Wasnt too terribly bad actually. 179 for a 19x22 universal 2 row. Added an overflow bottle and Tstat to get over 200 for free shipping from summit.

That's purdy Jason! Very good company to deal with. I'll be working with them soon on a new design for an 80 series. How are you going to attach the shroud? Let me know if you want help with a sheet metal shroud like this one. This went into a 62 with a 5.3L Vortec

This beautiful 88 FJ62 rolled in on a trailer yesterday for a Vortec re-power. Trans died while it was put on the trailer and it bled out in front of my shop.

Washed it! Hoping to put it back on the road this check. Still need to replace A windshield wiper arm and bolt up the seat belt for the seat in the cargo area. Been a good day.

With the side tanks and no tabs probably going to attach to the tops and bottoms with some al channel to clear the tanks. But that ones a beauty and I may be in touch. Right now its not cooling enough even at hwy speeds. Pulled the winch to see if its partly airflow related

 

[NCFJ]

It is just pulling air from the sides rather than through the radiator. You are welcome to come down and build it here yourself if you like. Will need the truck here to do it right.

Headed back to Asheville for a project and back the long way. Linville to Wilson creek to 192 to Richland road over to Boone. Good bday trip for the brown dog who turned 10 sat

That is a great photo Jason, shows the essence of the dog. Brodi reminds me a lot of Bayou.


I pulled the front clip off the 62 today.

Took my daughter down to the lake for time on a friends boat and some night fishing. Had a great time. Love driving the 40 on the highway. Especially at night.

Bought some new aftermarket rear hatch struts about 5 months ago… They totally died. I installed some new ones on Sunday.

Cruised Horse Pasture and realized I had found an ATV loop just a moment too late...

 

[the gimpey one]

Oh crap! Get it out?

Oh crap! Get it out?

Oh yeah, nothing my collapsing shovel and winch couldn't handle. And a 16 ounce can of whoop arse. That winch pulled her nose 90 degrees to the right two feet! Amazed by it. Several people stopped to ask if we needed help, but there's nothing anyone could do but watch. It was what it was and I had everything I needed to extricate her...

That is what I like about mounting a winch on a tray and using 2" receivers front and rear. You can mount the winch on the rear and pull yourself out the way you went in. I'd think about a bumper that does not hang out as far as well.

 

[CharlestonG8R]

I'm glad to hear it wasn't damaged! That's a gorgeous vehicle. Wish I could've been there to see the extrication.

It's a stock toyota bumper so it is what it is. It does stick out a ways, but I like it...

It would have been worth a laugh watching us. It only took about 30 minutes to dig and winch out of it without damaging anything. Thanks for the compliment. Yes, she is a good looking rig methinks...

Thanks to Marshall went from this
