I kinda prefer NOT to slide off the rocks.

Whew, dodged a bullet today. I was so afraid that my new pup, Luigi, wasn't going to match my '40. Thankfully, I didn't have to trade him off for something that better matches..
and for those who don't recognize a joke... it's a joke and merely another chance to show off my new pup. he's going to be just fine in it - he rode to the show without a care in the world (which is not what I could say about my prior pooch... he started great, but as time progressed, his fears eventually overwhelmed his desire to go)

and time to start training Luigi to stay in the vehicle until it comes to a complete stop
tips? tricks?
tips? tricks?
Obedience class? "Sit", "Stay". Didn't work for my dog, but always worth a try.
"Ditto" on the harness suggestion.

He just needs to get his Land Cruiser legs.... but between now and then, yep to the harness and seat anchor.

Time to fix an issue. If you turn the flow off to the heater, the truck will overheat. The fix is a bypass that opens when the heater valve is closed
the lines
installed.... probably should have got the 5/8" line but this worked with a bit of heat

Did that valve solve the problem?

yep. It also did on my Corvette (2 data points).

and what should I do with all my new-found coolness? why, install flamethrower headlights, of course.

to wash the terrible taste of working on my wife's Jeep out of my mouth.... I worked on this a bit too
now it fits, fully assembled
oh her Heep?
it's getting a new K9 cage system.... this is like version 3 or 4....
To Do list: larger divisible cage, drawer where the battery is sitting, battery gets frenched into that useless compartment, seating for another person, a gear locker, and better battery system to run the cage cooling fans, and swing open rearmost windows with metal screens then paint the top while.... might add a solar panel too to help maintain the house battery.

what is "some I'll probably never use on my '40"
answer
the 2" die, that is... but cool anyway
what I will use, though, battery tender
in that vein, did a bit of rearranging, didn't need double batteries anymore
I can use them in the Jeep for the new setup, so I went with a single (which I may move to the front and add an accessory tank in the back to help with its abysmal range)
in the jeep
jeep is also useful for teaching dog to jump into a car because it's much shorter

starting the day with something simple... replacing an alternator
jeepdate.... I only put this here because some might find it useful
so the theory is the floor will be even with the top of the wheelwells, with drawers under the floors (batteries under them), then a gear cubby behind the driver's seat with 2 passenger seating beside it....
it also will have a flexible solar panel to help maintain the batteries that run the fans and radios. It already has water storage along with cooling and heating with the engine off (evaporative).
we do Search and Rescue with bloodhounds. hopefully this will be the last jeep based itineration.... she wants a Land Rover (is it oops that she'll end up with a 60, 70, or 80?)

This is Kinsey and this is Kinsey's car.... not my wife's car. Kinsey's.....
not Luigis
but Luigi is the model dog
now assembly
pads in case the worst happens
actual plans
mocked up with the divider... hope she likes it
Keep in mind that Kinsey is a solid 100 lbs, her siblings are 110-120 and big bloodhounds can get to 160 (though rarely have the stamina to do Search and rescue).... point is this has to hold 2 bloodhounds temporarily (transport on missions), but the entire area will be Kinseys (and the puppy that is going to happen sometime in the next 12 months)
I think the cages are too small.... but there is no more space available
