Bob - check the second post in this thread. I keep it updated. Look about half way down the post under "Parts we need."

Shop supplies/tools we need are listed there too but the most important tools and supplies we need are tables, jack stands, floor jacks, HEATERS, and any hand and/or air tools you want to bring. If you bring tools though please have them clearly marked as belonging to you so we can make sure everyone gets their stuff back.

Thanks!

Hey just throwing this out there Steve, tools are a must, floor jacks, everything you have posted I am sure will be used and appreciated ( Like the Heaters )

But I have heard no mention of anyone bringing a Radio, Stereo or Boom Box So What kind of Wrenching Music do you all listen to ​

Also I want to post up the names of those who have donated parts here to the house for this build, Shawn Russell, Landcrusher910, Rockcod , The guys who have posted up in the wanted section and mailed parts to Steve, My Wife Wendy for giving me the go ahead and making this trip and My son William for his time digging thru my parts pile helping me find stuff. That said I am counting the days until my Flight.

Rob's a rockstar!!! LOL

Well ladies and gentlemen, we have a new sponsor.

I just got off the phone with Mark @ Metal Tech and WOW! Mark is sending a complete full cage with all the trimmings!!! Check out ~ M E T A L T E C H 4x4 . C O M ~.

And maybe the biggest part is Mark contacted me about the offer. This shows what a good guy he is.

Thanks Mark and Thanks Metal Tech!!!

Time is getting close!

If anyone has tools you don't mind bringing please do - wrenches, drill bits, anything... Shop supplies including rags, grease, fluids, spray paint, etc...

We do need a good drill, also some grinders, air hoses, air compressors, lights would help too.

I also need someone to meet up with Cirbo near Charlotte to pick up a set of wheels, steering column and front shock mount. Please PM me or him if you can do this.

Thanks!

Overland Journal package is here!

I received a package from Overland Journal today. They sent some great stuff that will be given away at the event.

If you don't know about Overland Journal you should check them out. It is an awesome vehicle-dependent overland travel magazine - really good stuff. I just renewed my membership for an additional two years a few months ago.

THANKS OVERLAND JOURNAL!!!

I was planning on getting a whole bunch of rolls of those blue paper towels, mineral spirits for cleaning parts and some spray can black paint and primer...

I personally like the rusty metal primer and gloss black from rustoleom but if anyone else has better preferences I can get that instead (krylon etc.)

let me know

That sounds good Ant. I was thinking Rustoleum primer and gloss black. I swear the gloss black cleans up better than the matte or semi-gloss. You just gotta let the Rustoleum paint cure well or it'll come off easy.

Weze really need a stock 40 rear bumper that will fit on a 72. A stock front bumper would be nice too.

agreed.

I'll pick up 5 of the big cans of each paint/primer

Awesome. That should enable us to paint the axles and frame!

Front Bumper

You can have the front bumper in the this thread.

https://forum.ih8mud.com/sale-parts/321872-fj40-parts-sale.html

Its straight, has only surface rust, but a few extra holes where a SOR brush gaurd was mounted on top. If you put those holes down, they would be less noticeable.
