What did you do with your truck this week? (3 Viewers)

[BMThiker]

Drove it home from the hospital with my precious baby girl! Jenna was born last Tues. Mom and baby are doing great! That family membership pays off.

Friday the 100 gets new boots on the front end and new OME shocks all around...finally.

Congrats Josh! Cheaper by the dozen.

I washed the GX today...it was dirty..prepping for Sat drive to Jekyll. Have to figure out how to fit everything.

 

[BMThiker]

you need a trailer

 

[GXO]

Nah, it will all fit and we will be in urban areas for a bit (parallel parking, etc).

I don't want a trailer! I may need one, but I don't WANT one!

Replaced all the heater hoses behind the motor of the 80. Not hard at all when you have the proper tools like a fork lift a pallet and some rugs to lay on.

Dang that is a great idea I don't know why I didn't think of that: and yes I usually do have access to a fork lift while I have broken my back bending over the fenders of the beast standing on a stool. This looks way easier.

[Trollhole]

I did feel like I was cheating.

Real Man of Genius - Marshall.
Most appropriate clip I could find. Plus I'm pretty sure you probably did this one when you were younger.

Marshall,

That sure beats climbing on top of the engine and trying to to break clips and hoses.

Not my truck but i did finally get to see a good friend of mine last night who just got a '74 fj40. It has been restored and has a few upgrades. He signed up on MUD already but hasnt made it over here yet. I told him to come over to UC so hopefully he will in the next few weeks. His username is red74fj40

Got the newest 60 up and running, she sounds great! even with an out of tuned carb, and I'm sure some misrouted vacuum hoses... I'm sure something is not hooked up correctly...this one came from CA and has the high altitude compensator system on it....

 

[CandyPants]

New windshield for the pig. Preparing for eBay!

 

[dbenke]

Got my front bumpstops installed on the 62 today. now just to get rear shocks...

Used the 62 to pull a trailer with a pallet of mulch for a side job.

Used the 40 to collect pollen! Needs a bath a a cruise out to the beach.
