I’ve got a hood rusted just like that. Great looking repair.

Yeah I’ve learned ALOT from the mud forums. I can’t thank your guys enough.

Trying to finish swapping in new TREs (Luke's Hi-Steer), forgot one had to be reamed for the GM stud. Borrowed a ream from a neighbor. Didn't think it would take all day, it did. Plenty of breaks to let the drill cool down.

I have a Consew 206-RB.

Great machine. Swapped in a servo motor which was money well spent. I bought it used for $800, so I could redo my boat, knowing that I could sell it for the same price when I was done with the project. That was almost 10 years ago. I can’t bring myself to sell it. It’s incredibly handy to have it available and it gets used about every month on one thing or another.

Redid my seatbelts here: HERE

The boat turned out pretty well too.

Looks good. I’ve got boat east of you that needs new upholstery. Bring your machine out to the grind and I’ll put you up.

Made a treat bag for my copilots:

Practiced my skills for future cruiser projects. Lined leather pouch with drawstring top.

Getting along with the cat.

If you check the “reviving a dented hood” link in my sig you will find more details.

Breaking news from the It's the little things category:

On the left is my 45 year old part # 87294-60031 AIR DUCT NET (NLA) in a sorry state of affairs. On the left, courtesy of @78Cruzr and his ultra cool 3D printer is a reproduction of the net.

Fit perfectly inside the blower housing:

The foam rubber gaskets snug it against the firewall opening.

MESOHAPPY!!

New booster from CityRacer. It’s made quite a substantial difference.

Finishing up some small details(need to detail next)

I haven't posted much over the last couple months, between moving, starting a new job and being cruiserless, I didn't have much to share.
So I flew into Anchorage last Friday and spent the weekend tackling errands and spending time with my brothers. Today I packed the forty up and drove to Valdez. Hoping to just drive the piss out of it this spring and summer.
Here's a shot from the Caribou Creek pullout

More snow as I came up on Thompson Pass

6hrs and 280+ miles later

Couldn't ask for things to run much better. Just looking to enjoy it for the foreseeable future.

It was time.

Working on the top. Pinned the hardtop to the new gutter with clecos. Plan is to flip it and fit the front portion of gutter. Pain to do it on the truck.

@CruisingTheLand …you will be amazed at the ride quality improvement

I'll second this. I was really surprised that I could actually feel a difference. I think the biggest difference is that the crossmember between the rear body mount and the next one in had rubbed through the OEM canvas spacer and it was metal on metal. When I hit big bumps, I think there was a clunking coming from this interface that is now gone.

I’m excited! Biggest surprise is that the rear tub sill had been replaced by square tube at some point, complete with bolts welded in. The way the rear “body mounts” (really 3 strips of some kind of rubber) were set up, it actually was only a spacer for the tub and frame bolted together

I did nothing to this 40series except take a photo. It was on Norfolk Island the other day.

Decided to spend some serious cash and fill the tank!
