Georg is indeed the man. Puts up with my BS all the time. Today even.

In the thick of... rear main seal, clutch w/ resurfaced flywheel, trans inspection/reseal, T/C rebuild and removing what feels like 100lbs of caked on oily dust/dirt. Have to give a shout out to Georg/ @orangefj45 ~ spent a good 30 minutes...

Stoked for you!!!! And cdd as my wait to swap in some horsepower with you! Georg @ Valley Hybrids & Terrain Tamer

After 6 years I got a wild hair and moved the 47 next to the shop, The motor has always ran fine when I would drive it at some point it seemed to lack power. Well the drivers side brake drum was basically rusted to the shoes. It took all day and...

We also replaced the reverse switch connector from the R151 transmission harness with the correct H151 plug and pigtail that came with the transmission itself. More life skills for Luke. Now we swap pumps.

All the soldering stuff arrived from Amazon. I had about 6 mm on the long side and 3mm on the short side and it was more than enough to make a good strong solder joint. Luke, 14, helped. And of course I wore 4.5x loupes.

LABEL EVERYTHING. I swear to goodness I make this picture every time I take injector lines off. This time I’m adding the reminder that the stay for the fuel overflow return line is the next to last thing off. It’s nice to see that the...

Thanks @Broski. More stuff is happening. Onto the matter of the injection pump: @orangefj45 ‘s spare pump arrived, but the wires on top of the fuel solenoid valve had been cut short. Luckily the connector was easily identified as 90980–11165...

Thanks for reaching out and for your order. We try to keep these gear sets and rebuild kits in stock at all times. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any tech-support for them. I’ve literally built hundreds of these transfer cases...

New shiny pretty things were delivered from Valley Hybrids today. In the end, it's probably a good thing I was forced to buy new gears, and that Cruiser Outfitters was out of stock of the 3.1:1 set I initially impulse ordered, because I then...

After installing Terrain Tamer parabolics on the FJ40, I installed a set on our Troop Carrier. That thread is here.

Thank you for linking!

@fl4031003 no, this is a 79 series manual transmission ECU. No immobilizer. It’s the simplest version of the FTE ECU and the one that is most applicable to a standalone harness. Mick is able to do an immobilizer delete for any of the hundred...

Had a Great week in Stockton and Saturdays Valley Hybrids Truck Show and Swap Meet. @orangefj45 Georg and His Staff at Terrain Tamer and Valley Hybrids did an Awesome job setting everything up and Perry Farms for allowing the Event on their...

Smart move would be take it valley hybrids @orangefj45 and have a pre purchase inspection done then you will know exactly what you are dealing with instead of the guessing game. Well worth the cost potentially saving you from a bad purchase. A...

I just finished this 1983 Troopy that @Meshal had restored in Saudi for a guy in Chattanooga This thing is fine. Really fine. I put my touches on it and the new owner is driving the wheels off of it

Remember the guy that gave me my first pay job with the 1974 FJ40? Well he has 4 boys and the fj40 Was just not cutting it up in Vermont so he decided he needed a Troopy and we got him one. He wanted mechanically sound with patina and a soft...

The Ram45. This thing has a wild small world story where one of my best friends @RustyNailJustin dug it Out of a sheep farm 20 years ago and round about ended up at my shop for a refresh. Later it went to @orangefj45 for a 1HZ swap that was...

Reluctantly listing my 40 trail rig. This was my first foray into the 'crawler' world, and I wheeled her all over. I eventually ended up in a buggy, and, sadly, she's been sitting in the shop since. Seeing if anyone else might want to enjoy...
