Droved 50 miles one way to pick up all the smog parts I need to make my '77 fj40 cali legal. When I say all, I mean all including the carb, dissy and the carb fan. All this came off of a pig so the bracket for the fan won't mount correctly so if I can't find the right bracket I'll have to rig something up for the meanwhile, but all in all it was a good weekend and worth every mile.

Phil- that bezel is freshly painted. Not by me.
Glad to hear you are at the end.

Discovered the welds holding the spring perches on the rear axle house have all broken. My rear axle is twisting inside the U-bolts! I thought the pinion was tipped up more than usual and the clunking was strange too. Welding tonight.
Possible broken King pin bearing, good thing I have a rebuild kit on hand. Teardown following welding. 
I wish my days had 8 more hours in them.

Fixed all of that stuff. Pre-ran our trail for our Cabin Fever event on Sat. Our event is 2 weeks later this year and we didn't have as much snow so we're going into areas that weren't accessible last year. It starts with a mean climb up to an abandoned lookout site. Lots of snow in the shade still. There's also a near vertical 12' drop off at one point, that was interesting. All told, we had 4 rigs and no one broke anything.
This coming weekend is our run!

I got my engine back from the machine shop on Wednesday. I got the block and head painted up yesterday, and hopefully i'll get it on the stand next weekend and start putting it together. I'm aiming for late May-early June to have it back on the road.

What kind of vehicle did the arm pad come out of? Looks good.
Are you using the stock heater?
