Are those wheels still available from Toyota? I had some FJ Cruiser wheels like that but they’re the wrong offset and require spacers. Are they 16”?

I took the day off yesterday and ran 3 tanks out of my backpack blower and burned all of the seasons leaves off. This am I was predisposed at a funeral.

I got back and took all of the parts to powder.

Got home to some parts. The box looked scary but the radiator is A-OK.

I made a call to Sam, the owner and gave him an update and got him a little closer to understanding where we are on the budget. Henceforth we agreed to expand the project to include all new steering parts, suspension and a 4Plus tire carrier.

I just sat down and ordered about $3000 more in parts. I should have most everything I need to stay busy on this thing for a few days while stuff starts to trickle in.

@Meshal says they are pretty common there but are Chinese. They are a great size and width. Never seen any this style that fit without spacers either.

I'll look for some markings when I pull a wheel.

At least the sup's got his eyes on you, Good management keeps Tilda Bogue Srevice in order. Curious since you got trees, how many yards of leaves you guess you burned ?

I do it twice in the winter. First 1/2 fall and then I tackle the last ones. I only do the immediate area around the flower beds and the pool area and any stone we have (lots)

Probably 30 piles like these.

You put the ash piles in your compost ?

No, they are not good for that in this soil. Plenty of that.

Drove down to this old school place called Belt Warehouse today to get some belts. The OEM ones are NLA

Got back and started in on the motor.

Valves first

Built out the rest of it

May go ahead and stick this thing back in the truck today.

Receipt says August 2023

Smart guy. Definitely panic bought an AISIN this morning that I probably won’t need for another year after seeing the vendors running out and prices going way up.
