Pulled the transfer case off to replace the input seal. Was transferring ATF from the 4L60e into the TC. Also thought I would do the rear disc brakes since everything was apart. I did the Poser 4 wheel disc swap almost 20 years ago and have had...

Took it for a Sunday drive with a couple of old friends.

I have 2 sets of Geolanders 31" and 33", love them both. Aesthetically I think they emulate the old bias ply tires that would have been period correct but with modern technology.

What did I do? Dusted off the 16” wheels I have set aside for my Fj43. 2” lift. Then jumped on a mini steam train with the kids. Wild weather here in CA the past week. Cold! Need some advice, new tires is happening this week. Need to choose...

Installed the windows on the hardtop sides. Only have one ambulance door window left to do. Unfortunately I made a slight tear in the seal. Probably would have been ok but I have a new one inbound from City Racer. Should get the tub back...

FJ40’s taking over the local Cars and Coffee, most I’ve seen in 1 spot in Spokane. @Skreddy @Spokruiser you guys need to come out next month! 😎

Makes me think about the time we spend with ours. Time sure is flying…

Fantastic day for the young man. Cross country flight in the morning, redfishing in the afternoon. 2 weeks training in Hermosa Beach (the mecca) for the young lady.

40+250=2Happy. I am enjoying the 250. It is very nimble relative to the 200. Haven’t driven the 40 at all. My life is dominated by these 2 teenagers. Beach volleyball, college applications and visits, PPL training, fishing. It is hitting me...

Out getting groceries for Barbacoa (and the so called "optional" Modelo Negro). Crossed an important milestone today too. 500 miles on the new engine.

Clocked another 225 miles on Pikachu this week on a camping trip with my son over in the Sawatch Range. Caught tons of rain, but the weather finally settled down in time for steaks over the fire at night. We found a spot about 9 miles deep in...

I have now been baptized by grease and dirt. I am one with my Troopy. Learned a lot, cleaned everything up, put it back together and much to my surprise, IT ALL WORKS!! What was most surprising is how much resistance was in those fronts...

@sogafarm Highly recommended for just such an emergency. Endorsed and approved by @Skreddy ..

We had a hitch hiker on the way to town in the form of a rat snake come down under the passenger dash and rubbed my wife’s foot. It was quite the adventure coming to a good place to stop. Im not sure if it’s still in there but I’ve opened up...

The wife's side. 😎

partially filled & rustproof sides...2nd stage to follow..

Got the ARB twin mounted up and plumbed

But that's what I like most; the juxtaposition of little bits of bling amongst all the redneck tech

Went to a buddy's VRBO rental property yesterday evening to take some drone shots for their listing. Perfect evening for a Pikachu drive. I barely tap the key and this old 2F fires right up. Absolutely the coolest car I've ever owned.

Way too shiny against the ‘well-loved’ surroundings 🤣

Also got all four brand new shocks and installed, and almost finished painting tranny (the pic does it no justice as I spent hours chiseling and wirebrushing every speck of clay I could find). Also upgraded to bigger acid bath. More acid please.

Polishing compound and an old toothbrush.😉 In case you’re wondering about the tread plate material, I don’t have a ladder for the rig: I climb on the hood to get to the roof rack. Now I guess I should detail the rest of the hood!😛

Drove it 450 miles today up to the Navarro River so they must have done something right. Funny thing was as I came out of the office and saw it sitting like that it started to roll backwards. Went about an inch and a pebble caught one of the...

Replaced dry rotted rear window rubber via city racer. Very satisfying 1:banana:job.
