Today my buddy Matt came over and we finished getting the new Bed cover trimmed and set in place. Big Shout out to our Sponsor Summit Steel. Pat and his crew supplied the aluminum cover and bed rails. It really came out Awesome. We are another...

Man if looks were Horsepower we would be off the charts. Everything in the engine compartment has a purpose and its coming together. I am just about done with the rear axle, springs and brakes, rear driveshaft is installed. Today has been a Great...

First fire up for the 496 in the truck:

Bil John W is cleaning around his shop and stuck this 16’ Hudson trailer out by Hwy. it has been sitting for years with well pipe on it but taking up room now. It has a large rear gate that goes with it too. If interested, his number is on sign.

I can see it now!

The old wood stove would not keep both the old shop and new addition warm enough without propane heater back up. It would also not last through the night and the shop was bone cold every morning. This new furnace is a firewood burning whole...

Movie time! Thanks @neslrac this is gonna be awesome.

Just got my new recovery kit in.

Thanks, the auction seems to be going pretty well, but the comments section has gotten a little weird.

It has been an absolutely brutal work schedule and I finally had some free time to finish processing and posting photos from Relic Run. Being both a driver and a photographer means I didn't get a lot of trail shots...

Before I get to talking about this little project, keep in mind that, as most of you know, I am an Accountant by trade. My ability/desire to "make things pretty" aren't my strongest attributes. A discerning look at my truck should make that...

That dude with the skid steer is such a bum! Lol sorry I couldn’t make it, I got stuck in Michigan longer than expected and didn’t get back till Saturday night. Also the skidsteer has been on rent for a month now instead of a week due to all the...

Missions accomplished. Pool deck teardown progressed marvelously, and the old shop has been emptied into robs new property. Long day, but we got it done. Moved all four remaining vehicles, three engines, four transmissions, two dozen motorcycles...

Side quest: I am finally getting around to getting my little isuzu work truck back up and running so my focus until my fuel pressure regulator comes in is going to be towards my isuzu pup. Back story: I blew the headgasket on the way back home...

Dang I did not see the metallic part of that. Its weird because our 2 fj55s are clearly not the only two in this color. I have seen others on mud. Yeah I have found this chart. none of the colors looked quite right to me on these but who knows...

I seem to recall an FJ45LV color called Coronado beige or Colorado beige that I had zoned in on as a possibility. None of the FJ55 specific charts had colors that looked right to me.

The correct way to center the wheel is to adjust the drag link or relay rod. If the wheel hasn't been removed b4. It insures the steering box is centered. The shortcut is to remove the wheel.

First drive today! a good shake down for sure. Ill elaborate more tomorrow but it was pretty fun!

Its been a busy couple of days. Some updates and questions: lists as usual. 1. I got the drive shafts, pinion flanges, and pinion seals all installed. Looks good. under there. I am stoked to have that all set up. getting one step closer to...

Just pittleing with the old fj55 this morning! I pulled the pertronix style points out. and screwed in the points. I dont have the little post yet but when It comes in Ill install the condensor and everything else. I did some rooting around with...

This is his daily driver, it's a fan favorite in the Cruiser Outfitters parking lot. I found this pic on his IG, now I know what they use our forklift for when I'm around :D This was his daily driver before losing the 2F. He's just about done...

ahh dang it! I bet thats what happened I looked at the ballast resistor today and it looked fine. Maybe its time to Rock some points! I just gotta get the little plastic piece that goes in the DIzzy. I have a condensor and a set of points. I...

Its been a busy day! I went this morning to buxton to drop off my uhaul trailer. I left my house at 6am and got back home at 10:00ish am. I then dicided I would start messing with some stuff. I had already purchased plugs and wires and a water...

Nassau Beige appears to have been a metallic color which my truck is clearly not. I was thinking either Sundune White (beige) or Pluto Beige. I never could quite figure it out.

No sir. I took the fuel filler door to my paint shop and they used that to scan and mix a custom color. It turned out okay, but not great.
