Steve, As soon as I found my solution for everything we talked about last week, I had to switch out of Landcruiser mode and go into river rafting mode. Heading up to the Rogue River in Oregon tomorrow. Had a couple projects to finish on the raft...

Figured it was time to fix some of the Rubithon carnage. Looks like I scraped some paint off the rear driveshaft, might have bumped into a rock or something. Fortunately I had 1/2 a can of color matched spray paint. Fixed it.

Put on the PS scuff plate. Had to remove the old one to do so. Drilled out a few screwheads and pried it up. 50 years of spilled drinks and whatnot glued it down pretty well. Chipped out the glue with a wood chisel, color matched the interior...

Steering box is back.

Home made pork. Priceless:flipoff2:

TTT. Checking to see if anyone has anything.

Kicked it out of the garage and washed the dust and pollen off it...and first time the garage has been even close to cleaned out in a while.

@bobm hooked me up!

And now that’s done. NEXT!

And speaking of paint, I guess that will pick back up today. Going to start with finishing off the sides of the cargo area before moving to the externals of the rear quarters and back end. Drove it out to the front for a couple more pics😁

Went for an hour long ride yesterday to take bird pictures because I’m a nerd, but had to get a couple pig pics while I was there.

Finished painting the axles and diffs yesterday. Very pleased with the Mastercoat products. I have used POR15 very successfully in the past but I was sold on other's reviews of the Mastercoat products and I also wanted to use a product with its...

Tech Tip: Wheel without your door mirrors. Pack a box half full of packing peanuts, wrapping paper and a small ziplok bag. Put the screws in the bag and your mirrors in the box at the start of the trail, put them back on the doors for the drive home.

Speedhut gauge brackets.

Be still, my heart.😍

Snuck in a half day after work. Took a novel approach to route the wire harness into the cab. Hooked up all the J-boxes, fuse box, etc. I’ve got a lot of wire management to deal with, and still need to delete what isn’t needed, but I hooked up...

Wow, yeah! That is a great looking rig! I’d leave the body alone and lift the mirrors off. That color is rare-rare. @wngrog We gonna need a bunch more pics too!

@RUSH55 Close…but not quite. I’m sure yours will be able to do that!

Lizard Skin, both products. Sound deadener and the ceramic insulation. If I remember right, a couple coats of each. I used them throughout the wagon.

All those changes mentioned previously with distributor, wires, spark plugs, etc…Still something wasn’t quite right. I know the choke is a little lazy, but then I got to looking at manifold bolts and started to wonder. Sure enough 4 were not...

coming up

What I did with my Pig...Rubithon! I didn't take a lot of pics, my hands were usually busy. My Shotgun took some, we'll wait for him to post. Some teasers

@scrapdaddy Can you share what you used under that hood for insulation/deadening?

Template made for the tunnel. This back section will be welded into place. Front peice will be bolted/removable to keep that OEM feeling. Additional bracing added as I've cut the body rib out, and the floor is extremely flimsy.
