@Catching Neutral set me up on a primo spot. I have more vids than pics but getting to see these guys is definitely one of better perks of living here in the good ole Panhandle.

He bought some Red Snapper with him and is now Red's favorite person

It's more about keeping all of these things insured. I still have 2 kids on my insurance and it's just crazy how much I spend.

Hello, I would not blame you if you decided to keep it... Just my opinion. Juan

Oh yeah I drive this thing every other day at least 50 miles. I alternate it and my 80. Love driving the shorty.

Light came on last night on the way home from the club meeting. I pushed it all the way back to town because I had a $1 off fuel points I needed to use. 28 miles after the light came on I still had 1.5 gallons left It took 22.5 gallons 🤓

There is a rattle in the passenger door I'm going to have to get yall to help me fix. You can hear it in the video. After I got back from the ride I put it up on the rack and tore into it. First job will be swapping the 4.11s fit 3.70s...

So today I took it out for a long drive to see what I thought it needed verses what Wesley thought it needed. First impressions is that it's a damn fine 40. Very tight. Quiet. Valves are clattering a bit but that is on the list. Power is...

He dropped it yesterday with a nice list of upgrades and service items I spent the day yesterday pulling a 3.70 out of a 60 axle I bought for this purpose a few months ago. Drums were hopelessly frozen so I had to cut the drums off. Not fun...

Wesley contacted me a few months back to set up some spa time for his 40 here at the shop. We've conversed for years on Mud so I knew he's been into 40s for a long time. We came up with a plan and he dropped it off yeaterday. First things...

Making a plan to mount my ammo can center console. Still can’t believe how nice these floors are..No rust in this baby.

I can’t believe this is still on the market. Someone needs to fulfill their Land Cruiser dream. Great job Nolan.

Since changing the gears in the transfer case for a more hwy friendly ratio I had not been able to get a good mpg result. So yesterday I did a 300mi loop-Hatcher pass to Willow and back. Was a beautiful day. Topped off today and it penciled out...

Enjoying the barn doors in the back, though still somewhat awkward entering:existing due to the short top/door. Still better than crawling over the tail gate for bed time or getting out of the weather.

And a Loon family, but only with one chick🤷‍♂️😐

Common Merganser family, with 3 mothers 🤷‍♂️

Good weekend camping with friends, with a camping trailer 🙂, camped at Tenderfoot campground on Summit lake on the Seward Highway. Kayaked all three days. Yesterday was calm and overcast and in the 50’s, perfect kayaking weather. This morning we...

Another view of the fold down table on the passenger side door

Got the bottom piece spray liner’d

One thing I never did on this one was front brakes. They were getting kinda low so I took that off the table. Terrain Tamer stuff. Nice.

Also, finally recharged the A/C system after replacing most of the major components (see earlier posts). I've never really done any a/c work until this truck, so fortunately, there are several good videos about it. Anyway, the system held a...

Just been doing a few odds and ends to the truck lately. Got some new tie rod hardware, lug nuts, and did an alignment.

Since @fireball is incapable of keeping us updated during the 3 months he can drive this thing
