Got my Safari Summer Top in the mail from SOR, and then had to test it out on a trail run with some other San Diego Cruisers.

Looks like Coyote Canyon. Love that place.
Pulled the door panels off, cleaned out all the dirt dobbers hidden in the bottom of the doors and installed new exterior door handles. 
Installed new brake pads in the front calipers. Found one frozen caliper piston. Got new caliper. Took severely grooved rotor in to be turned, found out they're below minimum specs for width, ordered two new vented rotors.......should be here Monday.

Changed the fluids in the tranny and t-case then continued fabing an exhaust for the 73.

Pulled the carb off and sent to JimC for a test-tune/rebuild.
Pulled the intake manifold and 6-1 headers off to find/fix an exhaust leak. Leak ended up being b/w the collector and exhaust...so ordered the remflex gasket.
Dropped off the headers at HPC for Jet-Hot coating and dropped the intake manifold off at the media blaster.

thought i broke something when the t-case popped out of gear backing down a hill , it took me way to long to figure that one out but was pretty relieved when it moved again .
Troubleshot and eliminated a small combustion leak (re-torqued head bolts), installed 2 CV driveshafts from High Angle, installed a tach, replaced my wiper blades, tightened some loose shackle bolts/nuts, pulled out the Paki Top for installation this weekend....
Planning my road trip from Vegas to Rockport next week - looking for a place to stash the Cruiser till June.

Put a Detroit locker in a spare diff, to swap out before the season starts... could be late this year with all the recent snow in the high country.

Started half doors.
final decisions on front and rear bumpers
made final decisions on front and rear bumpers. 8274-50 was delivered Friday from WARN, but i was not home. I called for help to have it secured. It is riding around in the back of the Chief of Police's vehicle until we get together on Monday. Sold the majority of the remaining parts from the fj40-75/76 to "meat" in this state. he is coming down on Monday and picking everything up and then I can drive the "old man" into the garage for bumper work with the path cleared out. then comes the electrical.

Tore down the York compressor I picked up some months ago. Looks like the $40.00 pick & pull was worth it! Long stroke, good valves, bearing & crank in great shape. tapped & plugged the suction oil bypass tube.
Got a bit to cavalier and cracked the ceramic shaft seal. Ordered a replacement from Kilby. It's the least I could do for all the tech they post on their site!
