No more Baccarat?

Got a sample of these from Famous Smoke and switched

A little late winter Fluid Film for poor Patina. She’s lost her fully indoors spot lately

 

[wngrog]

A little more preflight work.

Because Patina needs love too

@JTU told me about these. Total game changer for a long two days in an FJ40

I like where your head's at, but I'd be scared to wear them in my pickup. I need to be aware when the hits the fan.

Doing work.

Got something cool for Patina. The top will be a while since she’s backed up with orders but this will be a cool upgrade

Maybe I missed it, but where did you source the 60 pump and bracket for the steering upgrade. I am looking at redoing the whole PS setup on our 40 and am looking at my options for replacing the pump. Got a ham can on it now but the bracket it's on has the belt out of alignment and the Saginaw box is leaking, so it will definitely be getting a new box and I am thinking about a new pump as well. Thanks

Honestly, it’s my favorite mud rig. The no top, coral seats, safety strap look is badass.

It’s got my wheels spinning...

Here’s one I’m considering, I’m not sure I’m quite that motivated, but the more I read, the more I get excited to do it

Glad you grabbed the LPB version!

Yep!!
I couldn’t pass it up!
The green turd bucket I passed on still gives me nightmares.

I made a dump run today then got the urge to go topless

Kubota makes it easy

I flipped it on end on a pallet and hauled it off for the duration

I love these seats.

The red top I’ve been running dies after sitting 3 days. I think i got it used from Boyd about 4 years ago. I had a yellow top on the shelf and stuck it in and polished the motor up

If only our ladyfolk could be so easily convinced...

Well, let's be honest, any lady who gets the urge to go topless on a dump run, you probably don't want to see topless!

Sorry I missed this. I pulled all the steering stuff off a parts FJ60
