I think the tires will clear now :) Still need to massage fitment, high build primer and paint but so far I’m liking it. I also think I’m going to rebuild the inner fender and paint it body color, you see too much engine bay from the side. Last...

I have also been distracted with an addition I have going on my garage. Buddy left his dump trailer here so I could clean up a little.

Detail day-

I can finally contribute. Mine took me to the beer store, the woods, the river, some gravel bars, and back home.

BAT is getting real- Photoshoot is set for late next week. Going through pics on my end, the detail work was pretty time consuming.

That's the one. Friend of mine, lives on the other side of town from me. He has another 40 build called lemonade that's real cool too.

This one? Love this build.... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/project-not-so-nice.349283/post-15655892

Thanks I have seen the nardo grey also. I do like it plus I don’t think it has the metallic. Touch ups would be easier without metallic. Our mixing system should be set up soon and I may play with some other greys.

One of our local guys did his 40 in *i think* audi nardo grey and it looked similar to that. I am in full support of that color choice, it looks awesome.

More bodywork to do but did a test on color. I was going to do capri blue like my other one but decided to try something different. Toyota cement grey. I thought it was more matte but this has a lot of pearl per our paint company. Think this grey...

Thanks, Rob. I am also not a fan of the flat strap as the ones that I have don’t allow for the wrench to get the proper torque as the bar gets in the way as the bolt gets tighter. I have a mixture of flat flanges and u-bolt style hardware...

At work with the trailer for some free firewood

Ready to get this moved. I am still working on the stretch 40 but had a health scare. Couple more Dr appointments to get things figured out. Swapped doors to my stretch 40. These were not bad but the others didn’t require any work. $4500.

Yes Sir.....it was the original barn doors and upper hatch. Welded a piece in the center to make it a wider piece and into a tailgate. Just moved the hinges and cut the one down that is pictured in the center to make it look normal. The latches...

Truck did great all week. Only issue is rt rear tire is rubbing on the tailpipe.

This weeks update: cage and soft top frame are done. Gas tank modified to clear the new transmission hump. Rear suspension is done. Body work also done (except the front fenders - still deciding on OEM fender vs tube like metal tech). Getting...

Spent a week at the beach with the family and brought the 40, many special memories made - especially a few fishing trips with my daughter!

1971 FJ55 Landcruiser w/ 5.3 chevy engine and toyota 4 speed manual. One of the more rare models of landcruiser. This is a project and currently does not run. Engine and transmission are installed in the vehicle but the engine swap needs to be...

All loaded up to head to SAS 9 this weekend. I did not realize how much Lynchburg had grown till it was next to one that was the same size as mine used to be. He even has my old tires.

Great time at SAS 9! Truck is working great and rides much better.

40 for sure!

Taz, @cruiserland part is correct. Buy with confidence. I have a big box of them that I am destined to own forever, or at least until Kina runs out!😛

Same

Next to pass side, different angle

Well that's a top left I've shown The top of the swinging part is deeper to account for door angle...keeps hinge pin vertical I'll get a better shot next to installed unit in a minute..
