Catching Neutral

Custom color paint. Jason TT

It was just one of those nagging little things... both of the after-market window regulators, the pocket door, and the ash tray face plate were more of a shade of gold rather than OEM pewter. I finally decided to remedy that. They don't hold a...

Finishing up Spring yard beautification…. Tundra did most of the heavy duty yesterday but old girl gotta earn her keep too! 🤣

Knocked the winter dust off and went for a cruise.

Did a little paint on the seat back panels. On the 40 series. I think it came out pretty good. Better than what it was.

Just got a fresh tetanus shot so I could take this turd for a ride

Here’s my response to this thread so far……. Big ole ‘like’ emoji licensed to cover entirely cuz I’m too lazy to do individually :cheers:

This is fun to watch.

Looking like it belongs next to the “genuine reproduction”, incorrect for the year, tool roll. :grinpimp:

Took my annual wildflower poser photos in my driveway today; it's just about peak Bluebonnet season.

That looks awesome

Aight. We good. System held vacuum. Radiator shop said the condenser is clean as a green bean. I added a touch of PAG to it and it’s ready for charging on Tuesday at @wct49’s shop. Once the AC is cold it’s going home.

Good ideas. I’m impressed with the way you fellas have thought thru this build. Also good for the mud community how you’ve detailed lots of those thoughts and ideas in this thread. Looking forward to the finished product.

Finished restoring my roll bar for my 1975 Fj40, got it painted satin black, cleaned up the rubber pads and all new hardware. With the roll bar installed, I also got a couple of black bikini tops for my year round summer weather here in...

Those are nice blades.

Spotted a 60 while taking the gondola out for 4 quick runs this morning before taking my son to the airport.

Beetle pad is a perfect fit; I have one on mine too - put it on there years ago when I needed a pedal rubber and had that one left over from my Beetle days.

@wngrog and @RevISK The ST is holding up great although life has been so busy the 40 has only been driven as a grocery getter lately. It was my DD for about 3 plus months into December. No problems. The doors off summer configuration happens...

Not much going on with the 40 lately. I did sit next to a guy on a flight to Beaver Creek yesterday who noticed my backpack. He told me he had recently bought a red 78.

@imyahucklbrry ….enjoy the “very brief” moment

Today I spent the morning getting reacquainted with the world and then after lunch I fixed the rear quarters properly with OEM reflectors and emblems. That sticker was baked the hell on. Had to cook it off. Cowboy was happy to see me. Thrilled...

Front axle mostly built. Have to get to NAPA tomorrow for calipers and rotors.

Installed the axles and C Clips. Cover. Metric Overland stainless hardware. Next I added the Dobinsons IMS shocks. Absolutely the best fj40 shocks by a wide margin. Finally I added a new pinion seal and flange to convert the driveshaft...

US Economist + Common core math= 👆

Checked on the cabin and did some things around the place today. Gonna take a pavement drive tomorrow if the roads are finally dry for the time being.
