Here's a small cache of parts that come with the Patrol. Not sure if those points are right for the Patrol. They look exactly the same, but I haven't tried them as mine is ok. Picked them up on eBay probably 10 years ago. The seller thought they were correct so I couldn't pass. I know that reflector is a unicorn and the repair manual is clean!

Thanks for the info on the wheels and tires Mark!

What lift did you shoot for when you ordered the springs?

I’d have to go back and see if it says on the invoice, but I believe I went 3 inches. Maybe 2.5. That’s about all I could - or wanted - to do without having crossmember issues.

No more than 2" is recommended. Other members here have attested to problems involved with going more than 2.

Man, look at that engine bay.... it looks exactly how the engine bay for a cared-for 53 year old vehicle should look :clap:

I really dig the custom patio-carpeting floor mats. I'm stealing that idea for my 65 build, I think... :mrgreen:

More free advice (because typing is a lot easier than selling a car, HAHAHA) but some pics with all the doors and top installed (yeah, I know it's still summer, but still... ;) )

One more side-topic question: Are those black spoke wheels 15x7's? or 15x8's?
