I like the one that involves pole!STRIPPERNot the pole kind
.
Not that I’ve even experienced that in over 30 years.
Do remember some of my 21st birthday. Shirtless laying down on stage at strip club with dollar bill in my mouth. Raised my head to see the bouncer signaling for me to leave, and I did.
I’m not proud of that moment..

Much as I appreciate a good stripper, I'd be worried about using it on a plastic housing. Good you have blasting available via KIm. Did you get leftover paint from Mike? What is grey looks a little darker than what's on Bonnie, which is the mix per Toyota code. A good automotive paint shop can use their photo gun and get a match to the actual color of the bumper. I'm also wondering if the base was just left on the fender and masked. If so you may be biting off more than just painting the housing.STRIPPER
Those looked pretty worked to get shiny paint, I’d scuff and paint. If you go all the way back down to metal you’ll see all the original imperfections, have to do coats of high build and maybe skim … just a rats nest where you prolly don’t need one. Love the transmission tech this morning, unexpected in this thread

I only got the two exterior colors that were left from Bonnie. If my memory serves me right, Mike did say he used same grey as Bonnie. Like you, it does appear slightly darker on Clyde’s bumper compared to Bonnie.
I’ll take reflector to shop has been painted to see what they can come up with to match.
47 years?!?Actually, our 47th anniversary was 5 weeks ago. You gotta wonder why? We were very young. I had my FJ40, she got the proverbial station wagon for carrying all of the kids “stuff”. My son was 2, daughter being born very soon and this F’ing thing broke down so many times. This was a brand new vehicle . I am thankful for those people whose homes she knocked on doors to use their phone. After 3 other engines, GM put in their Targetmaster diesel V-8.
We Visited her parents in Vermont for Christmas…-41*F that night and the diesel fuel turns to jelly….4 days later are still dosing it with kerosene to loosen the fuel. We finally had something she could drive UNTIL:
It is finally spring 1982. She pulls into a Gulf service station we would go to for diesel fuel and the attendant was waving at my son, distracted and fill the tank with gasoline. She got 1/2 way home and it dies. Long story short…Gulf paid for the repairs, traded it in for a new Volvo…mustard yellow like my other FJ40…View attachment 4074358
Congratulations!!! You must know a thing or two to be enjoying almost 50 years of marital bliss. Good on you.
I think I have bored everyone in here about tales of my '78 245 that I brought back to life to be my high school DD. That thing took a lot of abuse from me.
That sounds a vomit comet!My dad bought one of those, we had a small StarCraft popup trailer we pulled with it out to Big Bend. We got there late and the park rangers had already left the campground, so dad setup in the spot the though we had reserved (Cottonwood Canyon). About 11pm Ranger comes knocking, whe had setup in the wrong spot and folks wouldn’t swap after figuring it out. Dad was pissed, hooked up and tried to move spots w/o pushing in the slides … shattered the back window. We had an 8 hr drive home that weekend without a back window in that stinky Olds diesel. The whole family hated that car from then on
No sheet of plastic and duct tape?
I am guessing those guys at GM knew that they were going to lay an egg, but they were looking down the barrel of some EPA CAFE standard and thought, "This is the best bad idea we have..."
Or they didn't, and they were complete morons.
Is the timing gear cover leaking/weeping?
If yes, make sure some joker didn't bottom out the oil squirter...
Something tells me this balancer is not coming off for a long, long time...
If it were me, I would need time to place the key, and then knock it out with the balancer and then time to go get a shop light to find the key on the floor, and then time to go get a second light b/c the first light has a dead battery, etc...
Are we talking 6 speed vs 4?
I am pretty sure Ultra Grey is rated for oils, heat, etc...
Isn't that piece plastic? I don't think it will do very well w/ sand blast.
And then paint to stick to and flex w/ plastic.

Bonnie
Talked to Steve this afternoon. Previous P/S set up had linkage rubbing a shock. With the current set up little clearance between ps box and exhaust manifold.
Looking to swap steering set up with 80 or series set up to remove some linkages and tighten up areas where slop in the steering can occur.

something gotta give
I need to apologize. I guess my photography skills aren't quite as good as they should be and noticed the background is very blurry and out of focus on this image I sent to Jon.
As we know, it is @RUSH55 job to go through our backgrounds with his magnifying glass looking for clues and any oddities. While I'm sure he has the technical expertise to enhance the background and extract the vital information needed, I thought I would just take a separate photo to simplify and save some time. Let me know if I can help any more.
Sorry @bobm I don't have a dog so you'll need to continue to provide

You need to fix that.....
My dog is a bigger A-hole than me and between the two of us we have chased everyone off, the dog can now take long naps and I can get work done without someone yapping in our ear non-stop..
