Nolen, you should know I am well-versed on the "formula" that includes the 4 plus carrier ;) The PO welded a bumper on my 40, I'm still hoping to hack it off some day and get the "spare tire rattler" off the back of mine. They welded a front bumper on as well :(

I hope you reconsider this, or put trailer lights on the rear of the carrier. That rig is WAY too nice to get rear ended because the brake lights are not visible! I enjoyed reading your build and absolutely loved the pics of your Dad behind the wheel <3

If I would have seen that for 4k, it would be in my garage! I sure hope someone didn't chop it up and you are successful in finding it. There are quite a few FJ40 Facebook groups, you might also want to post there. Good luck, and sorry to hear about your father.

Oh no! I keep the hood open when I'm changing the oil and I put the full containers somewhere on the engine bay to hopefully prevent this from happening. Did you get fired? A friends works for Take 5 settling cases from the negligence of their employees. It's crazy how often they destroy an engine!

Better than forgetting to put in the oil!

Rebuilt my leaky clutch master cylinder after not listening to the advice to always replace it when replacing the clutch master. I already had a rebuild kit or I would have just bought one, it took some effort to get it cleaned up. I cleaned up the firewall and fixed the missing paint from the...

Reminder, if you replace your clutch slave, also replace your clutch master. If you don't, after a long winter's nap, you will discover the firewall and floorboard with a trail of brake fluid :(

The first thing I did over 20 years ago when I bought my 40 was remove the Delco dizzy after posting pics here. I was told it was a bomb in my engine, out it went! I found great advice here and even better people when Romer offered me his distributor :)

I posted up in the 40 tech section hoping to find out the owner survived but no response yet. I thought someone might see it here since it is in Portland and know the owner. Prayers that they survived. The stickers on the windows tell me otherwise :(...

I don't think there was a rollover here, judging by the other pictures, just an incredible amount of damage from the front corner hit. I'm still hoping someone here chimes in that the owner survived and is recovering well, and that there was not a passenger.

I hope we can ignore this in the "tech" section, or discuss what possibly could have happened here, but so many of us are like family that I saw this on Copart.com with the "biohazard" stickers and immediately felt sick. I hope the person driving this survived, but the stickers tell me...

Powda loves the Tilda Bogue! Pretty sure you should just buy it and keep it there. Red would look like 🔥🔥🔥 behind the wheel ;) Did Cowboy give you side eye when it returned again?

I wish! Taking care of my parents here for now. I was there in March for your snowstorm, while it was nice in Ohio. I was there all last week for the rain, hail and cold temps while it was sunny in Ohio, hahaha. I am thinking maybe AZ doesn't want me! I am helping a friend clear our her parents...

Anyone interested in an Enco drill press? Works great, $150 and in Flagstaff.
