How many 12v do you have and what do you want for them?

I’m not sure but I should have enough for a gauge cluster. And just postage

Took the 73 for a drive to keep batteries charged! Will finish mounting soft top in a couple weeks. FYI I love the soft top

Oh my. That's a purdy top

Finally got to oil change in engine, trans, tcase and axles. Some less than pretty stuff came out, but nothing too scary. Definitely will be taking another pass at it in not too terribly many miles.

No pics from today's fun so a pic of Pico with the truck camping at lake havasu.

I made some steel spacers to help me gauge how much I needed to limit the rear doors' travel.. I can't have them open too far and bash against the bumper swingouts hinge posts.
It turned out the right side door check needed no change at all.
For the left side I welded a new pin in place similar to the factory design.

A shiny new ARB air compressor (that replaced the oil soaked and possibly ruined compressor installed by the resurrected guys).

Great solution on the antenna mount!

The 77 came in handy for picking up a new filter for my pool. The old filter one is toast and I can’t patch it.

Would never be able to fit even a 1/3 of this box in my PZJ70 it seems like.

Wow @malteser, these look great! I was considering returning a HAM radio I bought as I could not find a place to mount it. Are you making them to sell? Would you consider it?
Thank you
Peter

Sorry mate, don't really have the time. I'm not a pro either, so fabricating stuff is a slow process for me. I had bought this CB over a year ago and only found time to install it now.

Thank you for your reply and for providing mounting points I had not considered. With skills like that, I am sure you are busy!

unpacked my pre-christmas gift to myself. The only down side is that I’ll have to wait until I get back from Hawaii to install it.

Thanks once more! @cruiseroutfit

Prepping a 76 this morning for a build. Had minor shipping damage...to be expected but not a problem.

 

[i4c4lo]

I need to do this too.

But unlike @saltycoconuts I am not going to Hawaii
