Gordobe

Because a floor pan is hard.and I have to replace the ghost of a body mount too. Scuff plates are bright and shiny and I haven't had one for longer than I've had the hole in the floorboard.

Relaxing in the North Rim Lodge plus view from just below. Also one of our favorite Pig Parties. Believe that's @RUSH55 on the couch with you and Jeri.

Working moving cars around shop as we try and organize our living space. Used cheaper gojack castors to move the BJ45. We had to get it out of the elements, needs windshield and some TLC. @Michael B used these in his shop and they worked great...

In need of a decent condition 1071 valve cover

(Trailer cropped out. 🤣)

I stopped in to feed poppa pig today. Naturally i drove the pig. Because landcruiser fj55s and actual hogs are rarely in the same frame in this album and i aim to single handedly correct that unfortunate trend.

Just got my 71 back from the windshield replacement shop The glass was supplied by a national supplier FYG. $169 to the windshield installer. He got it in 3 days. Ordered two to make sure at least one was not scratched. Sent the other on back...

A busted birf...

Speedhut gauge brackets.

That is an alternative headliner. It’s setup as a framework to attach an overhead console, interior lights, stereo speakers, whatever. @scrapdaddy built the first one for his rig and I copied most of his design. @xtiaan2000 built and installed...

And now that’s done. NEXT!

And speaking of paint, I guess that will pick back up today. Going to start with finishing off the sides of the cargo area before moving to the externals of the rear quarters and back end. Drove it out to the front for a couple more pics😁

Shop time this afternoon, trimmed and mounted the 3fe PS bracket and looked at how the Saginaw pump will fit it.

100% way to do it! Nothing fancy just fire and meat. My favorite way to cook! My wood pile soaked with rain coming again in hour or two. Sadly probably gonna have to use the Yoder pellet smoker.

👋🏻 Been a min, we did a 4400km road trip almost to Manitoba to see extended family in our M56, that car sure eats the miles up. No dog pics here though…

I'm frequently in Ventura and have had friends send pics of your rig in Ojai. :-)

Here is the top side of the rust. I've got a rough cut out done of the floor pan, no pic, and the bobm pan ready to go. Just need to get the spot welds off the rear support piece. The body mount bolt is pretty thin from rust. Whats everyone...

On to the rear suspension. The kit from Cruiser Outfitters gave me pause as I wanted to think through the rear hanger move. Turns out I was overthinking, it was pretty straight forward. I guess I'll see what the feedback is, but I thought it went...

Found this gem in the Nile Valley outside Yakima and there was no question it was coming home. Its a 73 with original F paired to the 3 spd, rust in the usual places and of course we couldn't get it started. Seller towed it out of its hole it...

Safelite was supposed to come to my home on the 10th and replace mine through my insurance. They emailed me saying they don't do any vehicles over 30 years. Insurance gave me a local glass co that they work with. They found a supplier some...
