Another early morning headlight ride in Tehachapi.

Here we go

Very nice! Gotta say I was pretty pleased with my recent @Cruiser Corps seat recover project, too.

Thanks @Cruiser Corps - great covers as always.

Maybe it can’t believe how bad your/our milage is! And defaults to “you better get gas!”

Made headway on the vintage AC install this week. Mounted the condenser to the radiator housing. Had to remove spot welded cross support for it. Mounted the compressor. Just waiting on a belt before I get everything back in place.

Pushed her out of the shop on Friday. Needed to knock the dust off. She's starting to come together.

Picked up a used Rig'd UltraSwing Mega-Fit in excellent condition which came with a RambleRack with the long stinger and Add-on rack. Got a killer deal. I expected to sell the bike racks since I've already got a 1Up, but after putting them...

1st gen

That’s great, congratulations!

thanks for the update, I am nearing the finish line to start mine. Your build really mapped out what I needed for my project.

A little update. About 9000 miles in the last year and nothing major. I had to replace the transfer case input seal and chased some speed wobble issues that turned out to be a wheel that had thrown its weight but nothing else serious. Glad I...

Nothing. Looks like a trailer company produced them. They do work well though.

Cheers to the next generation

The top might not see the road again but don't worry, another generation of little ones is already thoroughly enjoying it!

Top looks great Alex! Too bad it won’t see another generation of little ones under it but hopefully it will work as a template. If you start having them produced I want to buy #2. When it started getting thin and ripping I started sewing...

Great test run. All is good. Peppy fella.

Good morning, folks. I appreciate all the input and comments. I’m aware that the truck has a pre 76 tub. It has a 4spd tranny and front bench seats. My 40 came from Costa Rica and it was picked up from the port of houston 5 years ago. The Rack...

Yea at first I thought it a was the COMMO rig from Hell.

For some reason your pictures didn’t show when I first saw your post. Beautiful BJ40. The weight of the hard top and accessories up top aren’t helping I would guess. Love the fish antennas.

I have a few questions for the 40 gurus on the forum.: Q1- Were 40s sold from the factory (factory base specs) with a slight rear-end sag? My 76 BJ40 has slight rear-end sag, about 1.5” lower than the front snd it’s beginning to bother me a bit...

Yes on the 33’s and no idea on the window. They did have purple tint on them if that’s any help 😂 I always wondered where they came from.

The old guy slopped paint on it in places the patina was showing with plans to have it painted one day that never happened. I'm not going to try to remove it.

This one owner California truck is in the shop. Owner bought it new when he was 25. Going to work on making the original paint pop After

I’m sure it will level out nicely and give you the lift you want. You have to remember that a lot of hands have been on that 50 year old vehicle and there’s no telling what someone may have done or if they are just worn out original springs...
