We need to plan some costal meet and greets when you get your 40 back. Awesome to see good stuff happening and shared for us to ogle over.

Thanks much!

@WY Trooper here you go… 985-24-003 front 985-24-005 rear For the life of me I can’t find where I ordered the stabilizer from. Will keep looking…

Not much today. Dropped the intake and valve cover and a few small parts at Powder Keg. Had to do errands until 3 and only got a little in. New hoses and heater valve in place.

Now the work begins-

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

This one was doing great but it's really an over complicated system. I kinda started it with these things years ago due to past experience with external electric pumps and rock crawlers. I've not had a single one of these Mosley supplied...

Teardown almost complete. I need to dig out that fuel pump.

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

More tear down. Had to work on a local truck this morning (Powda Blue) The front will come apart today. One side down. Whoever built this front axle last was in the minimal grease school. Maybe a 1/2 a can in the whole side. They don't...

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

3rd member swaps *tech tip* If you are swapping Land Cruiser 3rds from a vehicle that has locking hubs, use the front differential in the rear of the receiving vehicle and the rear to the front. Why? If the hubs are not locked all the front...

@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.

I am so jealous (and happy for Wes) Wes contacted me about a month ago. He was close to my neck of the woods looking for advice on a good spot from which to watch the Blue Angels Air Show. So I dropped him a few pins. Maybe he will post up a...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

Blood sacrifice usually necessary at some point for a successful project!

😎 The cat… the myth… the legend…

I’m digging the can and the cooler. Where did you get the can?

And Higgens is off to east Texas ..... Always great when the customer takes it for a test drive and they make it back 🤡

That’s what’s it all about right there.
