[Lifelong40Fan]

Yeah, the last thing I want is a perfect pig.

 

[Lifelong40Fan]

Done. Attendance at an afternoon college baseball game is a terrific motivator for kids cleaning up dad’s messes!

I miss playing it. Being in the stands is kinda like watching grass grow.

Front just about completed. Front springs in, disc brake axle in, new calipers and pads in, brake lines all in and connected. The tie rod ends should arrive tomorrow and once they're in, that completes the front. I ordered a new brake booster and MC today. Decided to go with early 80 series units. I was going to put in a proportioning valve too. Anyone have any suggestions on the proportioning valve??? Cheers!

Pre-ABS master?
Is it for disc/drum 80?
Wondering if the ports are on the side or out the top?

Aussie locker and rear discs in. Finished painting too. Time to get back to rear springs. May take another detour and swap in H41/split case. We’ll see how ambitious I am this week. I want to swap those in before the pig party.

Man your Killing it!! Good thing Opening day is a month away

 

[Lifelong40Fan]

Ugh, really hoping for an opening day. ️️️️

Here we go. Starting to get ready to take the 3 speed/tcase out. The floors are in such great shape. Really spectacular!

 

[greenbeast]

Wow, you did get a nice one!

 

[WarDamnEagle]

Great shape indeed. Do you think the floor pans have been replaced? I ask as it looks like some type of bedliner (or other coating) has been sprayed on. Could just be the photos though. If they were replaced they did a good job.

 

[Lifelong40Fan]

I do believe the floors have been replaced. They did do a very nice job because it's hard to tell.

Didn't get much done this morning beside having the rear sway bar slip from my hands as I was installing it, knock me in the head and scratch my glasses. And then I decided I'd work on adjusting the front relay and tie rods only to discover that even when the ends are screwed in as far as I can get them, both rods are too long. Mud was caked in each and ruined the threads so that the ends won't screw all the way down. Frustrating morning, so I packed it up and drove the 40 to work.

Stupid thing is the work before me has been on my mind most of the day and I'm looking forward to getting back at it with the lump on my head and scratched glasses.

Cleaned and painted the FJ60 bellhousing. Disconnected and pulled the 3 speed tranny/tcase. Putting gaskets and seals in the H41 and tcase this weekend if parts arrive. Otherwise, back to rear spring. Good morning of work!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Good morning of work!

Yes it was!

Little diversion from my tranny/tcase diversion for bucket seat purchase. Over 3000 mile trip to NM this summer just got a lot more comfortable. Sure hope they fit. Gonna be close.

What are the seats from?

 

[Lifelong40Fan]

A Chevy truck. Not sure the year, but they were listed as fitting 99-06 years. The combined width is 59” and the 55s door width is around 57”, so I’ll probably need to modify somehow.

 

[PabloCruise]

Or just close the doors really hard...
