Weather was finally nice today after some heavy rains Sunday as I was looking at my steering wheel, it looked a bit shabby despite the leather wrap I had put on it last year. I had removed the wrap and there was always a large spot near the...

Pressure washed the inside of the frame. Then took it for a ride

I witnessed it!

This week I was picking up rust pieces after wheeling it hard lol I’ll be replacing a fan blade soon as well :) More pics here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fall-gathering-2026-pics.1385802/

And the world’s coolest overflow tank gets even better! :cheers:

In addition to fixing the radiator coolant leaks, I installed a Japanese cassette player to give the vehicle a classic feel.

My shop is still a mess, with lots more house stuff to clean out, but at least we got space between the lift columns cleaned out to where I could put the arms on the lift and use it for the first time! My oldest granddaughter's car got the honor...

I've been working a few hours most mornings starting at sunup, to stucco over the foam boards on the parapet wall. After doing the 8' high main wall sections, this is relatively easy because the parapet wall is only 4' high, but I have to stand...

Sniper update: After driving, I've been smelling fuel in the engine compartment for a few months and could never really locate it. Last night, after a short test drive, I finally found the culprit: .. .. I put a 3/16" allen wrench on that...

Wrapping up my wheel swap. I need to order some hubcaps, but I am gonna put some miles on it in the meantime and make sure I don't need to pull a wheel off. Before: After: These wheels cleaned up nice for being ~50 years old. Wire wheel...

New carburetor. I believe I got a stuck float valve while driving. The 40 began dying out at idle at the stop light, and when I got it home, gasoline was pouring into the carb. I think this one had been on the motor about 20+ years, so I unboxed...

Had a weekend of dealing with wiring. I got the windshield wipers working, only in high, but return to park is working. Cleaning the switch did the trick. I got my new reverse light in and some wiring from the reverse switch to engine...

Did a 200 mile round trip and did some hiking off the parkway yesterday.

Interesting.

This is her Froggie

Finally got around to installing the Trollhole top I bought from Evan @EWheeler earlier in the year. It’s brand new and still has the protective film on the windows. Have been looking for a green canvas top to replace the Paki top that wore out...

All done. Need to order a few parts now. Gives me some time to paint the hubs. I have two Aussie’a to install as well.

The 40 has taken way too many very HARD jumps it seems… your going to have your hands full when he’s driving lol

Dreamed about working on the real life cruiser. Settled for playing with these with the little guy and hoping he takes up the hobby as well.

Took her out for a Cars and Coffee morning up in Cedar Park. Today was mostly about MOPAR, but the Toyotas got a little love too! Heads up, next month on the 19th will be Land Cruiser Palooza at Cedar Park Toyota (9-11). The red goody bag was for...

New fuel lines, installed a Wilwood proportioning valve on the rear disc brake line, pulled the top off, installed a happy dog. Good week.

Wire wheel on the top, sand blast on the bottom. Etch primed Black on back Rustoleum Massey Ferguson Gray on the front Tire shop was skeptical about putting the 32x11.5 on the 5.5 wheel. Looks so much better than the 90’s truck wheels...

It it appears your radiator is not stock. Most folks use the stk radiator, make or adapt a fan shroud, and position the fan properly in the shroud. We would like to see more pics your conversion. I’ve been running multiple sbc's and a bbc in...

Making it work for a living, heading to the dump tomorrow. I

Finally got around to installing the steering wheel wrap. Used the baseball stitch. Once I got the hang of it, it went pretty smoothly. I would suggest getting a pick to help tighten the threads as you go along. I picked up a 4 piece pick...
