Well My truck is still clean, I just drove it around all weekend for fun. Almost bought a new bicycle but am teasing myself as of now.

Drove my 40 around town yesterday and today. I went to go home last night, no headlights regular or high beam. Marker lights worked. Turn signals were 3 outta 4. Not bad for 10 mile drive at 8pm.

 

[FJ40Jim]

There is a 40 in my shop right now that has every OE light working correctly. Hours of effort were required, and it won't last long, but it can be done.

 

[phishtaco]

Have you messed with the H41 gears?

 

[FJ40Jim]

I moved the box of H41 gears so I could sweep around it. That counts, right?

 

[phishtaco]

You swept?
I'll probably try to come out to see you one day this winter. I'm thinking about leaving my 40 up there in my parents barn with my old man's cars.

 

[zebrabeefj40]

You swept?

You would not recognize the place! The walls are getting white, there are lots of real working lights and even working outlets all around the shop now.

I thought aliens took the real Jim...then I helped push a junk German car into the shop and realized I was wrong.

I did see a FJ40 out on the road today on CC hwy. Multiple primer and paint color with rusty rockers.

so you still have a pile of carbs then ?

 

[jrod770]

Jim question.

Jim, Jerid from Granville here. Let's say a certain fj55 owner may have drug home an old BMW 2002. If he did, for some crazy, beer induced reason, would you be interested in a carb rebuild on it?

 

[FJ40Jim]

Hey Jerid, yes, I can fix that. But I am swamped as usual so it would be a month or so before I could think about it.

And if we can't make it nice enough for street use, it could be made into a fun Lemons racecar. Hypothetically, of course.

...as Jim sets about fishing for more teammates for his LeMons effort...

Keep up the good work, Jim!

Jerid, go to the LeMons site for more info: 24 Hours of Lemons - Home Page Warning: it's big fun!

And Nick hands off the glass of blue Kool-aid...

 

[jrod770]

I can wait. That little thing is so much fun to drive, like a street legal go cart, that likes to flood out real easy and smells of mouse piss. For $500.00, I couldn't go wrong.
