 usd sticky these and the 43 mickey Thompson sticky I would trade in the blink of an eye in place of the Trepadors as I still don't like skinny tires and both the Mickey Thompson and USD are wide enough to look good vs the rest of the stickys ...the 46 usd only runs $10 less per tire than what 4wp gouged me for on the Trepadors.

And both of those tires will suck compared to Treps, let alone Red Labels.

If they're the 46" Sticky I'm thinking of...they're laughable so far.

Mickey Thompsons last I checked weren't for hard technical wheeling...
