it's a lot. aiming to get a good start on timing, h2o pump, radiator, coolant hoses, and a/c system this weekend.

I've had a lot of help from @OlYellr and my son korbin, and my wife emjay. as in wouldn't have a fraction of this done over the last 3 weeks.

bryan and i put the passenger side window assembly in last night and I didn't take a pic. ill put one up later.

some Rando shots…

The rear “window” was really aluminum cut to shape and everything was secured with window weld. Sucked to cut out.

Was able to bend the aluminum to remove it from the frame to get better leverage to cut with it out. Window out and time to clean the weld off fiberglass.

Days later…

More days later…

“Hey Bryan. I got an awesome idea. SAS is just around the corner, let’s do the other side.”

Some more shots mainly of some part numbers used getting the assembly done and ready to install.

This clip (listed as a sub) was too short in length. It is listed as a sub on Amayama.

Cleaned old and installed after installation

made it to ft morgan tonight. stopped off in denver for this:

and this:

looking forwards to a long shower, a soft bed, and a bathroom to poop in without the whole campground listening in. 8^)

i jest. it's all part of the adventure right?!

landcruiser people are the best. @Broski next event let's coordinate getting together. there was so much going on that we weren't around much.

was good to see you @joekatana. we'll be by in november to pick up some more 70 parts. it was fun chatting with you and @bottombracket the other night.

some very cool 70's there, i tried to connect with everyone, but i think i missed a few.

thats all tonight i think. gonna just chill for a bit then get some shut eye.
