Builds 76 Fj40 Face Lift

Since the whole conversion hinges on the availability of a 10mm wrench, you may want to invest in this set for cheap insurance.

The elusive 10mm. I think they have a built in cloaking device. You can never find one until you’re looking for a 6mm, then they all roll out from under your work bench and taunt you with sarcastic quips about your Harbor freight wrenches.

Nabbed a few sets of those from TSC. Now I can lose ten 10mm sockets at once.

Range day. MC - RTB

New tailgate makes packing kit easy…Took the secondary roads up and back. Fifty-few miles total on the ticker. Speedo died in route (again). Cruised at about 2k RPM Guessimating by traffic 60 couple MPH. Temp looked good, Dino pressure looked good, volts looked good…not a bad shake down if you ignore the speedo…

Headed back to the mountains Monday noonish. Still owe a AC/EPS review. Going to add some city/town driving in for good measure.

Crazy how many personalities that truck has in different lighting.

Ain’t it the truth. Reminds of a former GF.

Out with it, how did you shoot?

“Spark plug, air filter, 10mm socket, broken speedo”

Some clays were broken- snagged my 20ga OU, didn’t check the chokes, dusted off my trigger finger and shot about a 40. Shot the new course cold, hoping next time will be a little better.

Old geezer saying I’m passing on to you. “You miss every clay you don’t shoot at”.

Shot three rounds. 21-24-20 today (I faded). As of today, I’m an official member of the gun club. I don’t know who does their background checks but, they really $uck.

It’s all connected:

I ran into a couple old Huey (UH1H) jockeys that I flew with waaaaaay back when helicopters had skids (like God intended). Well I really didn’t fly, when I wasn’t along for the ride, I mostly fell out of them. Spent the better part of an hour telling questionable stories followed by Mefloquine dream interpretations and then we wrapped it up with outright lies. sooo, pretty solid morning.


This is how I’m rolling next week.

My favorite part of that pic is the Scottish Claymore poking out of the top right hand side..

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 dino.

Total poser pic after an over-landing excursion in the back field…Ran over some deer $#!+ just to keep it real..

If that rig were mine I’d have a lawn chair sitting in that very spot where staring at the mule would be a daily task under that shade tree.

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 Meade Hall. Seriously thinking about pulling a tour of duty as a rower, 2nd seat, on a Roman slave galley just to catch a little R/R.

Good news is, with the new top and climate control, I’ll be pushing the limits on my driving season this year until the salt scourge takes over the roads.

Poser pic II..

2.0 in the Mule about town mode today.

Stopped off at “JR’s” this AM. Dropped off one of the old door cards and a set of Aussie blanks. Moved past the spit in the dirt and draw with a stick phase into the lets seal the deal handshake. It’s late in the season but I’m a repeat offender and my “pay the man with cash” approach to upholstery helps grease the skids.
