Got a few more little things cleaned up and ready for the upcoming swap. Motor mounts cleaned up and painted. Bolts organized and bagged ready to go.
Drove it around the block before putting it back on the battery tender...

Finally finished up my tire carrier. Time to drink a cold one.

I been stayin in the BOD area lately, Mr. SEO...
Took the family on a little fishing/light wheeling trip. Nothing too difficult, but did get to flex it out on a rock pile, and use 4 low. Also convinced my 4 year old that she wanted to go with me on the next wheeling trip in the process. Finally got to do some family wheeling, which is why I got the 60 and not a 40.

Haven't been slummin' it with the common folk much lately...
My FJ Cruiser is missing a front bumper - hope to have it wrapped in tubular goodness in a few weeks.

i traded her for a 40....then blew the engine in the 40...now looking for parts to put a SBC on the stock 3speed.
and getting the conversion kit to make it a 3 on the floor.
Really wanted to do a mercedes om617 swap later down the road but in order to put her back running ASAP i'll just throw in a running SBC...don't care what size...v6-v8 so long as she's carb'd.
Later on i'll make an adapter kit. Until then...i'll focus on gettting my DD back on the road

I think I have a v-8 to stock 3spd or sm420 bellhousing.
If anyone knows where I can find a couple of 27 hour days I'll have a lifted 100 to show off. Working for the BSA in the summer is a clock killer. Hopefully soon though.
Cussed at it for a good while last night as I tried to get the distributor to turn so I could adjust the timing. Gave up until I could change the oil and see if it was any easier with the filter off.
Tried to put up the jeep car tent my dad found and gave to me. This thing is monstrous. At least as long as the cruiser is. Plus the door is obnoxious. Bigger problem is that it doesn't wrap the truck tight enough to keep the bugs out. Going to have to see what I can work out. Please don't laugh at it...

Finally fixed my airline that burst on the trail at the Overland Workshop. When it blew, I thought it was a radiator hose. I jumped out and popped the hood, but didn't see anything. Then I checked my air gauge mounted to one of the rooftop tanks and figured it out. So while I was re-plumbing that line, I started in on the air horn plumbing. My compressor stuff is all 1/4npt and the horn stuff is all 1/8npt, so it took a little hunting around to find all the brass I needed. Got everything but the switch and relay installed.
Also sanded down all my recent dings and dents and put a base coat of galvanizing primer. Thinking I'm just going to go the cheap route and not invest in a professional paint job. I'll just spot paint and clear coat as needed for now. I may end up with some kind of bedliner material on the lower half anyway.

The way you wheel it you should just bed liner the whole thing and throw a solid axle under it! You can tint bed liner anycolor you want, even red!

I wanna keep the silver scheme as long as I can. The red is just accent color. Never gonna put a solid axle under this rig as long as it is my daily driver. It will be paid off in 2 months and I'm most excited about that!
Always wondered if it would live to see that day the way you drive it
Glad I didn't enter the pool... would have lost that bet
