Nice counterto....I mean, workbench you made there. Built in parts washer, too!

Got all the inside metal all sanded out and primed with epoxy primer. All metal is now primed out with 3 coats of epoxy primer. It never ceases to amaze me how much total work is involved in prepping out a vehicle for paint. Every square...

Change of color to battleship grey after grinding and etching primer.

Last fall we had two large poplars plus a cedar and a sweet gum cut / craned out…poplars we’re dying and dropping huge limbs. Combined, they all provided lots of shade to our back deck. With them gone we needed some shade to make being on the...

FYI, those are not original FJ40 wheels, they are aftermarket wheels often referred to as wagon wheels. The tires are BFG KO's which have not been manufactured for at least 15 years. Regardless of dry rot condition, I would consider those tires...

Watch the whole thing

Sorry to hear this news, Eric. Great Danes are heart breakers for sure. Hundie was such a great dog. I sure will miss seeing him around and I know the kids are devastated.

Sorry to hear that Eric. I have fond memories of a meeting at the barn when Hundie and our Jack Russell/Corgie Sam bonded and hung out together. Mutt and Jeff indeed. Our dogs are the best of us. RIP Hundie.

Wow. What a hoss. Sadly we had to say goodbye to Hundie. Sure miss him. Sweetest dog I’ve ever had the please you share years with.

I think Nathan has a used 285/75/16 that you could use as a spare. Tread is good. Tire is 2years old. $50.

New month to enjoy!

I feel you. I sometimes wish there was a "self service" option for those who know more than the store clerks.

Yassss

Motor running as I watched has a leak on the #5 injector line tightened it up seems to have stopped hoping that’s all it is but I do have a pretty good leak coming from the timing cover ~5 drips every few seconds

Got parking bake! What a concept. Got each caliper in and used new 3/4” spacers to replace the raggedy ones that it had, Then routed the cables, got both sides to a termination block all from the standard Wildwood kit. Had enough leftover...

Chasing down the hot/stall/stop issue in the 100. Apparently a common issue in 06/07. First step is a fuel pump and filter. AutoZone clerk was having a case of the Fridays so I offered to find the part myself.

Consider me enabled. My search is over and I could not be happier to finally and officially be a part of the MUD community!

@izzyandsue Thanks man I’m really excited even my wife said it was cool haha. Yeah really nice guy I messaged him early this week and he was willing to hold it for me till I finished with my job in Ohio really glad he was willing to just seemed...

Front end Friday

Back in the day, IIRC, 55 rear springs were coveted by 40 owners. Rumor was, they would put the 55 rear springs on the front of the 40, flipped end to end. Because the 55 spring pin is off centered front to rear, the 40 axle is moved forward an...

Yeah that’s the one! Gonna be a fun project I think and looking forward to it fitting the whole family

I have a set of 4 BFG KO2 31 X 10.5 X 15 on rims. On rims, may still be road worthy. They were on a truck I built when it rolled in. FREE, get them out of here

7:00 - 7:30 is a good time for me during the week. That will give traffic a chance to die down a little before heading back into town. Now let's pick a day.
