Sweet looking tyres too! What make and size are they?
Green Bean
SILVER Star
I use the Zerex Red 50/50 coolant and eth free gas 92-89% depending upon availability.
Thank you very much! The tires are a set of Federal Couragia 30x9.50x15in still stock suspension so I can’t go much larger yet.
Good to know that Zerex coolant is also an option.
Do you know by any chance if the Toyota premix 50/50 pink cap/color is compatible with the Red concentrate?
Your gauges look to be in the same positions as my 77s at operating temperature -
I did the same thing with the mirrors, and yeah I found the idea here too. It was @roadstr6 that I saw do it first. It's held up over 3 years now, seems to be a good setup 
. I used factory mirror part# (87901-60011). I deviated a little and just did 1 slice with the dremel and then twisted the piece to fit it on the arm... twisted it back once it was over the ball and then soldered it back together. I can't solder or weld very good, but the end result has been okay.

My gauges also look just like that with the exception of my 50amp meter that barely moves a whisper sometimes.View attachment 3542675

I can’t stand this plastic mirrors. I have tried to eliminate the convex view but finally found them…again, plastic. ….this is 101% for me
EDIT; ordered 2 of these at $23.24 each…it that possible?

I've gotten so many ideas off this forum over the years! I love this place and all you guys
Package arrived today straight from Japan. Wrapped up very well with brown fiber reinforced tape over every seam and around the middle. Not surprisingly it arrived safe and sound.
I have ordered from several of the overseas sources and these boxes arrive like packages of cocaine you see in the movies. It takes a Sheetrock knife to get into it

Do those break as often as the Pig rear tailgate handles? Very similar arm design…

I’d say yes… although I’ve never had a Pig. They consistently break where the notch for the lock lever is cut. This will be the third for my truck in the time I’ve owned it (since 1991)
Took 'er out for its first drive in over a year. Fired right up.
I run regular gas, which is usually 10% ethanol here. I run ethanol-free in all of my 4-wheelers, lawnmowers, and etc. but I drive my 40 a lot and it would be very expensive to run ethanol-free in that.
When I still had the stock temp. gauge, it looked just like yours. Now that I have a calibrated gauge, it sits right at 180 degrees.
Drove the 40 about 30 miles one way for a car show every one had there hoods popped so I joined in. Lots of love so far even got an award.

Drove up to Miami Arizona to meet Dave from 4+ products. We installed this killer tire carrier there and I am super pleased.
After testing and test fitting the wiring harness cleaned up the wiring put it back in . Fired it up after 4 years tried to down load a video of that but couldn't so just go vroom ,vroom purr , purr and got the hood on
Finished the front axle swap about two weeks ago
