I just got back from Hobby Lobby with two, because I don't have a wife. One for the house, one for the garage. They're 40% off too.
Drove it to the mountain to take my daughter skiing today.

I saw one of those signs before. Problem was it was after we had traversed a narrow trail and bailed off a small drop off so there was no way to ski back. Yes I could have carried my skis and walked but for some insane reason that wasn’t considered. There were other people behind me and I didn’t want to look like the fool that……..well you get the picture. I skied down that run as slow as humanly possible with my rearmed puckered tight and scared to death. It was awful.
Joined the cult and drank the kool-aid.... yeah I'm a sucker for garage swag.
$20 @ hobby lobby, 2 left at the 98499 location if anyone wants them.

Well, I bought it.
Hauled my buddy's jeep to my house to replace the engine. He has had this jeep nearly 20 years, and been wheeling it since he was in high school.
Picked up my 4plus carrier from having it powder coated on Thursday. Started drilling the holes in the cross member last night and drilled on hole this morning. And damn those holes are close to the factory bumperette holes. Also curious what others in the area where there OEM tire carrier was.

2 degree shims from @orangefj45. Back to 1 hand steering at 75+ mph.
In awe of the bumpers my brother made for my FJ55.

What an absolute noob
Simple but effective. I like it
Started my first axle rebuild. I was shocked to find out the diff already had a Detroit style locker.
I’m planning on replacing it with an ARB.
Reused my tube bender engine stand to mount my pinion on a piece of plate metal. Thought a profile tool and a plasma torch would be quick work, but it was way more trimming to fit.
If anyone still needs pro bono hours in the PNW and have done this before, I’m buying the beers

Honestly the best mod I've done yet...crazy how game changing it is.
Still in body work purgatory. Opening every cavity to clean it out and remove rust before I start re-assembly. Found some PO had dropped a screwdriver down the post hole for the hard top. I played the most excellent… Wild Stallions! game of operation and retrieved it. No way in hell I’m letting some Philips Head screwdriver violate my restoration. I may have left it if I knew it was a JIS.
And a couple of rust photos for fun.
Two public service announcements: 1) do not put any undercoating or bedliner type product under your 40. It just traps water and causes more rust (my opinion, take it or leave it) and it makes repairs more difficult,. 2) this is a my bad situation. I sandblasted the tub. Don’t do that. It gets into all the seams and cavities and isn’t worth it. If I had to do over again I would have the tub chemical dipped. Oh well, next time.

2nd that. My PO had the ENTIRE of the inside of the cab rubber lined
I'm still removing it in some places, and the rust that it hid is mind blowing.
