That comes next 🤪. I'm sure there will be plenty to do, but I did take a quick spin around the neighborhood after I got it unloaded off the trailer and it does seem to run well so far. Here it is snug in the shop -

Out getting groceries for Barbacoa (and the so called "optional" Modelo Negro). Crossed an important milestone today too. 500 miles on the new engine.

Clocked another 225 miles on Pikachu this week on a camping trip with my son over in the Sawatch Range. Caught tons of rain, but the weather finally settled down in time for steaks over the fire at night. We found a spot about 9 miles deep in...

Fair enough.😁 I’ve been playing a side role as an indentured servant this summer. Some nonsense about duty, obligation and blind male obedience. Finishing up and heading back to lower Babylon this Sunday afternoon for a few days to work on the...

I bought this beauty in March 2016. My wife had been rear ended in our BMW Z3 a few months earlier and said she no longer felt safe driving it because it was too small and she felt vulnerable. Wel-l-l, I had been watching out for one of these for...

Drafted as slave labour on a Ms Revenge project this summer. On the bright side it’s in the mountains. On the down side it’s in the mountains. Sooo, 2.0 is getting minimal attention. Getting down to Babylon every few days to circulate the...

Love.
A year ago or two, I bought what I thought were two cases of oil filters (the big ones) - naive as I was, not realizing that I bought 24 small oil filters. I found them for around 2 bucks a filter. They look silly, but for the light driving I do... -

I joined the 80 club... Picked this up yesterday. 1997 Triple Locked!

80 Series material here: I mounted an 8274 on the Montana '96. Took quite a bit of work to make it happen, but I love having the venerable old-school winch on this rig. I replaced the old solenoids with a new Warn 98381 contactor and spooled on...

FJ40 Power Window Update: This is going well so far and looks like a simple install with no modification to the steel doorframe. Here are a few photos. This morning at 5:30 it was 60* and dry. TV says this is an anomaly for this wretched July...

Also got all four brand new shocks and installed, and almost finished painting tranny (the pic does it no justice as I spent hours chiseling and wirebrushing every speck of clay I could find). Also upgraded to bigger acid bath. More acid please.

Update as of June 2025: So this year, I survived my 5th Rubicon Trail run with the Wagon Run of the 37th Rubithon. Jeff is no longer the Trail Leader this year since he is now the new Chairman of Rubithon. Ray took his place whom I also wheeled...

Cleaned up the ignition switch

You need a board or rubber matt to shield the battery from those bolt heads. Buy the biggest battery that will fit.

Yes, I still have all the goodies mentioned above.....However, they are packaged for the outside chance the EFI system fails and I want to go back to the old school carburetor world.
