Heck, the way us cruiser heads are, they could probably sell them!

@SipLife took a first pass at his top for bluebonnet.

Thought I would share some info on where to buy rivet tools for fj40 top repair. Stubby micro stops with a rivet shaving bit removes rivets without damaging the fiberglass top.

You can also buy a manual rivet squeezer or air hammer attachments that will do this for you also.

Not sure what paint you're spraying there @SipLife, but Future You may well appreciate a respirator. If you can smell it, you're breathing it.

Yea. Told him the same. One of those things where paint is mixed, reducer added, short shelf life, tight no wind window. “Forgot to don the almighty respirator”. Appreciate you sharing!

^^^^ This, I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah I typically always wear one, slipped my mind until I was halfway through laying down base coat this time and paint was drying quick. Will be sure to have one on beforehand next time.

What spacers are those? Size and brand?

I start to notice my filter fit gets iffy if my beard gets a little long.

Owner preference. Not a fan of spacers. 1”.

Ready for wheels and down from the lift. Adding 80 series master and booster (non-abs) with proportional valve.

Thanks
I’m not a fan either but I need them to run the FJ cruiser 17s.

Wheels in. Master bled, new proportioning valve line plumbed. Lines bled. Vacuum line is short. Called it a day. @Cowboy45 hustled. Also did basic alignment.

The "Old Man" comment was funny! To be clear, your boys hold you in the greatest of respect and appreciation. An award that you so rightly deserve my friend. Thanks for sharing, and leaving a roadmap for happiness, decency, and just plain living large for the sheer joy of it!

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Sorry to see this one go. We had fun. All glitches fixed. Brakes are killer, in a great way. Better than my tundra. Need to do this upgrade on my rigs. Wow!!!

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

This just came in. @bluehawk delivered. Great product. Ruler for scale!
