That looks like a special place. Also looks super relaxing, but you better hope this guy doesn't show up...

I got it out for a shake down run.
Over the last few months I’ve been upgrading with the focus of road manners. Coming from bias ply swampers and caster bushing, it could be a handful on the road. Recent upgrades include tcase gears(hi and low under drive), all new rod ends, DVS 3L arms and rear panhard bracket, 315/75/16 yoko G003, and alignment.
It’s never driven better! Very satisfying!

Quick morning.
Breakfast sandwiches with @Corsocaravan and @Butt Ugly Chuck and these little guys. Love these guys so much and fun to have around.
Got a 80 creeper skidplate knocked out and a 60 rear shell tacked up for the next build. Time for some weekend rest now.

Randall made #12-6" little bear bowie. Similar to a Randall Made #1-7". I am assumming that is the knife you speak of.
Decided to mount my Co2 inside my 80. Can access everything from the slider window. I’ll get some more photos up once fully painted and finished. Was able to use all factory bosses.

Man! How many have you built in the last year?
Complete rebuild with RCV chromoly axles, Wit's End knuckle huggers, 100 series brake pads, braided brake lines, Slee's front shocks, drag link, tie rod, and billet front control arms, Fox 2.0 shocks, Dobinsons adjustable front panhard bar, and rinsed some pollen off her.
(2) lubed and adjusted hood latch that wasn’t staying closed
(3) opened box full of rubbers! ($1k worth of window and door weatherstripping for reinstall after glass out paint job next month
(4) new bumpers for hood

If there is a harder way - I will find it...

I would not use masonry blocks to support the jack stands, way too scary. Wood would be a much better choice. That block can shatter.
Should have bought a Kobalt from the hardware store for a fraction of the price. They are all made by Danaher... that's why matco, kobalt, and gear wrench tools all look suspiciously similar.....Just giving you a hard time
Even if your using matco I think you will be the first place I look if I ever need a replacement motor.

Yah I hear yah I have broken a craftsman, husky and gear wrench in the last 6 months even a cornwell that they wouldn’t cover the warranty because it’s so old. I got that set for $100 and have good luck with there tools. It’s getting hard to find pistons for my rebuilds so hopefully Toyota keeps inventory coming in for future rebuilds.Should have bought a Kobalt from the hardware store for a fraction of the price.

I worked Snap On for 3 years. In 3 years I rebuilt multiple pre 1940 ratchets. We kept rebuild kits for every snap on ratchet ever made.

Merl got a new voice this weekend. Finally swapped in my exhaust from my old 80. The stock exhaust was rust free and leak free but needed O2 sensors, the mounts were torn and it was whistling like crazy. Plus it was clanking on my slider. Surprisingly, every bolt from the stock exhaust unbolted with no issue, came apart so easy. Love this rust free 80. My other exhaust though, was built and welded on my old 80 so it required some work to get onto Merl. I had to cut the muffler off in order to get it up and over the frame rail again and then used a 2.5" clamp to clamp the muffler back on, bought a new hanger and let her rip. Check engine lights are gone, the whistle is gone and now she is breathing a little better. Would like to get rid of the flanges and get some v-bands welded in and also a tailpipe because it's currently turned down from the muffler.
I was a Snap-On dealer in my early yrs. If it broke, I fixed it or replaced it.
