[lextechautomotive]

As i'm already booked out a week in advance, It doesn't look like i'll be able to make it, but if the schedule changes i'll let ya'll know.
Thank you Jim, for looking out for me. Hope i can return the favor soon.

Picked up a nice rollbar today for you Glenn.......Do you want me to bring it to the HAMOM?.....?.....

 

[ocdbeetle]

Anyone want to bring it from the HAMOM? As you might know, the legs can fold inward so it can be carried flat.....Fits in the back of my 62 lovely.....Otherwise I'll bring it to Charleston when I come.....

I could but leave the next day for colorado so it might sit at my house for two weeks...but if you or dbenke cant bring it down I will.

 

[ocdbeetle]

OK....I'll bring it to the HAMOM regardless and we'll go from there.....

i have the carpet and 40top from belmont still in back of 60 as well. will the rollbar fit in back of my FJC or would I have to tie it on top of rack....in case I dont drive the FJ60.

 

[ocdbeetle]

IDK about it fitting inside....I'm going to have to do a little configuring for it to ride in my 40....It makes for a nice flat piece after the legs are folded...just bulky with the main hoop......

You bringing the Belmont stuff yes? Otherwise I'll have to bombard you with fruitcake in the mail.....One a day until the rapture......Can you imagine all the fruitcake you'll have by the time you get back from CO? I had to stop eating it.....It was like colon cleansing via roto rooter........LOL

 

[Brock]

yeah i will bring the belmont contraband....LOL

Jim still storing the roll bar for me? whats the typical storage fee in the Florence area going for these days in this depressed economy?
I'd like to possible come up that way soon and visit, the wife and i need an excuse for a road trip.
Maybe i can also take a look at the 40 in the area that has the disc brakes on it if there still available.

 

[ocdbeetle]

Yep.....Its only 2 blocks from where it originally sat....LOL......which is also where the disc brake fj40 is......

Jim,
Glenn also wants the OEM pads for the rollbar. I forgot to give them to you. If you all come over let me know so either I can be around or leave the pads so that you can get them. I also would like to get Glens opinion on the best parts for doing the mini truck swap on my 40. Alreay got the mini axles and some new parts but really don't know what internal parts and seals that I will need to replace for the swap. I want to replace any wear items. I have read so many threads and so many different opinions I don't know which way to go. I just want the strongest and best that I can get. I want to do it "right" the first time. I am looking at high steer and CV Unlimited or Longfields. I need someone with alot more axle knowledge than I have so I can make a list of parts. Axles are not in my forte. I have never torn one down other than CV joints and replaced hubs on the Z71.
