No. And my drivetrain is farther back than yours will be because due to the H55.

No issues.

One loose belt and low PS fluid.

Ready for Thursday morning to go to the Swine Soirée

Pigs are a beat down. In the end it’s worth it but the journey Can be a challenge

1040 mile trip. Zero issues. It’s unreal to know this turd was 2 even bigger turds two and 1/2 years ago.

Can’t wait till SSS20

Looking good. 2.5 years and only a couple hundred bucks later. Lol

Nice evening for a cruise in the Warthog

 

[wngrog]

Finally got this Green Weenie 40 running so I could move the Warthog into the shop and see what it needed after the massive trek to SSS19

It took a sip of engine oil, a bit of PS fluid, lots of grease and I drained the front diff since my breather hose came off.

It may have had a tiny bit of water in it, but it was not milky.

A little touch up paint on the sliders and that’s it. It’s ready for the next adventure whenever that is.

I was feeling real bad at the Swine Soirée when I was following @Voodoocruisers with those dopey Stark LED headlights.

Beno turned me on to some Toyota Koito H4 headlamps and I bought a set for a 40 I’m building, my 40, 55 and 45.

kit comes from Toyota with 2 lamps, 2 bulbs and a wiring harness to upgrade your stock harness. It’s basically plug and play if you have the correct ends for battery. I had to put larger hoops on mine.

I did a bulb test in this thread. Page 3

FJ40 Head Light Upgrade - LED Bulbs

Only @YoYoHo took the time to show us a actual Land Cruiser with the KOITO's installed , my post's were all on my work bench during my R&D phase of Kustom LED Bulb Equipped KOITO Kits , I determined early on the Semi Sealed Beam Housings would have to be Artificially Angled Down Further...
