Hello All,
This Thread will contain two parts, one being the overview of the truck i just put together, and the other outlining my drive from New York back to California.
Here's the Trip I have planned that starts next Friday (8/3/18) and continues (Hopefully) until 8/20/18:
Its going to be around 5,000 miles on this new build. I have completed~500 shake down miles already.
Now to keep this tech-appropriate i should move onto the truck:
The past few months I completed (well this stuff is never complete ) a powertrain refit in my 78 FJ40 I purchased off this board last May. I bought the truck from the previous owner in New Mexico, brought it to California, and did a bunch of work to it until February of this year. I had purchased the truck initially with the intention of doing this project, but decided to play around with it for a few months first. I shipped the truck to my Dad's in New York in February to get started. I live in California, so i have flown back and fourth many time to get the work done (Dad refuses to work on my stuff when I'm gone ).
Without any further adue, here are a few pictures from the project:
When I first bought it, driving through Utah with my Momma:
Not fitting very well in my garage in California :
Some of the minor rust repair:
Looks like its 5 pictures per post so to be continued...
