I'm currently working on a ln65 myself, mainly panel and paint. Your videos really help with planning my next step and what the standard is for my work. So thank you, from one hilux enthusiast to another. :)

@6thGearGarage 2 месяца назад

I wish I could get my hands on a ln65... but we never had them in North America.

Lazer for rust removal as a household item is a pretty good idea!

@6thGearGarage 2 месяца назад

They're not cheap yet, but they do pay for themselves pretty quickly in time saved.

@talltom1129 Месяц назад

Came here after watching your latest, when you pulled the cab. Never got the notification about this one, so thought I'd let you know. RU-vid has been doing this lately.

@6thGearGarage Месяц назад

Hmmm good to know. I've heard of that happening to other channels as well. Maybe the algorithm is upset with me...

I have the same valve cover and it had imperfections like that too. I used VHT black wrinkle paint and it looked okay but started to flake off. I pulled the valve cover off my 87 which is less rounded and more square and sanded it down going from coarse to fine and then I polished it to a mirror shine. I should have put a 2k clear on it when I was done but didn’t and now it’s no longer pretty like it was. Get a later 22r valve cover and polish it! It would look really nice. I also ordered another factory 22r sticker.

@6thGearGarage 2 месяца назад

I would try ceramic coating after polishing. Not sure how well clear coat will stick to a smooth polished surface.

@robertbevilacqua9693 2 месяца назад

Leave valve cover be. Don't like white especially. In engine bay.. As long your happy with it. Good job.

@JustRedDude 2 месяца назад

This looking great the couple questions I have tho. I see that on those side panels there's an old seal still attached. Why you didn't removed that and repaint. I don't know but I'm curious. Should this surface actually needed to be paint? Will there be any rust problems in the future?

@6thGearGarage 2 месяца назад

Those seals on the top edges are a sticky rubbery/tarry strip that add a layer of cushioning for the fender that bolts on top. No need to remove/replace them as they don't dry out and are completely hidden.

@blainerohlfs 2 месяца назад

Are you going to part out the rusty frame at all? Still looking for a Pittman arm for my 2wd 87 and was wondering if the one from the 80 is the same. mine has power steering if that makes a difference.

@6thGearGarage 2 месяца назад

I read that the 79-83 is different than 84+(I actually need the Pitman arm from the Ohio truck because the Oklahoma truck didn’t have one.) I will part out any good bits from the Ohio frame eventually, but first I’m going to use that frame as a place to set the 4runner body when I restore that truck.

@Theferg1 Месяц назад

Hey great video and info. What’s the name of the company you got the paint from? Thanks

@6thGearGarage Месяц назад

They're called ERA Paints, link to their site is in the description. Thanks for watching!

@deebee3901 2 месяца назад

Everything on that car looks better in white than blue. How do I convince you to spray the outside white? Excellent work BTW!

@6thGearGarage 2 месяца назад

Thanks 👍 I’m still so far away from finishing the body that I haven’t thought about getting around to painting it… but I’m leaning toward white or blue, since one of those would match the blue interior.

@tedbastwock3810 2 месяца назад

Will the laser also remove remnants of a gasket?

@6thGearGarage 2 месяца назад

Yes. It won’t remove the entire gasket, but if there is a little bit left stuck to the surface, it does remove it.

@99fxr68 2 месяца назад

that laser cleaner looks awesome..Id love to get one, but I bet it costs a fortune

@6thGearGarage 2 месяца назад

Yeah they’re a lot cheaper than a few years ago, but still start at $4k-$5k

@drewfleming7065 2 месяца назад

Still waiting for you to do a valve cover in flat red wrinkle...like a Ferrari...Think the defects are oil in the cracks....Thank for the heads up on the paint...store bought never lasts...You know they say dont eat spaghetti wearing white?? I have a white truck/engine bay and would do a different color to hide the dirt ect but does look nice..for now

@6thGearGarage 2 месяца назад

I have some wrinkle paint… this valve cover might be a good candidate if I can’t clean up the crack. Yeah, I’m crazy for the white engine bay, but I think it will look good with the cleaned up 20r.
