If I was any kind of a salesman they would mostly be gone. Instead they are tosses into the garage of misfit parts.

It's supposed to get back down to the 80s this week so hope to make some progress. I did take advantage of a cooler day recently to remove the DCM from the wife's 4runner. Also put the A-Track button in the FJ Cruiser, easiest upgrade ever.

As promised…

had some fun in the sun with the Fj55 this past weekend!

Fancy ceder paint booth! :cool: Great color on a cruiser!

I added AC this week. Under $500 and cold. More info coming to my thread.

Got the 4 inch lift all wrapped up. Started painting the hardtop as well (section by section).

I second that! I sold so many parts that I shouldn’t have sold, and some I sold for pennys that I later learned where hard to find parts😫

While unpacking the truck I found this box of “stuff” that the lady loaded that I never got a chance to look through. Well it look like her dad had bought every gasket, weather strip, bolt, latch, and even the headliner. All new in the bags from...

where we're going we don't need laws!

While it needs to be converted your link includes a suggested retail price. Find out what that is and what it will cost here explains why not everybody is fond of the program. 17401-61090 is listed at under $450 when converted to dollars. By the...

I know this has been discussed at nauseum, but reading the official site it says i can get all these from a local dealer? i thought they where all special order or not available in the USA. Am I still confused on this?

Last but not least the long awaited @OPMACHINE bumper has arrived! Unfortunately it got a little banged up in shipping cross country, but they took care of me and I will need to get it re-powder coated. For now, I had to mount it as is so I...

I've been procrastinating on this repair for a while now, partly because I hate doing things twice. When I bought this 40, it had a nasty tear in the right fender. I hammered it back into shape and then welded it up, but unfortunately I got a...

Drove her Monday and Tuesday but she is sidelined again. Ordered windows and doors for my home in August of last year. They arrived today so I had to make room in the garage for storage. This plus the fact that we are headed to CO next week...

Finished installing my defrost hoses. Fortunately the lower elbows were OK, just the upper connector was disintegrated on both. The 2.5” dust collector cuff’s worked perfectly

It sure looks like all the smog components are there. As mentioned, I’d keep it the way it is and get yourself an emissions manual. That is pretty much a dream setup. If you were closer I’d be happy to assist but keep asking questions, we all...

I was one of the first to purchase the Trimeki header....then later, went ahead and purchased the exhaust system too. It sure is a good looking system and some serious craftsmanship! But, like you, I can't bring myself to redo something that is...

Whatever problem my Cruiser has seems to magically disappear when I start talking about another build.

Had some friends that wanted to check out Cerro Gordo ghost town this weekend. We lucked out and had good weather, then did some driving around in Alabama Hills. But the 40 isn’t so happy right now; seem like I lost a little vacuum somewhere so...

Got the the rig pretty dirty inside and out.The engine bay was absolutely filthy after the trip. After getting home, I changed the oil—and somehow the oil filter was the cleanest thing in the entire engine compartment. 😂 Three rounds of...

Friday, August 7, 2026 — The Long Way Home Part 1 Friday morning came around, which meant it was time to start packing up Yellr and admitting that SAS 10 was coming to an end. Dave and I got everything loaded, checked for damage after being told...

Have not driven the 40 in a few weeks so I took it for gas. Fuel Gauge was reading a needle under 1/2 and it took 9 gallons at $4.02/gal. The truck just runs so smoothly with the Sniper and the ride is so much more comfortable. I decided to put...

I had some donuts with some neighbors this morning and then drove it through the rain and hail to Mineral Basin. As far as tech goes, I reconnected the wire to the starter motor that keeps falling off when I go over washboard.

Installed the air intake horn and hose.
