Just waiting for the Aqualu tub to get here. Our other tub sponsor was just leading us on on the back-order time. It started at 4 weeks and got up to 12 weeks before we decided to cut them out. We then contacted Aqualu and they were AWESOME! They shipped us a tub within a day or so of us paying for it! It shipped on the 21st so should be here any day now. Thanksgiving probably slowed it down. But awesome stuff is coming!!

Huge shoutout to Aqualu for sponsoring this build! Their tub is a work of art. If you are looking to replace rusty tubs/cowls/hoods/fenders etc definitely check them out!

Nice product for sure, but the hood is looking strange, clean 40 hood are easy to find

We have sourced a nice donor for the heart of this bad boy! Here's a nice running 2F out of an 87 FJ60. Can't wait to get this thing into the 40!

“Postal code”? Have the lawyers opened it up to north of the 49th? Or shall I have a good friend win it for me?

We weren't able to get Canada included in this one. But we do have a plan for how to let Canada participate in the next one. There will be a few places in Canada that won't be able to participate no matter what we do, but most of Canada should be able to join in the fun with the 2nd giveaway. There's no rules against having someone in the US enter for you though! #loophole!

We're super excited to announce another sponsor to our build. Larry H. Miller Toyota Murray! If you're from around here, Larry H Miller will definitely ring a bell. But even people who are not from Utah might recognize the Miller name as they are hugely involved in the Land Cruiser and Overlanding world. Greg Miller is the owner of the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum! It will be extremely helpful to have the help of the Parts Center of LHM Toyota Murray and we can't thank them enough for already helping us out in securing those beautiful wheels seen above!

There’s a Larry H. Miller Honda in Boise. Are they related? Can we trade?

I would be 99% certain they're part of the same family of dealerships. The Larry H Miller created something of an empire in his lifetime. He even owned the Utah Jazz and the arena they played in! He unfortunately died about 10 years ago, but his family still carries on the legacy. His son Greg specifically is a huge Cruiser guy. We have had the pleasure of meeting with him a few times at his Land Cruiser Museum for some joint projects and he's just an awesome guy.

More pieces to the puzzle!

The 40 is at the paint shop getting prepped for that beautiful Cement Grey paint color! So now it's time to vote for interior color!

That beautiful Classic Brown was the crowd favorite by far! Can't wait to apply this leather to the interior!
