. Also, since I had to remove the front seats to pull the carpet back so it can dry, I decided to scrub them and rinse them with the power washer.

Also, demoing a rusted out 61. With some help from @CaptClose i
got the motor and trans out. Skinning the rest of the cat and putting her out to pasture.
Parked Roscoe for some driveway camping/pie making time... After all, a true web wheeler needs to embrace the suburbs and relax! LOL
Jealous!
Last week I removed the FJ62 front bumper which I had temporarily installed on my '86 FJ60 before heading up to the 2018 Solid Axle Summit in Ouray. The bumper came from my '89 FJ62 donor vehicle and is going to a new home in Texas @Michael Hanson. I had the replacement Warn winch bumper parts powder coated earlier this summer @89BIGBLUE and was waiting on the last of the new stainless steel hardware to show up in yesterday's mail.

If the rain stops for a while I'll install the new bumper today, before the first snow of the season starts to accumulate tonight.
While waiting for the hardware my wife and I headed up to the mountains above town to soak in some nature.
The San Miguel Mountains, with the Sandia Mountains above Albuquerque in the far right distance.

Next time we head up into the mountains it'll be in the '86 FJ60
Did some wheelin to a few local mines and geological features with our 4x4 club.
Got a chance to get a few shots away from the Jeep herd. And yes we got him out with just a little help from a winch. PS, No Jeeps were used in the process.

thanks bud, almost twins! LOL
Drove the 62 to Vegas for a long weekend with new 40G fuel tank. Good shakedown cruise can go just about 500miles on a tank in the hills and maybe 550 on the flat. Stopped at Nothing for lunch. Oh, and hit a small milestone during the trip.

I have always liked the tranny noise.Noisy is right! I thought it was just me...
Even way back when I owned my fj40’s The noise was there.
It’s a cruiser thing!
It does have a whine to it, like a wound up tractor!

The 2F is about as close to a tractor motor as you can get for a gas motor. It is a tractor when you put a 4BT into it.

No no no...that’s a clone. Zeroed out the miles when I put all new over the counter parts in it. Does not compare to a pristine original never apart low mileage truck like yours.
I too have fond memories of the H42 whine.
