I finally got around to doing a compression (dry) test today! What do you guys think?

1 - 119
2 - 124
3 - 120
4 - 121
5 - 112
6 - 117

Next time I head out to the garage I think it’s time for a tiny valve adjust too.

Well Hot Damn! I am one lucky devil today after winning Seth’s “Lily” on BaT. Can’t believe I will be owning such a stunning original FJ45 with such a cool back story.

Glad to keep it in the Mud family — and I know you’ll do some great stuff to the truck. Oh, and don’t be ashamed to call out any “previous owner” stuff…

@NYIronPig is that two 45 purchases in a weeks span? it's a good addiction

Wow. You stole that thing.

Wow. You stole that thing.

Yeah he did!

No one else stepped up on the auction… I’m sure I could have squeezed at least a couple more thousand out of him.

I'm just glad it went above my price range. still below value but I just wanted the body for a swap to 4 runner chassis. nice smooth driving 3.4, soft suspension and great patina.
