A journey with my boys- The Elf Barn as I call it. (6 Viewers)

[regretful]

I hear ya! I was at an Austin cruiser meet a couple of weeks ago at a brewery. Great group of Folks and trucks. Hope you are connected.

I am. I've been to a couple of meetups but started a Sniper install just as the spousal unit pulled the trigger on a new kitchen in an old house, (I do most of the work) and would be embarrassed to show up in a Ford truck. I really need to get on the ball before it gets really cold.

BTW, I really like your barn.

Elves getting clothes for the season. Sizing options are surprisingly available.

Da Fam did a little vacay in SoCal. First time. Hung around Newport Beach. Nice. Got lucky and found a coffee and Ferrari event on the Pacific Coast Hwy heading south. @landcrusher909 was not too far so we took a trip to visit him near the San Bernardino mountains. @SipLife and @Cowboy45 got to drive an HJ47 Troopy. @Cowboy45 wanted to see how it drove. It would be similar to Old Landy when done. Good and time with Rob.

Oh and Pinks Hot Dog place is way overrated. Never did a review in my life for restaurants. I did. Had better dogs at Sonic. I ripped em a new one. It was the pits.

I’m glad you guys got away for some RnR! What did the boys think of the 47?

They loved it!!! Thought it would be bigger than it actually was. Great rig!

Bought a version of the Michigan wrench to heat metal cherry before bending. Size 4 acetylene rosebud.

Shoooo… That next round of crème brûlée is really going to be somethin’!

Hey @thatcabledude minor correction. We have graduated from Creme Brûlée to Creme Catalan!!! It will be wicked still. Handsdown. We will wait for your next barn visit.

While on the hunt for tundra steelies for the fj140 build, I managed to find a great deal on additional 24x36 commercial baking sheets for use in my mobile proving tray stand I use for storing build parts.

They can be used for Creme Catalan as well when needed .

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Got some bushings pressed out for the f140 build and was along side @SipLife as he rebuilt a FJ60 power steering box for his 40. Baking sheets put to good use.

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

So once in a lifetime. @SipLife is 20 on Jan 20th. He heads back to college tomorrow.

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

The future is bright.

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Ordered this. Three 80s. Will come in handy. May do some bushings for some $ for folks.

@ryaneddy16 joined us at the elf barn this weekend. Did some clean up, part’s organization lit a fire and enjoyed it while working. It was therapeutic. Ryan has a totally cool sleeper taco with a 1UZ transplant. Wicked. He does some clean work.

Thanks for letting me stop by!

@Cowboy45 and I headed to San Marcos to meet up with @fl4031003 to get some OME springs and OEM 80 series fuel and brake lines for the fj140 build. We also stopped by @CenTXFJ60 place to visit friends. Got to eat some solid BBQ. It was great to bond with my son. Nothing like windshield time.

Was great having you and Keaton out yesterday. And yes, I plan to get the truck bed cleaned out and a tarp over it . Funny thing…just realized the 60 on the lift in this pic is the same Sixty in the first post of this thread when RC started it in 2017

Dam…just saw this and realized I meant the barn thread in Comal County that RC started.

Scored an 80 series ARB this weekend for 50% new. Boys have been driving Angus our black 80 to college station. Deer country. We can now bring venison home. Doing a quick paint touch up
