Now the work begins-

Handle is the transfer H-N-L. Green light is the front drive indicator. Front drive (4wd) is engaged by the knob under the light. There is a hand throttle that should be above the choke. Im missing both the choke and hand throttle knobs and cables.

Great load of firewood today. Even better having a teenager to load it.

Thanks. We've been in Argyle since 2013, prior to that over in McKinney/Frisco. Had to get out of the coming concrete jungle. Crazy how the sprawl is now making its way to lil Argyle. I have a freshman in HS and once he's done, we are...

Thank you. I struggled on making my decision to either keep the OEM freeborn red or change it up. I ran it by Mar, my Dad, and he was good with the change. That's all I needed to hear. It's a resto mod after all since I'm adding a few modern...

A little before and after is always nice. This came out way better than expected.

This was a one owner truck I purchased here in Bogotá. I have all the original documents from its importation from Japan. 🇯🇵 Additionally I have a full folder of service records, owners manual, tools etc. Original set of keys were also provided.

Found a knockoff 6.00 x 16 tire to match the others for a spare. It’s a Deestone, not a Firestone. Wonder where it comes from… It’ll work as a spare and for less than half the cost of the Coker I figured it would be fine. I had the tire shop put...

Removal was the easy part. The car came from Denver, CO. It was a Scotland Embassy car. Kinda cool. I kept the emblem. lol.

Takin' those lemons and making lemonade!! Speedy recovery!!

I did order a bunch of hog rings from SOR, but after the first one I said F it and bought a bunch of zip ties. A hell of a lot easier for me, and I'd say why not. Note the zip ties here: Then I screwed the freshly-painted back panel on: I put...

Good recovery! Congrats on getting out and making the effort. Bikes saved me after my heart attack in 2021. 💪💪⚙️⚙️

It does Jim. Between the transmission and transfercase. There’s an interrupter on the shaft extension and I used the pickup from BP Productions (stand alone harness for 5.3) if I remember correctly. All of the adapters are from AA. Edit...

On the trail at 0445 this morning to beat the heat. Have only been back on the bike for 3 weeks after having heart surgery mid May. Having had to deal with a collapsed lung, pneumonia and a lung infection post op slowed me down a bit but feeling...

Currently waiting for the machine shop to finish another batch for us. We have a few ba k orders but should have twenty more housings for inventory once those orders are filled. Georg @ Valley Hybrids

That picture… 1000 questions. Where is that with RHD? What year are those rigs? Are they 40’s? What’s that on the front grill? What’s up with the turn signal lights snd bib lights? Only 994 to go…

It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The Stout is as good as it was 5 years ago. Im Still using it like I built it to be used all through 2024. I renewed the plates for 5 more years, took many trips to the hardware store, used it to...

Finally after over two years of owning the Stout and over a year since beginning the swap it is done! Over the course of a few more months I sourced some swampers for the 40 series wheels as well hubcaps. Installed sound dampening, carpet and...

Spent a week at the beach with the family and brought the 40, many special memories made - especially a few fishing trips with my daughter!

At work yesterday with the 84 bj42

I did too until you said that Jim. I thought the skid plate looked like steel instead of that nice aluminum one you sell. Probably need to get my eyes checked although it still seems like a good price.

And it works! Except the oil pressure sensor of course

That’s a smoking deal.

Msapers, Tank is still available. It has been stored for 30+ years, road under my truck moving from CA to NY but always had duct tape over the openings for FME. Never had any liquid in it. Comes with skid plate, pump, fill nozzle and neck...

Seriously though...
