Build My first '40 and the venture

[sogncab]

Dude, isn’t Nebraska like postage stamp tiny?
It’s like a neighborhood. Just head a few blocks in whatever direction and there’s Bryan.

You're confusing the flyover states with the east coast.

What Nebraska lacks in length it makes up for in width

That’s the second time I’ve heard that today

Why were you talking to my ex wife?



I believe the proper response/ affirmation to that is *can't bottom out a tuna can, but it'll raise hell with the edges"

Why were you talking to my ex wife?

As part of my charity work I council trauma sufferers.

She needs it.

Thanks,

Full court starting Saturday with demo. Going to take parts and Yellr Friday to friend with lift and request leave.

Will start taking picts of parts and posting today.

 

[OlYellr]

I'm almost to Kearney now. Might hit you up on the way back Friday depending how the schedule pans out.

Just let me know. No problem if you need a stop.

Time to photo-bomb my own thread.

Here are all the parts I have (still waiting for a few parts odd & end)

First up - the Dobinson suspension, 4 degree shims and the 4Plus u-bolt flip kit.

and

Clutch tube and stuff

Brake tubes, hoses etc

got a @Racer65 City Racer booster -

 

[OlYellr]

More stuff to take on....

Rear Axle and hub

U-joints and some new bolts & parts

Rear leaf bumper and bolts that broke removing the bracket. Waiting for the other bumper.

Do I need body mounts?

Ok then...
new body mounts..

 

[OlYellr]

And...

front axle and hub parts - will see if I can rebuild the warns on there. Ian had issues with his and I read the Aisin hubs are going to be no more, so I grabbed some to stock the shelf if not

Parts for the knuckles...

80 amp rman 62 Series alternator with Coolerman conversion kit (plan for the Electronic Power Steering some day) - have a batter gage from amazon and may install it somewhere

Rear brake parts...

front brake parts....

Let us know how you like your Dobinsons shocks. I just got 4 of the IMS59-50635 Monotube IFP Shocks & SD59-823 Big Bore Steering Dampe which I hope to install this weekend. Replacing OME yellows hoping for a bit of a milder ride.

 

[OlYellr]

While at it....

Rear axle and diff parts -

Front Diff parts...

Parts that are common to both and not really in one or the other (some parts I bough 1 or 1 set of and whichever diff needs it most gets it i IE the gears (41331-35020))

I also did one diff with OEM bearings and the other got a kit from Valley Hybrid (@orangefj45)

Time for an oil change too -

The light kit - might be later in June - not part of this first drive, but who know...

and some stuff from ToyotaMatt and SMG pins - the hood is definitely going on

 

[OlYellr]

I want to do a quick shout-out to @cruiseroutfit, @orangefj45, @Racer65, and @cruisermatt for their help and/or hiring patient people to deal with my questions and help me.

So those are the parts - rolling up the sleeves very soon, Packed Yellr up so I can spread out in Russ's space and we will knock it out what we can - regroup and try again.

Picts as the work unfolds....

 

[RevISK]

Do the light kit, it’s simply amazing and quick.

You’re giving me a backache with the rest of that stuff. I’ll try to come up and I’ll knock out what I can for/with you.

If you need/want my spare warns let me know.

I got the IMS too - for my year it was 635 on the front and 649 for rear

Replacing all the OME stuff too for a milder ride. I got the medium springs - will see if that is too soft.

I put a new dampener already else I would have gone that way too. Anyway - will let you know.

Thanks - I have a kit for warns but if they are just ok, I may go with the new hubs. I love the look and seeing them on Norman made me pull the trigger on them.

I want to do the alternator first. I read that that light kit does draw more than stock. Be that as it may. I have a limited time to use Russ's lift so really want the axles and suspension and maybe body mounts. The alternator, lights can be done anytime/anywhere...

Dang, if you’re not careful there won’t be anything left to fix on Yellr.

Hubs are an easy swap whenever but that shiny gold sure is nice.

What? Passing though? Exit 426 - is the exit - then take a left, a right just past the Testicle Festival now or in August on way to SAS.

I'm coming through again. I wanted to stop, but I'm pistol whipped tired and still have 5 and half hours to go.

Why are 80s so big on the outside, yet so tiny in the inside?

 

[sogncab]

This one?

 

[OlYellr]

I literally just got off the interstate there coming from Omaha.

If you need a place to crash for a few, no problem
