FJ40... progress
The 40 project took a step forward today... I FINALLY got the H55 5 speed mounted up to the engine. I had finished rebuilding the transfer case 4 months ago. After getting Woody and Emmett (my sons age 15 and 13) to help me take the Aqualu tub off I cleaned, primed and painted the frame in the neighborhood of the tranny/TC. Then today, with the help of a couple of local non-cruiser guys, we kicked, pushed, tugged and cursed the combo into place!
Started the engine and the outputs turn so I figure I'm good to go.
There is a long way to go to get this back on the road but at least the ball is rolling...

Well I feel bad that i didn't powder coat it...  or even paint the tranny but I'm having enough trouble getting this much done. If I add in detailing stuff it'll REALLY never get done.
I'm pretty excited to get even this basic work done... it's been a long time coming.

Well I got a good amount done today. I removed the rear axles and springs. I torched out the bump stop brackets, the rotted rear corner supports and the rotted rear spring hangers.

The rear hangers had been jury-rigged by some PO. One looks like it was fabbed from scratch... (I got a little over zealous with the torch and cut a bit into the rear bumper... it's ok though because I cam going to be reinforcing all of this as I put it back together... boxing and bracing and replacing as needed.)
