Lift, front discs and saginaw. It has not run in 25 years so there will be a fair amount if other stuff to do.

BTDT. I did it on my first 40. Best mods ever. I was sort of on the fence about what to do with this truck because it is a bit of a survivor but someone had fitted some aftermarket springs and shackles qnd qlso cut the wheel wells. There is some rust in some difficult places and I think the F has a dropped valve...sooo wheeling rig it is.

This week's minor addition.
Not any great places to add art in a pole barn so built a small stud wall and hung some sheet rock since that likes pins and thumb tacks.

Thought I would toss these pics up.
Did a little decorating finally. Suddenly I have extra time on my hands.
Working on trying to get some stable wifi out there. Will post up my solution later.

I am certainly no computer wiz… but we have Verizon FiOS so I ran a hardline from the router to the pole barn underground about 160’. This got connected to an extender in the pole barn…my WiFi signal is available for about 250’ from my house and they charge $5.00 additional for the extender.. it it needs to be hardwired
2 cents…
By the way, I have that catwalk storage on 3 full sides and it has been a massive help for keeping less used ‘stuff” out of the way but available

Thanks. I have a P2P system to set up. Just waiting on my POEs. I would have to tunnel beneath my driveway to get to the shop if I did it wired. I consulted with a buddy that sets up remote networks as his job.

I have the same Toyota clock in my shop. Did you live in Virginia at some point?

Yep. Born in NOVA. Spent many years in Newport News (HS & college & some work). Also lived in Bristol 3 years. I have moved 14 times all around the country/world.

Ok so I used Ubiquity stuff to shoot wifi across the property. The two antennas are NanoStation Locos. Then inside the building is a Unifi AC Mesh UAP-AC-M as an access point. They were a royal paint to configure. I am sure if I had an idea what I was doing it may have been easier but there were no decent instructions and it really required (at least for me) two computers to be sure they were talking.
Here is the Nano on the shop. The other one is temporarily on a windowsill at the house plugged into the router/modem until I can run som Cat6 through the wall and mount it outside my home office.
Here is the Mesh access point on the inside.
The POEs are linked with a jumper. Kinda messy but I strapped it all together to try to neaten it up a little.
I had nothing inside the faraday-shop before. While I was finishing up I had two laptops streaming music and video, a tv on youtube and a phone linked. I'll take it!

Glad that you have it solved. For the hell of it I found this for the iPad …the desktop blows this out of the water

Garbage laptop in the house.
I installed LocoM2s a few years ago to get internet from the house to the shop. They were a PITA to install. Instructions were worthless but I muddled through by watching youtube videos. I'd previously tried a pre-configured system but could never get it to work. It's worked great since but I was worried it had gone out a few days ago and was dreading having to figure it out all over again. Fortunately a series of turning each end off/on got it working again.

My experience too. Youtube was helpful but I chaulked it all up to magic once it suddenly all started working. The Unifi AP was far more difficult than the Locos.
The guy that made the suggestion on the system said he has had success using the locos from five miles apart. Pretty impressive.
