Yes. Bought it from Partsouq. It won't be cheap but it is new. I'm sending it to JimC for tweaking before it goes on the rebuilt 2F.
Obviously haven't mounted it yet so assuming it will be a direct fit for a 2F. @OGBeno brought it to my attention.
What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (3 Viewers)

What is the purpose of modifying it prior to install?
May need to be rejetted, etc. I want this done right the first time so I'm sending it off to a expert.

See this more than I’d like….make sure to reinforce carbs when shipping, the vacuum barbs bend so easily and bending back is rarely possible 
Plus the barb has a rolled end which is…well I don’t know how to copy it exactly. So spares it is. Or new tube but no tapered end.

Switched up the RTT to an Autohome Maggiolina. Sprayed it with RaptorLiner. Had to cut & weld the rack to shorten it 2 inches.
Installed my @TRAIL TAILOR rear bumper with the factory fuel can mount design I sent over to Jason. Super stoked with the results. Also finished up my Dobinsons install in the rear, along with the C channel reinforcement! Guess it was a trail tailor fan club weekend! Last shot was just a cool view as I emerged from underneath after drilling out C channel rivets..

Installed a new grill and headlight bezels from eBay (Tong Yang brand from Taiwan).
Also installed the new D Pillar and Front Fender Vents from @TRFarmers. These are really well made replacements.
Old vs New comparison. Nice to have pins again as all but one of my originals had broken off.

Wow, those look fantastic. Thanks for posting.

Fired the LS3 Erod, finishing up the interior and grill.
Moved it out and brought in the 6x6 chassis.
Painted the 6x6 lower bed.

Couple of days of field work in the Red Hills of south Alabama, still under drought conditions but my return will see lots of mud. I've been working on commercial timberlands, almost always behind a locked gate so access is limited and camping possibilities are good. This time I camped at a wide spot along the road.
The actual field work is done on steep slopes and often requires the use of ropes and vertical cave gear.
From this location I followed dirt roads on an old county map attempting to reach my next destination. Six miles of dirt, a couple of washed out stream crossings led to the end of the road and I had to backtrack.

Love this. I do a fair amount of exploration in my area using USGS maps which include old logging roads, some of which were created during the civil war to access hardwood trees. These were use to make charcoal in order to fire the blossoming iron industry in my area at the time.
Replaced the wiper linkage with a crispy brand new NOS assembly thanks to @HemiAlex. While I was in there I swapped the blades to some oem fj80 wiper blades and also added marine grease to the new linkage pivots. I already have 4Runner wiper arms that I pulled from the junk yard. They’re actually due for a repaint someday soon. All of it runs smooth as silk now. Here’s to 30+ more years.
The use of paper maps is dying. I work with younger people who depend upon map apps on phones. While these can be useful there at times, especially where we work in remote areas, where the map app may steer you wrong. I'll use a range of paper maps, state road maps, county maps, topo maps, and others to know where I'm going and what road type I may be facing and terrain.

Electronic GPS is very easy to use and fits in your pocket, so it is probably here to stay, however I always prefer to at least look at a physical map of any area I'm in. If nothing else I may see something I want to go check out that I'd never even know I was close to when following the blue line on the screen. Turn by turn often will get you to the specific place you set it for, but what are you missing along the way?
I was hoping wed get some rain today but there was not one cloud in the sky. hahaha@dbbowen bet you were hoping for a heavy downpour right after that bit of work to get that "Ahhh, yeah" feeling.
