It's amazing how some things seem so hard but after you've done them a few times it's just another thing. The rear sill is one of them. Just steel layers. I just did another on my build thread.
Where you able to find this? I was going to order from him as well, but I don't have months for him to figure out how to run a business.
I'm using 5W-30 Valvoline Restore and Protect, an Aisan (single-pumper), mid-grade octane, and I just drive when it is cold. I don't need the defroster, unless the sun is behind the clouds. You can run a 30-grade summer oil as long as it is under 90F according to the FSM. The oil is allowing the rings to seal-up better, or something is making the engine have much much more cold-torque and less cold-throttle sensitivity. It used to foul all six plugs. Now it fouls none of the electrodes, two of them get kinda suity on their faces, but they are self-cleaning so they fire just fine. I probably went about 100-miles on the first oil change, tons of suity material in it. Rings failing to function is a reality, and you'll find plenty of Mudders who have posted broken rings. The cam lobes should be fine because the 2F engine surfaces are no longer attacked by a high dose of calcium-based detergent, resulting in caking internal exhaust surfaces with zddp, that and it is a tractor motor, not a high-rpm motor.
I'm not sure that anyone needs to use the Toyota Owner's Manual recommended temp-oil viscosity chart, or ditch the Weber 38/38 carburetor. But, I have to report that I get better economy, cleaner plugs, dirtier oil at a shorter change interval, and more cold-torque than ever.

Last Saturday I swapped my bypass hose
With a new one from city racer, buttoned it up and finally filled it with coolant today. If that is any indication of the last 7 days just insanely busy. Not complaining, however sometimes time needs to slow down.
Today was one of those days. Slowed down a little. 60* and sunshine, slight breeze here and there. The family and I spent from 11am to 5 pm outside enjoying it. Using some scraps we built a stand for my beer fridge, built a Barbie house, and a Lego hotel, complete with helicopter pad.
Hooked the 40 to the trailer and drug it out in the back yard to air out from its winter storage. Maybe it’ll get used soon.
Good day. Supposed to be absolutely beautiful the next few days here.

We’re hoping for 60*+ for the next 4 days…prior to this we’ve had 40-50 mph wind gusts, cold days and cold nights. If you stood in the sunlight, it still felt cold. The “ tv weather folk” are saying there will be no wind… that’s good because our house is in the middle of an oak tree forest and the leaves are a foot thick or better in a ton of spaces…
For the first time in 4 months, I have zero leaves to blow out around the house and can finally do some Land Cruiser stuff. I have yet to get the rear ambulance door glass reinstalled from August so….tomorrow it could happen

Wild Friday night. Tornado hit town here and A huge path for a long ways.
Saturday morning I went out and realized how thankful I am. The tornado was within 1/4 mile of my Exs house with my kids in it. When we built that house it has a 3 side concrete room as a utility room so it’s way safe. Also way too close for comfort.
Zero damage to the house, we cut for a few hours to be able to get down the driveway. Winched trees with the 40, cut half fallen trees, then went to help at the daycare my 3 year old attends and newborn will go. They had a complete loss of their house, however the garage and daycare are perfectly fine. Tornados are such strange things.
Truly amazing to see the community come together and see the amount of people helping others.
First picture is my old driveway about halfway done cutting. Second is the tornado path 1/4 mile away, third is the driveway to daycare after they cut it out.
Very very fortunate to not have anyone hurt. A couple towns away was not so fortunate.

Amen to that.
We didn’t even have a branch down in my yard about 10 miles from their house.
On the good side they have firewood for the next winter if not two

Another week, another tank of fuel. Finally able to test out my siphon setup before tumbling last night. I was low on fuel and low on time to run to the fuel station. So while she changed I siphoned fuel from Jerry and we went on our way.
After tumble we topped off with fuel and it held 16 gallons
Beautiful day today, time for a quick car wash.

Nothing beats the taste of unleaded ….except some hot pink Barbi Soap. Great to get the family involved…even the cruiser is smilin’
