waiting on a steering gear box from west texas off road. as you can see the box leaks so bad it leaves a huge puddle overnight. look under the drivers front spring on my driveway.....the HOA loves my driveway stains.:flipoff2:
 
My trollhole carb came in the mail yesterday.....
Now its time to pull the smog crap and get this carb on there. I am really excited about this carb as I put one on a fellow cruiserheads 1968 fj40 and WOW! what a difference....Im sold on them!!! highly recommend this carb. I'll get some shots of the carb as well as the desmog.
 
Tom, that truck looks AWESOME!!! Beige is an excellent color for a 40.

Thanks Johnny.....
its been a little over a year since I started this build and its almost finished..just need to slap that trollhole carb on / desmog and finish the rear bumper with a tire rack and some other goodies...I just started replacing the interior door panels with new grey vinal..looks really nice inside. also waiting on the headliner too.
 
Also got some new seats from a nissan 200sx they are soooooo comfy and match the grey interior on the doors really well. I'll get some shots of those up too.
 
I know tom.
 
37's would be sweet for sure. I say you get more engine and more gearing. Of course that's right after you win the lottery. Then you can buy the tires also. What's your homobiling schedule gonna be like? I'm crossing my fingers for lots of barn time...

Looking like Thursday - Sunday all winter.
I'm plannin the 5.3 or 4.8 and 4:56 this spring...Im gunna run with the desmog and trollhole for the winter. I'm up for working oon rigs in the barn now that that lift is operational.... we need a plasma or a torch up there.
 
what? 5 day work week? WTF? That's crazy! Your disco is locked? Don't lie to me.
 
that's amazing! I read Thursday thru Sunday but somehow thought Wednesday thru Sunday thinking Monday and Tuesday off. Didn't go to school in Wasatch punk.
 
Today is the last warm day before snow and I am attacking the demog and trollhole carb today...... I will post pics when finished. Very excited about this too.
 
8:30pm on the east coast, so what's that, 5:30 on the west coast? You done yet??
 
Wow....
after installing the trollhole carb, I drove and drove and drove......WOW!!! thats all i can say!
I also dropped a dented side cover plate and fj60 elec dizzy. Man I cant tell you how overly impressed i am with this set up. Anyone considering the trollhole carb, I say go for it! I can attest to the performance. Just a few adjustments on the idle and choke and off to the races I went.
I also got a few shots of the new seats as well as the new vinal I installed on the pass side door.
