Thanks for the tip DrRock!

Washed the bride's FZJ70 and was not in a rush so I attempted to clean under the hood. The FZJ70 is a 1997 model from Saudi Arabia that is in great shape, so I was not anticipating the results to be very pronounced ... just a getting rid of...

Impulse buy waiting in Tokyo docks to be shipped... LJ78. What have I done! :D

Legit can’t go anywhere without Fergus 😂

Used my the 8274 to pull out a horse trough I buried about 10 years ago. It was a planter to contain bamboo that only survived a few years. It was pulling the truck, with three wheels blocked. Initially tried 'lifting' it with the snatch block...

Rear is done. The Wizard is headed this way for a consult for the exhaust.

Both sides are done. About to do an Toe set then get then move to the rear axle

Not much to report. Got one knuckle built out and the 3rd member in. Not sure where the afternoon went. Parts to put the rear back in arrived today. My goal is to have this thing a roller by Friday.

I don't remember but I'm sure I looked at it from the eyes of an average user versus a retired rocket scientist

Ok. That's done. Header is mocked up so the wizard can reroute the exhaust above the skid plate and add the cat

Hello, Sometimes it boils down to priorities, keeping enough money in your pocket and enough peace in your mind. It is interesting how life gets in the way. Juan

More dogs! BTT Dirty Ol’ Hippie is my co-pilot.

Axles all stripped so I'm on to the 2F. I'm about to hang it up for the day. Good progress so far. This thing has a PowerSurge that I actually sold him years ago that I'm s*** canning for a normal external fuel pump setup

The front tie rod has seen better days. The rear bearings are slide hammered out Thirds are painted. I'll put new pinion flanges and seals in once I have them in the truck

@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.

😎 The cat… the myth… the legend…

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...

Look what I found for my FJ40 🤩:bounce: The era of my hatch falling on my head randomly is over 😅

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 🤓

Having a blast at Solid Axle Summit with some good friends , I do need to figure out where to send my invoice to for fumigating the mountains around Ouray 🤣

You won’t get evening views like this if you stay home. 😁
