I was thinking more along the lines of hazards. Rocks, seaweed, currents and having to concentrate on multiple things at once. Plus when you bail, seems much more difficult to recover. Now maybe I am wrong and it would be more like comparing learning to snowboard on powder rather than hard pack...

I would certainly like to but as a 40+yr old I am wise enough to know I best know how to kitesurf first in order to be safe. The plan though is to be doing some surfing too on the west coast. Cheers

Been acquiring lot's of parts for my 68. NOS fog lights, NOS back up light, NOS door handles, NOS wheel cylinders, NOS wiper arms and lot's more. I just got these NOS mud flaps. I like them! Cheers

Progress My goal here is to have two rolling chassis, the 64 and the 67. On top of this everything stripped down, bagged and tagged ready to restore all the various parts. All body parts we plan to use need to be stripped of every single part in prep of sand blasting. I am nearly there...

Myself, it definitely was. Right around the time I went from a taco to an FJ60 my buddy got an 80 and built it up. Loved his truck but just could not stand the engine. We took a couple of trips in his 80, the stock motor is not terrible just not for me. At the time I got the 60 I was looking at...

Cool, thanks for the info and reply. I do plan on a lesson but that is 800+ miles south of the border. Got to get there first! :) I was reading about board size too. Seems they are sized by not only rider height and weight but also for wind conditions as well as type of riding. Bigger planes...

Thanks for the reply. I have been watching lot's of videos and doing lots of reading. Honestly the basics don't look to hard to get down. I guess it is all about kite control. And once you start riding I suppose remembering everything is simply a matter of repetition. I could certainly see...

I am headed down to Baja next month for 4 weeks or so. Been thinking about trying kitesurfing. Any kitesurfers out there? I been an avid snowboarder for 20yrs, done a little windsurfing and am pretty much a beginner surfer. Kitesurfing looks like a lot of fun though and gives options when the...

Nice, have fun! Colombia is also one of my favorite countries. Cheers

Beats me. To big of a question with not enough info. Do you like your Mog? What is it worth? Do you like working on trucks? Do you like trying to find parts for rare vehicles? Are you hoping to make money on this venture? Do the Patrols run, drive? Rust or rot issues? What do you want to do...

Ebay Australia is where you will find a clutch. Excedy makes one for the G60 Patrol. OEM is not available anymore. Be ready to pay some money, an Excedy clutch is over $500. Cheers

I guess I am just good at searching the internet. The IP from Spain I found on Ebay, Spain. The other IP somebody I know via forums msg me and said they could get me one from their homeland. That happens a lot, people msg me offering help or to sell me items. Other sources include Ebay...

Ya I am like that, cram a bunch into a tight schedule. I can push back the departure date for Baja though if I need to. And you are right, with other projects it will be tough. I think just about the time I leave one of the trucks I am restoring will be going to the body shop, so good timing on...

Generally true but compared to what? 15mpg compared to low 20's of a small diesel? Everybody likes to say they get good mpg in their Taco but man mine was horrible. Granted it was modified and heavy but that is kind of what we do here with our trucks. I guess I agree with your statement but just...

Just picked up from another forum member a SD33T from a Scout. The engine looks to be in decent shape. I am just using it for parts though. What I was really after was the Scout engine plate and bellhousing, I need this badly for another SD33T I have. Any ways, with this spare engine here now...

Well planning a trip to Baja in the Cruiser first week in January. I am really ready for a good trip, have not been outside the US since 2011. Last trip in Baja was back in 2009. I spent nearly 30 days there. This trip I am thinking 3 weeks, maybe 4 if I can swing it. Plan right now is me, the...

NOS fog lights!! yellow glass lens, Everwing, made in Japan. :wings:

turbo injection pump #1 and #2 :victory:

Well, this project has not seen a lot of love the last month or two. I have been busy with the normal job (pays for my life) as well as getting my shop in order and working on another clients Patrols. Nissan made ALOT and I mean a lot of changes to these trucks during the 1960's. Pretty major...

funky problem, no thank you. You can keep the roaches! I would think all the other citters in Oz would take care of them. Spiders don't eat them? On on the topic of Aussie spiders. I imported a truck from Oz in 2012. Tearing it down, I found a big nasty Hunstman spider. Good thing it was...
