*yawn* What's the GVW as it sits again? Cheers

The deal is done. This Pinz is going to a new home in California. I am trading for a v8 80-series and some other gear. Cheers

I just wanted to say.... I drove this truck last Saturday. It drives unbelievable! Feels just like a brand new truck. The brakes, steering and suspension are the best I have ever felt in any Cruiser, best in any used car for that matter. Whoever gets this truck is going to be very stoked. Cheers

Deal pending....I am doing a trade but the Pinz is pretty much no longer available. Cheers

I just discovered tonight the truck has what is called Execution 2 diff upgrade. I can't be certain for all three axles without checking more but I know this has been done on at least the rearmost axle. I am also going to assume it was done in 94 when it was prep'ed for the Trophy. The diff...

Update! Details of parts I had machined. As previously mentioned, the stock bearing for the steering box are no longer available, at least in N. America! I took the stock bearing to a bearing supply house and the number on it was matched to this Koyo bearing. They are the same except for the...

Thank you. :) I am not sure what you mean by "worse than the other axle". Neither axle is in bad shape, inside the portal boxes, axle tubes and so forth looks great. While the truck may have been used hard in the past it was well maintained, by myself and previous owners. No water ingress signs...

I decided to tackle a few more things... -Full e-brake rebuild, all of it, levers, pins, bolts, bushings, pads, disc, cable, ect ect. -rearmost axle witches hat rebuild. The witches hat is the locker assembly. New bearing, seal, o-rings and springs for the hydraulic locker. New locker light...

That looks fantastic! Well done.

So is this still for sale or sold!?

Pictures detailing some of the recent work and more on the condition of the truck. New axle boots on all four rear axles. These are the new style factory boots, now black and no longer yellow. new Boggers in front, one trip on them. Dizzy re-furbish in the works, new military cap...

You could always just use it until your mood changes and you feel like a project. The body on it is the only thing I would really call a project.

Video of me driving the truck last weekend so you can see how she goes.... I have another load of parts in route to me now. Basically I am getting this truck up to par and my standards as far as good working usable mechanical condition. -New NOS wiper motor -x6 Doetsch shocks -NOS sealed...

I have a bunch more parts in route... -new brake drum and shoes to finish off the front RHS brake rebuild. -new dizzy cap, military -new spark plugs & rotor -new coil to dizzy wire -new shocks at all six corners! I went with Doetsch from EI. -new wiper motor, ouch! -steering box rebuild kit...

bump The truck received much love the last two weeks. -x4 new exhaust manifold gaskets and centering rings. -all four rear axle boots replaced with one-piece factory boots. New o-rings too. -front RHS brake fully rebuilt, all of it new besides the wheel cylinder. -trans shifter linkage...

Lot's of work done to the truck the last two weeks. Finished up on Saturday so took it out for some fun... Cheers

Thanks for the tip! I sold my 84 v8 FJ60 Cruiser on KSL in April of 2012, I like KSL! Working up to that in a month or two (and possibly Ebay or whatever), right now just listing it on some forums to see if any enthusiasts out there are interested in the truck. I am in no hurry... Cheers

This evening I purchased over $1500 in parts from SAV and I also purchased a new 33" Bogger. The front tires are getting worn down. So I am using the spare (never been on the ground) + new tire for two new front tires. One of the fronts will be used as the spare after this. Once I complete all...

Thank you sir. I really really want to see this truck go to the right person, aka an enthusiast. If some person just wants a Pinz, I don't think this is the truck for them, a ex-Swiss plain jane stocker would suit them better IMHO. This truck deserves to be restored and refurbished. It is that...
