-Also confirmed that the communist state of California won't let you buy single stage enamel .

Better follow the others from CA that have moved to Texas.

Drove it to buy groceries and to check the new seal install on the parking brake hub for leaks.....Found None! Yea!!! And with proper oil level too!

Don't encourage 'em; too many in Austin already.

A whole lot. Remounted bumper, welded on new light tabs, made and installed sliders, finally finished my power steering, repaired some rust, and started tearing into the electrical wiring mess.

Oh, and most importantly I drove her for the first time in almost a year.

 

[waiting for time]

Took her out of the garage to do some sheet metal work.
Next is brazing them with CuSi3.

Sent from my iPad using IH8MUD

 

[taro]

I repacked the gears on my Ramsey REP 8000 so that it free spools out again!

 

[Gruntled]

Took her for a drive and a bit of a spring flex.

 

[Funkytown 40]

Remounted my long rear jump seats after My71fj40 sent me the SOR bracket kit for free (Thanks, Luke!!). Now need to find a way to support the seat bottoms before someone sits on them and bends them downward.

New Shoes, Seats, and Belts installed

Mounted new Wheels, Tires, Seats, and belts... It is getting close to being ready for the trail.

The tube doors are in progress. Tacked together to fit up, now I need to finish weld them and add the hardware.

Moved it back out side to the side yard for the Winter.....got a '80 Diesel Dasher to rebuild this Winter!

 

[ouroutdoorfamily]

with regreat we removed the cage from the 40 and I cut off the seat hanger tubes and remounted the seats to the factory brackets as they were sitting a little high and were very difficult to deal with getting in and out if needed.
So now the seats are almost 1.5" lower, which is nice and I'm doing some other mods to the cage so I'm driving the 40 with no cage and the windshield down becasue the weather is so nice out right now.
I am also adding fenders and side platforms to our trailer, I added new sliders to the bottom of my seats, although I was sent the wrong adjustment handles, so the seats are currently in the "back" positions.
We also have a new addition to the family, her name is Norah and she's a month old and already loves riding in the LC!

 

[Roboosfj40s]

She is beautiful! Congrats. The Cruiser is nice too lol

 

[brisveganbj42]

Fixed the alternator so it now charges, replaced clutch master and slave cylinders.
Re-inforced the rear bar and added another swingout carrier that'll fit a 64lt Esky or a 40lt Engel Fridge

So now its back on daily duties!

Also updated my Phat42 website and adding more mods, tips and trip reports as time goes on.

Yellow Chromate Dip

Tried the yellow chromate passivation on my zinc plated parts. some turned out better than others. It is absolutely all in the preparation.

 

[rachetz]

Took off the hard top. Rigged hanging support (Cabela's Electronic Game Hoist and a pulley). Moved Cruiser into my woodworking shop for the winter. Yes, I squeezed it through the sliding glass door (3/4" to spare on the sides), put it on wheel dolly to move into position. Now I'm set: heated & insulated, great lighting, TV, fridge, stereo, phone---> just need to find some time and money!

Now that is a "man cave". All you need now is a hose from your exhaust pipe to the window and you can do it just like Cheech & Chong's next movie.
