I forgot to mount the OBD-II port, I opted to mount it under the glovebox near the ECU.

After trying several different locations to put the relay/fuse box, I determined the glove box worked the best for my application. The glove box offers the best protection from the elements and keeps the foot well uncluttered. Since the battery...

Spent some time in the garage today, got the battery mounted. Bolted a mounting plate to the factory holes in the firewall where the fan used to mount and welded the battery mount to it. The battery is mounted very solid and not going anywhere...

Well, it seems that I'm becoming a bit of a Land Cruiser hoarder - at least temporarily. A few months ago I added a 1971 FJ40 to the stable, but because it was a long ways away, I haven't even been able to give it a once-over. That changed this...

Progress has been slow, I haven’t touched the wiring in quite a while. Passenger side tube fender is tacked, still need to make some adjustments to make it right. I haven’t tackled the driver side until I am happy with the passenger side. This...

I used this chart this morning.

You never know!

I mounted the pump on the passenger side of the engine, the alternator is on the driver side. I made my own mount and purchased the hose and fittings from Hoseman in Santa Fe Springs. They told me they are used on tractors, skid steers etc. so...

Picked up the new (to me) tilt column last night. More parts to source and prep work to do before I can install it. I have this donor column to scavenge the pieces that are missing from the new column. Not using the sweet hot rod billet wheel...

Went to Big Bear on a club outing, weekend before last, I have not wheeled up there in 17 years. The trails have changed quite a bit and it was nice to be out of the city and in the trees. The 40 performed great, but that big ass factory boat...

Last...

Burn map, now at 350 acres and spotting. The blue area, lower right, is approximately where we camped. Appears quite a bit of the trail has been burned out.

Report from earlier

Holcomb Valley is burning, the Gold Fire, is currently at 30 acres. Reports have it located near 3n10, John Bull trail.

1 1/2” higher

Got the passenger side fender tacked together, it still needs a little tweaking and I am going to add another cross piece. Hopefully the other side goes much smoother!

Sale pending

Oh by the way it is NFS 🤣

Damn it Ken, you’re not suppose to see that!!!!

Capri blue hood from my 1972 40, has a few dents (can be removed), zero rust, nice hood latches and windshield bumpers. Hood spear NOT included. $350 no shipping

I can not find any info or photos on the orientation of this bracket, does the fish mouth go toward the inside or outside of the apron?

Trying to make heads or tails of MT’s “so called” instructions on their website. They are clear as mud, so I’m going to wing it at this point. The only thing that made any sense was the straight edge and spacer blocks. Since the front fenders...

I have taken a hiatus from this project for various personal reasons, but now getting back on it once again. Today I swapped out the original, dented up hood, bent front bib and bezel with parts removed from “Snotz”. Trying to see how many...

Club run in Big Bear, great weather, great trails, great friends!

A few photos from the “squeeze”. Only minor paint loss.
