Hello there, We had the same thing happen last night w our Sons 2004 LC. It was and had been raining all day when I was going to bed around 930 I noticed the headlights and fog lights were on! Pretty bizarre but we got his keys out and checked lights were definitely in off positions. So he...
Got more room to stack firewood, Framed up a bottom rack in between old fence posts that are in good shape @10’ centers. So now new wood rack will be 6’x 10’ sections. The old redwood fence is rotted and falling down. Luckily the old property owners put up a chain link fence around our whole...
We’re pretty set for the winter! Got my whole 5’high 40’ long wood rack full w at least two fresh split cords on deck. Been doing this for years, How many cords do you guys think are in the rack? Wood is 12-18” long single stacks. There are 5-bays all 5’x8’?
That’s a great looking setup! Very nice 40! I have a plate made up for my 8274 and was thinking the same thing using the stock bumper. My bumper has flat tow brackets welded on as well, So you can take the tow setup on & off. I like how you notched the V there looks awesome! I also see that you...
Our 14 pulled tow duty w the rented splitter. A bit of homesteading up here firewood is expensive! Got the wood spitter for the weekend for 120$ and neighbor next store cut down a bunch of oak trees. So I’ve been splitting a bunch of wood, Got like 2 cords split stoked! The big pile is my yard...
Saw this cool old 40 today at Neilsons Garage in Cayucos. Looks like a great shop! I’ve been by the shop before and have noticed a few cruisers there. Waves looked great too at the Pier, California dreaming! Check out the guy on the other side going right, He got a good one!
Finally got around to changing the oil on our 14. Did the air and cabin filters, Cleaned the battery cables had some bad corrosion. Took off connections and soaked in baking soda water mix, worked great and wire brushed w terminal wire brush tool. Put is back together and sprayed w the purple...
So did you end up w the Ko2’s? That last pic where you said done were the old Mt tires? The Ko3’s are trickling out and look pretty cool but sizes are super slim. I’ve always been a huge Bfg guy all my trucks have had the Ko2’s, Except my 93 80 had bfg 315 Muds and my 69 40 still has some old...
Got my Kline soft top installed a few days ago as we finished up a last little heat wave. Just in time for our 1st rain of the season yesterday! Finished up w the doors today, Not 100% water proof but it will make it way easier now w the ol tarp cover! Gotta get it in the garage soon is the...
I did the Adavance handling shackle reversal, Thought it was pretty cool at the time. Like you said not a whole lot of info back then. Mines still on my 40 w old Gut buster 4” Rancho springs and shocks! Looks like you still got yours in this pic, What didn’t you like about it? I’ve never had...
Got my soft top installed today! Been a long time since I’ve had it on. Pretty straight forward trying to remember the steps. I laid it out in the sun wile I screwed the frames on. Going to mess w the doors tomorrow.
Really need to get my 40 running again everything’s there but it’s been...
As early as I could come up with seeing I bought my 69’ 40 in 97’. From around 98/99 Hollister Hills OHV area Gilroy,Ca. I posted this pic up in the current soft tops thread today as I still have the old K-Line topper in good shape. Fun times!
I have an older K-line soft top w full doors that convert to 1/2 doors. They were made in Colorado, I’m sure there’s a few more out there they are very stout! Mine has been in my garage for ever stored up in the rafters. I’ve been just using the 1/2 doors w a bikini top when my 69’ 40 was...
Hey, The sleeping platform is just 3/4” ply on the bed edges w the Hest mattress. It’s got like 9” underneath for storage and is nice w the Softopper. Very similar to the nice Bam platforms for sale on Tacoma World. Works great for my surfboard under also!
Not sure what pic you want to know...
Is steering rack sold? Damm trees sorry about your LC! Any suspension upgrades or is it stock?
I am up in the Santa Cruz mountains and it was the worst winter ever! That wind storm was terrifying, we had a lot of homes in our neighborhood cut in 1/2 by downed trees. I have never drove in...
