Not much....Drove it to work a few days, to the park, to the grocery store, to the High School and the ball field. I also eased the seat back with today's late afternoon sun and watched my son on the High School Baseball Field.
It's nice having reclining seats. I almost caught a few "Z,Z,z,z,z,z's" as the sun was heating my 40 and I was all kicked-back.

Started tearing the engine down to pull it out. Also I discovered a tiny hole in the side of my oil pan, is that supposed to be there?
Today i took my two ladies (BJ40 and wife) to saturday cruise on the iceroad.
We have Finlands longest iceroad that is on see ice, not too long way from our house. It´s 10km´s long and goes from mainland to island called Hailuoto.

Oil pan holes come in three shapes: punched in from being hit by something, punched out from internal havoc, and neutral, from rust scaling. Of course #3 often leads to #2.

How far back can your seat recline? Mine can only go back a little before it hits my b pillar on the cage.
Fixed my emergency flashers, and reconnected my stock oil pressure gauge.
Bee-reminds me of driving in Buffalo, NY after a blizzard!! Cool pic-what year is the BJ40??
Pulled the emission computer and re soldered broken joints. The rig would shut off at times when not accelerating or stumble during acceleration. I would reach under the dash and wiggle the electrical connection and it would smooth out. This would only occur randomly and unable to duplicate.
The cold solder joints appeared to be cracked and required a magnify lens to see the compromised solder joints. Once done, the rig has a very smooth idle. If you fellas are running a smogged rig with a e-computr, pull apart and check your solder connections. You'll be glad you did!

It almost looks like a tiny round drilled hole. No denting or anything to the pan, it's about half way up the drivers side of the sump. No eternal rust, so if it's rusty on the inside.

Kreutz - They go back quite a bit. Maybe these photos will show a little better.
Driving position:
Laid back position:
It's -79. Little bit rough looking, but runs great.

Vent window gaskets and buttons, hard top weatherstripping, windshield hinges and gaskets, new seat belts, painted the knobs so I know what I'm turning on. New bumper extenders, gussets, ,bumper, fairlead and winch. Windshield hold downs, hood spear billet, rear hatch linkage, handle and gaskets. Waiting on a headliner to show. Gonna order door pulls from MarksOFFRoad Monday. Now I need a rear view that fits my bolt hole pattern, fix some wiring issues and then hope it is done for a while. What a week in the garage!!
I Knocked holes through the rust that was my drivers floor, wire wheeled the not so bad rust on the passenger floor, and hosed everything down with rust converter.
Also found a complete newspaper from 1975 under the passenger seat, and some rocks under the gas tank.

How would you rate the seats? No intentional high-jack...Just curious about your overall assessment.
