Well at least you seem to have lots of pain meds. 😂

Super happy it’s at the finish line. Thankfully no flies landed on the clear coat.

And after posting, I realized the person at the back of the pickup looks like they aren’t wearing pants! Was pretty sure it was someone in pinkish-purple yoga pants….

Not mine but I flew to couer d’alene airport today and saw this beauty!

To the marina for some fresh salty air.

IIRC on one of my old cars, the dash knob had a spring steel insert that had to be released by poking a small tool into the hole and apply pressure one way or the other to release the knob.

Well done, much better than hacksawing it off. I was working on tearing down a wrecked Bell 204. They ran it out of gas logging in the Amazon. Anyway the guy working with me (an X Boeing inspector) dykes the wire right next to a connector for...

Been a little while. Works been getting it the way a bit, but have managed to keep a few things moving along. Cleaned up the firewall and under tub, then seam sealed every last seam on the tub. Now there should be no chance of any water ingress...

And finally, the engine and new gearbox in the chassis on its own weight! Was expecting the front springs to compress a bit more, but I'm sure they will settle some more as we add more and more stuff. And had to clearance the tunnel a bit...

Trans tunnel. Cut out all the needed space for the bigger H151, thankfully without interfering with the seat mounts. Then i framed it out with 25x25x3 angle iron and then skinned it with 1.6mm plate. Nice and strong. Now I can get back to...

Stipple or checkering.

Finally dealt with a mystery dmv snafu and got my sticker. They said there was a problem with my registration so I went to a satellite place to check it out. She said they wanted more money. I showed her the receipt where I paid their fees in...

Sourced OEM sunvisors and used some SEM products to turn em black. Also installed the newly painted wiper arms. I've been going through the harness. Cleaning all connectors and adding a dab of dielectric grease. Wires and almost all...

how many times have you thought "how the heck did I screw that up?" I saw something on this on a feed on FB, didn't think much about it until today when I decided to see what was what.... the tape measures (in order of the first picture) note...

Ebay has been flooded the past several years with a Chinese copy of a later kilometer version. New Toyota clusters can be found but obviously cannot meet the cheap Chinese prices. BTW, the Chinese establish sellers in a number of US city...

Finished the fuel lines this morning, I ran the lines inside the frame and as high up as possible to protect them from trail damage and heat from the exhaust. Now to flush the lines, re-tighten all connections, fill the engine with oil and 🤞🏼...

Started running lines to fuel rail and regulator and for various reasons I quickly found out the original placement of the regulator was not going to work. So, I relocated it to the driver side of the firewall. Mounted the 100 micron filter and...

For a factory carb send it to @65swb45

A few pictures of the new jewelry.

So here are the photos of the stance on the 40. The first picture is before the others are after The difference measures a 2” lift in the rear and 1 1/2” up front The rest are from today

WARNING: LONG READ This decision for me was a tough choice. I had done springs only once in 1975 when I needed to lift my ‘74 FJ40 because of the Armstrong Tru-Track tires I had added to it. At 21, it was no big deal pulling them off, taking...

Each of my cruisers has its own experiences. I do believe the 200 is a phenomenal platform. It’s a space ship compared to my 40. I own both for a reason. And honestly drive the 40 more often. The 200 just gets drove further.

If you have any questions reach out.

I went to that rabbit hole of a thread and found it. I think this is what I will end up doing. The end product just looks so darn good on your 40 !! Thank you @EWheeler and @Chungas Revenge for the original idea!
