Worked on installing @orangefj45 saginaw kit today.
This was replacing my home brew bracket which was a weld-less set-up and I'm sure I didn't execute it as well as it could have been.
None the less spent some time while I was in there and worked on getting my 2F alt to fit below as a dual alt set-up. Its a work in progress.
Inspiration for the project:
FJ60 Dual Alternator

Very cool @NookShneer ! Isn't it awesome how you can mix and match the front accessory drives of these motors? I plan on the same setup, Saginaw pump and dual alternators, but my alternators will put out a bit more juice

Thinking along these same lines. Wanna see what you come up with.

They've both been done before just not at the same time on a 3FE to my knowledge so the only thing I should have to figure out is what belt to use.

Do you mean in addition to the little aluminum angle brackets covered in sticky adhesive tape that is the mounting system for these lights?

Yes, that adhesive tape will come off on either really hot, or cold weather......
I took that off and used the 3M stuff......
Great photo!!

Went to the greyhound bus station in Elizabeth City Nc and picked up the door I got from @mel lowe. I thought it was the same color but it slightly different no big deal I have to do some painting on the body where it also got smashed. Very happy!! @mel lowe also held the door for me until I got my $ right! Thank you again!
Hit up our local cars and coffee and got to see a right hand drive bj62? See minute 1:29 in the video. Or maybe an hj61? First time I've seen on in person. It was cool. And for sale if anyone is interested.
Anyone's here?
Also a neat well built and capable fj40 that I'm not sure who the owner is. Had a tlca sticker. Around 1:12 min in the video
Missed my ONSC brothers, cause I showed up late, but still got to see some neat cars/trucks. Still trying to figure out how best to edit these dad-production videos.

Ripped out the steering column assembly to get at the upper U-joint by the firewall.... I may have gone a little nuts with this steering refresh project.
Back on the road after engine and turbo maintenance.
Been there, done that, let someone that unlike me welds stuff and it stays stuck together weld it.
Spent the day in the parking lot rebuilding my rear axle seals and bearings, next up is a blue sea fuse block and E39 seats

Couple weekends ago I finally got pissed off enough at the drivers side window tinting being so faded and hazy... It was peeling at the edges and genuinely so scratched and faded that in the morning when leaving for work it was hard to see out (I leave about 5:45am). So I pulled it with a heatgun, razor, some goo gone and elbow grease. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!
So fast forward to yesterday and I had some time to piddle around on the cruiser. I decided that all the tint needed to come off as most of it was cracked and had peeled around the corners. Took me about 2hrs to do this with the heat gun and everything but holy hell is everything BRIGHT now. Was somewhat funny as the wife had me run to the store right after I finished up and when I left the house I initially thought that I still had the rear gates open because it was so bright inside.
The one MAJOR benefit to doing this was that I found multiple breaks in my defroster grid which has not worked in a couple years. So now on to attempting to fix that and if that doesn't work then looking at one of the FrostFighter upgrades like I had some time ago.
