@Kian DUDE!!! Ok just went looking through your Flickr stuff and HOLY HELL! where is this place!?!?!?!?!!! I saw so much stuff in your pics that I wanted that my investment counselor randomly called and said NO and then hung up. There must have been a massive disturbance in my financial force......

Treated myself and the cruiser to the proper tools. Looking forward to using these bad boys. First project is to tear apart the dash and redo the HVAC system. Got them from here: JIS Screwdrivers Set / Reccomendation

First link is pulling up an error in MUD and the other just links a list of FJ40 parts. Are those the Aussie (Euro Spec) mirrors that I have seen lately??

Got the output shaft and gear in from @orangefj45 the other day, good stuff. Put new bushings in the high and low gears. Replaced the needle bearings in the rear output shaft. Got the preload on rear bearing set, and the rest of the TC put together and topped off along with the tranny. Sent a new list of parts to @beno, they ship Tue. Paid Marshall for another one of his @Trollhole carbs for the 75' 40. Ordered some hardware for it from SOR right after I ordered the carb. I'll order some Rust Bullet for the frame today sometime.

Started right up after sitting in the cold for two months, let it warm up and bombed around the yard for 20 mins best therapy everever

Managed to get it to do 85mph on the highway. Pretty amazing for a 4 cylinder diesel.

If you don't mind were and about how much were the mirrors. Thinking of changing mine. Thanks

Mirrors were purchased from the Ebay seller below. Priced $299 + shipping. I think the seller is @Racer65 vendor on Mud. May be able to PM / Ebay message the seller if they have/ can aquire more.

- Still need to order pads and Locking hardwear (don't want these babies walking off)

Conducted self recovery operations! When you're out by yourself, you gotta be able to take care of yourself.

I was STUCK...used the hi-lift to pull the vehicle forward a bit and was able to drive out. (Look at the dog! "Good job, Dad...what's your plan now!?")

@gregnash
You can check out the two sets I'm offering for sale in the Classified section. One set is at the price stated above; another set is offered at a deep discount due to some scratches incurred during shipping.

New carpet is laid down and door panel fabric sewn up.

Looks good Jason. Does he still have the patterns for the door fabric? Lord knows I could certainly use 4 new ones. Any idea on the price for those? I didn't know you were getting those done, too.

T,

I told him to make a copy of them and the cargo as well. I'm going to try and catch him tomorrow if time allows for piece pricing on the carpet. I'll ask.

OK, I finally finished my install of rear shoulder belts as per @roadstr6 and his rushing turdle

with some slightly different mounting as I have wagon gear panels. Upgrades the seatback to have headrests. So now the rear seat is as safe as can be for an old 84 vehicle. Also ran solid power to the right rear quarter to power my ARB fridge.

removed the air rail(rustiest thing on my 60) and installed the OEM(3fe) plugs in the head. I was really surprised how easy it all came off.......it was so rusted(soaked in Kroil for a week) I was able to just twist each rail with a 17mm wrench and the metal pipes broke, which then made it easy to get the rest of the plug out. the rear one looked like it would be a PITA to get to, but after the other 5 were off, I had the sawzal going to cut the hose off the check valve.....the vibration was enough to brake the back one off at the pipe Plugs went in and bottomed out nicely. No more leaking air rail and its looking much cleaner under the hood, working my way to a full desmog.

I did however manage to bust off 1 of the 4 bolts for the T stat upper housing. just the top 3/4" with head broke, so there should be plenty of meat left to get the rest of it out of the lower 1/2......but will leave it to my buddy who has much more patience than me

last weekend we did all new OEM calipers, wheel cylinders, pads/shoes, 4 hoses, master and all the pins/clips/springs/brake tubes etc. Had 1 piston that was starting to get sticky and both rear cylinders were just wet behind the boots. I did leave the DBA sloted rotors(and what where new drums) on, they only have 10,000 on them. Age is more a factor than mileage sometimes(and can't say I stayed on top of flushing the brakes)

Saturday drove past a forest fire. Fire was a prescribed fire for ecological restoration and management of longleaf forest in south Alabama.

Yesterday became stuck under a bridge along the Locust Fork in north Alabama. Winched off the bridge supports to reach a less slick spot.

Things I did with/to my 60-Series ('88 FJ62) this week(end)

1. Bought it.

2. Re-worked lights' wiring, relays, etc., so that all work, and fine-meshed all front lights & radiator. Will drive it back to Alaska in about 6-7 weeks.

3. Posted THESE pix for youz guyz to ogle! Didn't there use to be a Show Off Your Ride sub-forum somewhere around?
