What did you do on your 70 series today? (20 Viewers)

[Owyhee Jackass]

I replacement mine as it was burned to all hell. They are still avail new if you want to spend the coin.

Thanks, I saw one on Ebay.au, 'won't post to U.S.' though. I also need a new cabin lens as mine looks to have been melted by the bulb at some point.

Is that toggle supposed to slide? I don't want to break it. Also, does the switch ground the circuit?

Our local folks @beno can source States side. Also these are new LED that you can see on my build thread..... When I'm not on my phone I will link directly.

Found this is the local scrap yard here in Uganda for $120. It's made by Fujitsubo Giken and retails for $1750. Obviously has some miles on it but still a pretty good find. Installed it this morning and it purrs. Will now be working on making a dump pipe.

Few more mods to @mmcinnis troopy bumper.

Installed my Spider Trax spacers last night. I thought I had a brake problem as I asked my wife to step on the brake for me for the front rotors and the darn things were spinning freely. I went to see what was going on and she was pushing the darn clutch instead of the brake... She has only driven this RHD beast once.

Ah.... girls and cars.

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

A little more done. Now that everything is accepted... tomorrow or Monday it will be finished up.

I'm very excited to see this mounted!

Paint can wait! (got some primer down at least….) Gotta put this to work! MUWhahaaha! My plan of using dual receivers off the front of my trucks is becoming a reality!

Basket made for the 60 will see service all over the place….in this photo my go to tree rigging tool (portawrap) is on the right and my rigging box is on the left….Thanks Jason!

(My front porch is EVEN BIGGER than the factory original!!!)

My wife had the truck detailed in preparation of me coming home!

Thanks for letting my last 70 bumper be a fun build.

Started patching the drivers side inner rocker, made the patch in my "inner rocker patch panel maker press"... I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Plenty more metalwork in the thread :cP

 

[jblueridge]

Finally had the time and the right weather to get at a rust bubble under my windscreen rubber. Other rust spots attacked at the same time.

I really want to like this but saddens me

The FRP rack is powdered and installed. I don't know who is more excited me or @forrest5000 ... HA!

@colby1979 he is what you wanted to see buddy.

He can chime in if he wishes for a few comments on the fit and finish.

Finished re-creating the drivers side inner rocker....

Made a patch for the drivers floor over the rocker, re-creating the ends of the ribs...

And welded / ground it back down again. Just a few more spots and this side floor will be done. (Finished the other side earlier).

 

[colby1979]

Awesome!

I feel very lucky to get my order in before the deadline, if I would have waited and then seen these pics it would've not been good.

Great job Jason!

I don't envision putting a lot up there but may need one of these just for hoisting top on and off. Looks great! Any chance for detailed pics of the weight distribution feet?
