So I took a trip with a few friends to carry the breifcase around this past weekend. Over 400 miles of back roads down to Jamestown, and then down to Nags Head to the Wright Brother memorial. Great trip and good to stretch the legs out. @Land...

Bump, is this still for sale?

If I were you … I would go full polar express on the parade … not mine… I don’t think anybody would admit to owning it… but… this is the way you should go Think how happy the kids would be seeing it This IS the way :meh:

My town does a light parade every November. After much suggestion by the wife, I’ve finally decided to enter, and dress the soft top 43 up for Christmas. Crew will be me, the wife and kids, it’s all low speed driving through our local downtown...

We all just enable each other don't we... Much appreciation I may take you up on that eventually!

No luck on the links I sent you?

Looks like the old Clardy style unit

So is she back home yet or!?!

My shop is still a mess, with lots more house stuff to clean out, but at least we got space between the lift columns cleaned out to where I could put the arms on the lift and use it for the first time! My oldest granddaughter's car got the honor...

PM sent on a complete FJ43 soft top and hard top. For those of you who run across this in the future here’s the links I found while looking for FJ45 parts: Here’s a soft top FJ43 https://www.facebook.com/share/1HSyS7jhXx/ Here’s a hard top...

Now working on cementing on 2" expanded polystyrene foam board insulation on the parapet wall. This serves two purposes; to help insulate the parapet wall and the soil behind it/on the roof from heat soak, and also to give a smooth working...
