Rig Of The Month Interest???

[Henry James the 47th]

I'll take February 2009 if no one else has taken that spot. I oughta be done my re-build well before then.

 

[Mikesta]

can you open up december for someone else... I no longer have a 45

 

[friel01]

come on

I dont think that no longer having it should disqualify you. You still have their story to tell. And maybe the new owner will chime in with progress made by then.

disqualify - I've looked it up. I will keep it only if someone isn't biting at the bit to boast about their bad ass cruiser. I do have a story....... long and would like to share it... but dont want to bore anyone. I've had 4 FJ45lv's and 1 LPB. If others can agree with your theory, then I would be happy to share my experience, if not... NEXT!!

easy act to follow

besides, you wll be following me in November, and at the rate I am making progress this hot Phoenix summer, I may not have much to report. I thought I would have driver by then, but it might not make it that far in the resto by November...

 

[orangefj45]

i'll take march or april of 09. it'll be my troopie or one of my customers'.

 

[friel01]

want to trade?

Okay, I was/am signed up for November, but here it is September 1, and there isno way I am going to make it to a drivable rig by November. I would much rather wait and post when I have something beautiful, than while it is still currently torn to bits prepping for paint.

Anybody want to take my November slot, and I will re-up for late spring?

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Torn to bits is the best way to start the story.

In my mind it does not have to be driveable. Then again my better half said my mind is still in another country, but that is a story better told around old vets.

 

[flaminbandit]

sign me up for a month

aussie fj45 thats still in aussie

[Mikesta]

Would anyone like to Take December? I no longer have a 45. If not... I'll slap something together in about a day or so.

 

[cruiserbrett]

We can leave Dec empty and continue with the schedule in Jan if you want.

45 of the month etc...

Thought I would make an apearance and add my 78 fj45. https://forum.ih8mud.com/attachment...nt.php?attachmentid=564336&stc=1&d=1318629376

not sure if the pic will appear or not. Project truck is not quite finished but here it is if the pic comes up.
Rebuilt from a galvanized frame up, suspension correction kit, reupholstered split bucket heated seats. Roll bar, fold down jump seats, exnay on the 2f and transplanted a B motor with 5speed. turbo to come later.
Paint is all original from Canadian tire undercoat spray can.

Enjoy

Aloha, I just finished reading your" soapbox and stories. I loved it. Another kindred spirit. I believe I bought some parts from you about 6 years ago when I buillt my 73' FJ40. I am beginning to look at my 67' FJ45 with longing and planning in mind. My most immediate needs are for a fuel tank that ethanol and rust has not killed. I have a poly tank in my 73' and hate it. It has leaked or filled my rig with fuel vapor ever since I put it in. Any good ideas? I have a 5 gal. marine fuel tank in the 45's bed with no return as a temp. stopgap. The 45 is a spring over, 350 v-8 with a 71' 3 on the floor on 33s. I love it but the rust has made it a midnight runner only. soon to be revived for hard service. Thanks, Capt. Bryan.
