getting down to the smaller cosmetic projects and misc electrical stuff.

Damn it, I knew it!

OH I'm going to bring it next year!!!

Australia has super anal engineering rules. I didn't want the headache.

The paint is actually an anti-oxidising paint used by the local SES 'State Emergency Services' and Fire Services here in Australia. The donor vehicle was in very good nick, and certainly well looked after for it's years in service.

Rear floor pans welded in. This is how I should have done it a few years ago, and transplanted the entire section in.

Living room?? Looks great both ways X 😍

More points at the Show & Shine. :)

I had those exact ones on my Angry Pig when a bought it and they leaked. Regular ball valves work well like this one Summit sells, obviously you can find them cheaper on Amazon. Just read the reviews to confirm the Chinese "NPT" threads are kind...

I've used the the generic stainless ball valves that have PTFE seals with success and I've also used the 6-AN fuel proof aluminum valves Summit racing sells. Say's my wife and accountant.....

As far as tire production newest they can be is 2018. Km2 stopped production and went to km3. Would look good sitting in the driveway there @bobm as long as you shorten the u bolts so your not raking your lawn every time you move the rig.

We've done some of the easy ones and some of the pucker ones... lol. With my Piggy being SOA, and tippy as all get out, I'm not planning to chase any puckers. The first time we went wheeling there, our trail guide was a maniac... hadn't scouted...

The odometer problem was that over time and heat the oil drained out of the original factory grease at the number tumblers, leave a stiff hardening paste. Causing the helical gear at the 9-10th of a mile tumbler to jump the gear and start...

Sorry for the loss of the Cabin! At least you didnt get there on time and everyone,'s safe. The way you guys build stuff it wont take long 😘. Call ya bro wit da new Deck 😘

We will have to see how the land recovers. May just build a large deck and throw a wall tent up for the next trip. Hoping I can recover the wood stove to use again. But time will tell. Keep it simple and regroup all the things gathered over the...

Dang, that sucks for sure. Sorry you lost the AK getaway. You’re so well grounded with the family, everything else is trivial. I’m sure this unfortunate event won’t dampen the incredible time you have had as a family! Gonna rebuild? That’s...

If I’ve tried to tell myself anything on this trip it’s that I’m were I’m supposed to be at the right time. Can’t rush things and force it. Just go with the flow and everything has a reason. My goal was be in Alaska just after Father’s Day to be...

Project recovery PP25 Broken alternator tension adjust bolt. Revive stuck odometer Use dialectic grease on steering wheel horn contact Replace rear window track Revive drivers rear quarter panel Got away easy this time The reward was visiting...

Can’t remember, 13 years ago I think it was through a supplier about 2 years ago. Yes, you have become the west coasts premier FJ55 pats supplier. Thank you very much. After 70 I find I only remember what I did in the last week. Today I did...

Started tearing down the front axle today and got down to the locking nut. I then discovered that my 54mm socket doesn't fit. It appears that the proper size is 55mm as far as I can tell after an internet search for the specified SST...

You've come a long way with your wagon, looks so good! 👍

A bit more manly now. Like it. Wish I had a place could store it. Really like the white top look too.

Would rather be driving. Day one a success. 16x32 deck framed up and almost decked after 3.5 hour round trip this morning of taking the wife to the airport. Tomorrow is frame out the gable roof extension and stairs then hopefully day 3 will be...

Another puzzle piece. FJ60 reluctor ring kit from JTR. Years ago Marlin Crawler was offering a device that installed onto the speedometer gear output on the t-case and supposedly created a digital signal that mimicked a VSS. Or so I thought...
