Was Ford Datsun?
I’m thinking about a beam axle from Etrailer. Doing my lift with shackles and springs.
No
Ford partnered with Mazda in the days before the chicken tax.

Yup. That’s an early 70’s Ford Courier bed. A truck based of the Mazda B series
I remember them well, they were great little trucks. 4 Cylinder, 4 speed Manuel, am radio & heater no options.

That’s right, it was Chevy that partnered with Datsun, right? Chevy Luv?
That was the Isuzu, LUV = Light Utility Vehicle

I quit.
I just used a piece of 2" well pipe. You can buy standard hubs that fit almost perfectly into the ID, hammered them in with 3 pcs shim stock to keep perfectly centered and plug welded in. That way I could use 6x5.5 hubs and set the track width exactly where I wanted it. None of the "off the shelf" axles I saw fit my requirements. I retained the stock "3/4 ton" truck springs and put new shocks on it. That trailer probably rides nicer than most of the things I tow it with

One vote for Pollux orange… perhaps that should be an option for the SAS 10 flag

Well shoot. I’m having a hard enough time keeping track of my own progress.

If I won the lottery, we can make that happen. As of right now painting the 40 is putting me into poverty.
I thought about doing the trailer to match the 40, but that might be a bit much.
Silver/gray would look good.
I think I'm going to paint it Cygnus White to match the roof cap. It'll tie the two together, and not look dumb when it is behind the 80 or anything else.
I figure you were independently wealthy from all that high end work you do. And because you’re getting it painted at one of the most expensive shops out there.
I’m sure its going to be beyond nice !!
Get used to driving the 80 because when you get the 40 back the only place you’re going to drive it is Cars and Coffee. It will be that nice
That’s right! I can’t keep them all straight
When the snow melts I’m going to take my dirt bike to Ouray and do some exploring. I want to find some new mines and structures to check out. I still like running Black bear and Poughkeepsie. Hopefully I can find some new cool stuff to lead.
Far from it. I'm just retarded with money.

I can't say for sure on that. Part of the joy I've gotten out of that pile has been the weird places I've shoved it in. It'll get scratched, it'll get dinged. I just don't want to f it up too badly. So I'm not going to say you're wrong. I just hope you are.
We would love to tail gun for ya in our FZJ80 on a few trails Jason!
I’ve been installing a rear bumper and stuff!
