That’s the preferred way but the open barrels will work for now.

Open barrel for the win.

It's nice to have a label maker that I can print perma sleeve heat shrink labels with.

Getting busy making up some harnesses.

I found a wiring connector kit on Amazon that mated up with the existing connector bodies from the heater harness. Female Sta-Kons from Waytek. Klein tools from my trade life. Heat shrink tubing from my existing parts stash to help clean up...

Friday night tacos and tequila are on the slate for a few.

More to come......

All great advice- Photog took over 400 pics today, a handful of videos and I’m prepared to monitor the auction closely to field any questions/concerns. The market(hobby/collector car market)is a little weird, I saw one a few months back that...

No worries Al- that was our next stop.

Hardest part for you is setting a proper reserve. High enough that you don't give it away for all the work put in, but also attainable for where the market is at.... which is the hard part to figure right now. No shame if you set it too high...

I am saving a bag of popcorn to eat during the final hours of the auction to see where this spectacular specimen winds up. I hope you are rewarded for your excellent work and attention to detail. This will be an interesting litmus test for the...

Thank you. It’s a little nerve wracking from where I sit.

I’ll be visiting the Terrain Taner HQ in Melbourne in a month, super excited to see this cruiser in person! I have a soft spot for HJ47s since I had one as my DD for a number of years when my son was born. 😎 Georg @ Valley Hybrids & Terrain...

Speedo(GPS) shot- on 33s and 410s.

Real time update- BAT photo shoot is happening now. Red GR85 has a gopro boom, the 72 has a gopro over my shoulder and is mic ed up.

Facts-

Chamba's Law says Murphey was an optimist. Wish I'd known about that one too....

She’s sitting in storage now- will do another summer in the SW and then back to OH/PA.

No vader light on this one. OEM plug on the dash in its place. @White Stripe - your old 3/4 tub spent the winter in AZ.

Joined some time ago and can’t remember if I introduced myself! My name is Garland andcI am in the process of getting a 78 fj back onthe road and trails. I bought aftermarket turn/ signal lights and they came with 3 wires instead of 2, two...

Wish I would have know you were looking- have a customer that only got $23k for his soft top 43 that was well sorted last fall.

The small zipper pouch for the bushings is pretty impressive.

LONG READ: You may have read I was not going to upgrade my suspension with the Terrain Tamer Spring and shocks despite the long list of other improvements. Like the rest of us, I have already over spent on my FJ40…so once again, the Backstory...

They are definitely rare in this shape.
