It was just over 70°F here in western MA on Wednesday, so I took a few hours off from work and got my '77 FJ-40 started, to pull into my shop for some work. Last time I had it out was doing some driving in our fields with some little kids, but it looks like I picked up nail or something afterwards.

Looks like we swapped you weather. Been under 40 all week, was 75 a week and a half ago

Hah, yeah man! We usually get some warm days in the winter, but this was *really* warm. Of course, on Thursday, we got more snow.

As a side note, I've been having a hell of a time fixing that flat tire. After trying all the of tricks / tips I know of, I think I found that it's actually a defect / problem in the bead of the tire. The area where the bead won't seat looks like the bead has separated from the tire a bit.

Thanks! Kelsey puts the videos together so I'll pass along the compliment. Cheers!

To keep the thread on topic here is some 8274 patina.

Here is my FJ40, Goose, affectionately named by my daughter by the way the horn sounds! Showing signs of red primer peeking through on the front fenders and a little rust in the typical spots. Runs like a champ, great opportunity for my kids and I to spend time together in the garage and a blast to drive. Would like to stop the rust, but don't want to repaint her anytime soon. Plus - the dents have stories that I'd hate to cover up!

On the drum, but that day I'd pulled the old line for a new one.
