Nice. I've been watching the thread and waiting in the TR's to become available. I'm hoping they are comparable to your JP.
@CrowleyFJ40 is doing the same. There were some recent pics and they looked nice, as they should be as a successor to the JP.
I don’t have much to baseline in the way of these things, but it was well packaged and feels solid to the touch. It is quiet and cooled down in the back of the 100 pretty quick.
Speaking of cervesa cooling, got the fridge slide fab finished today. Just need to paint it get it mounted.
That looks great!

Baby got a new pair of shoes. Out of curiosity I checked on the age of the tires that came with the 40. Only 27 years old, so it was probably time.

Been taking care of some rust and clearcoat issues on the front clip of boost.
Actually I'm sure I hit 300 a little while ago since my speedometer is now slow with the bigger tires.
And.. Note.. Rob has a working D light!

Just try to stop me...... I kind of listened to the doc yesterday of what I can and can't do.... a little... maybe..
Finally! Mounted the slide and compressor in the bed of the Tacoma.
Does your fridge tilt for better access?
I’m not that short!
I thought about making a drop slide but this is still easy enough for access and has been given the
approval. And at 55” in length it didn’t need to be any heavier. Ultimately the fridge will move to the teardrop camper someday... if I ever get around to building it.
Disassembled the 1HDT - #4 & #6 pistons were cracked/damaged and #4 had stuck rings (probably explains the blue smoke), and a decent score in one of the crank main bearing journals. Plastigage'd all of the bearings and all were within spec. Thrust on the crank was good. Thrust on the rods were near the edge of the limit.
Looks like I need pistons, liners, bearings, rods, and gasket kit. I'll have to see what my machinist thinks of the score in the crank main - may have to get the crank turned.

Wow.... never seen a crack like that...
I've been MIA on here for around a year... The taco got new UCA's early this year from JBA and soon to be installed plate bumper thanks to the mule deer up top the pass through Big Horn NF.
