And ……… our buddy Glen aka @Flatlanderfj40 has very graciously offered to supply a Terrain Tamer parabolic suspension kit!!!!!
We’re thrilled to work with Glen and Noah and very much looking forward to not only seeing the progress for this build, but also a report on the trip itself.
Glenn and I feel very fortunate to be in a position of being able to help out members of our community and we love being a part of this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Looks great, Georg. Supporting this one was a no brainer for the Kansasland Tire team! Thanks for working with us to support @50peaks and his team.

Looks like I’m going to have to step my game up a bit once Noah gets back to KS!!

BTW if none of you have ever had a chance to tour the McPherson College Automotive Restoration facililites where Noah attends, its worth a visit…. or better yet, take a week (or two) off work in June and participate in one of their summer school courses.

Here is the podcast interview that I had with @50peaks it is really a cool story especially to hear it from him.

On this week's episode of the podcast Noah Durham joins me to talk about his upcoming epic adventure a 2000 mile road rally down the historic route 66 with his 76 40 series and a group of his McPherson College classmates

Good job, Dan. Quick and interesting listen. Appreciate the shoutout @50peaks

Huge thanks to @Flatlanderfj40, @orangefj45, @mtn biker, and everyone else who is supporting and following along with my journey. My ride will definitely be more enjoyable and comfortable now thanks to the new terrain tamer suspension, new steering components and no more rear output leaks for me.

If anyone is coming through McPherson ever let me know I would love to give you a tour.

I would have liked to go on longer but I was getting a weird echo ( I tried to edit it out) and it kept throwing me off of my game. But definitely listen to the episode and if you are able help support @50peaks.

Here’s a link to the dual-seal rear extension housing kit and installation instructions, just in case …….

Noah please send your old housing back to us when you are done with the job so we can add it to our core pile.

Thank you!

Speedo housing leaks? Valley Hybrids dual seal rear extension housing kits.

We’ve had a number of inquiries for these recently so I thought I’d start a thread. As most of you know, the most common transfer case leak on any FJ 40, 45 or 55 is typically the rear extension housing and E break area. Quite a number of years ago somebody came up with the idea to put two...

You re-assemble much faster than I do…. must be my bad combination of obsessive/compulsiveness (everything has to be perfect!) along with ADHD (squirrel!)

Have a safe trip!

@50peaks Damn it man! Your making all us old farts look bad with the speed that your assembling your 40. Keep up the great work, the world depends on young go getters like yourself to make it happen. Great thread!
