Finally got it home. Didn't need the fender I bought, all the body panels re-aligned themselves after pulling the frame back into square. The hood doesn't have it's new cushions so it's sitting directly on the bib.

I built a bumper. It's pretty easy when you're social-distanced at home, but home has a welder and a nice garage. When last I posted, I had gotten my steel order delivered, but hadn't started building. Well here's the whole bumper build in one...

slowing working on the rig....repacked birfield, new rotor, pads, cleaned hubs, tie rods, etc. One side down on to the next.

There’s a bunch of us running 10.50’s on the stock 5.5 rims. Personally I’m over 10 years on them without issues on or off road

That is the reason for my question. It has been too many decades since I replaced the original sending unit with a Stewart Warner unit to remember whether the rubber gasket was supposed to be assembled with sealant or should seal without that...

I would have kept the Porsche.

Thinking sentimentality may be an emotion that could get you exploded when it comes to gas tanks. I’d replace it.

I think the biggest challenge with these LS Swaps is planning ahead so you aren’t having to redo anything. I was planning on a new wire harness, Dakota Digital gauges and a BP Automotive stand alone LS harness. Throw in a new column and steering...

Safe, Reliable and Fun. Depending on the day, order is rearranged.

@peesalot - Man, I TOTALLY misread what you typed at first. I don't know if my eyes were slightly blurry or my bifocals just weren't lined up right, but I totally thought you said "My balls sit right where the heater blower is in August" and I...

There's a provision for another PTO gearbox which is attached to the back of the transfer case input shaft. (the stamped steel cover is removed). The drive shaft out of this box extends to the rear, and I think was used in one application to...

For the spare you may want to index it one bolt hole higher too. I used 1”x2” stock. My 33x 9.5x15’s were tall enough to interfere with the spare lock down lever.

Thanks for the warm welcome y’all! to answer above, I do enjoy getting my hands dirty on vehicles. I don’t have the time available to do a whole restore anymore. We moved from Texas to Florida and I sold my 911 prior to the move. I took that...

Stock location, sort of. Stock tray but custom attachment structure underneath, still all entirely removable. Pic soon after I got it running, wiring has been cleaned up now

Ah. I have converted to '76 FJ40 disc brakes in the front, but running my rebuilt drum brakes in the rear with a brake booster up front. I like your setup. Very clean and looks like it came from the factory that way.

Correct. Not power brakes. 4 wheel disc.

More pics. Proud moments here.

I believe the Toyota bolts were M11x1.25, which are almost identical to UNF 7/16-20. Standards for class 2A/2B threads allow for looser fit, particularly over short thread engagements. Others have pointed out that M11x1.25 bolts are not common...
