Maybe you can leave one of these on his fender. I’m sure he takes a lot of ’pride’ in his jeep.

Got lots of odds and ends done this weekend. Mounted the front bumper, installed all the hood stuff. Built a cross member for new shock mounts. And rolled it outside for some pictures in the sun.
Funny thing about the duck, my 11 year old son was with me and was absolutely disgusted and angry when he saw the duck. He immediately grabbed it, kept it with him ok the ride home then immediately threw it in the trash. Trying to raise em right ya know.

Looks like a simple solution to mounting new seats in an early tub with a tool box. My stock seats in my ‘67 really limit how long I can stay behind the wheel.
Love the color.
I removed the original seat sliders and welded flat plates on the original bars then mounted an aftermarket low profile slider to that. Lowered the seat some and got me 6” more legroom. Kept the tool box functional too but have to pull the seat fully out to open it.
I found a part in the 'Mud classifieds that I'd been wanting for a long time, a Ruff-Stuff rear diff cover for a LandCruiser housing. They don't make them anymore, even when I ask them nicely. It took all day to get the old studs out of the housing, some really did not want to move, but I got it on. Fit is surprisingly good. Gave it some paint and it looks pretty good from 10 feet.
Busy. Decided to focus on a task I’ve been dreading because nothing fun about heat shields but they came out good. Going to be sore from patting myself on the back for fabbing the brackets and captive nuts in the new tub to line up with the heat shields.
Got the radiator installed.

First alignment since the rebuild, ended up adjusting toe in from 1/2" (shown) down to 3/16" .
Also noticed some important fasteners had not been tightened down at all so happy I only drove it a couple miles...looking forward to seeing how it handles now.

First time I've ever had to trailer a vehicle to a shop because it wasn't drivable, I failed in the repair attempt. I couldn't even drive it on to the trailer.
I'm not surprised to find out it was the carburetor needing rebuild. The power valve in the Holley 2 barrel went out.

Yellow chromate parts look amazing!
I never could get my holley to work right on my fj55. I gave up and went back to the weber 38 and I am happy. one of these days ill put a city racer one back on it.
Was there anything obviously wrong with your original one? Or was this just one of the last parts to check? We replaced my entire fuel system and while it reduced the fuel smell, it's still there, and I'm at a loss to find the culprit...
Picked it up this weekend. Bought it from the widow of the man that imported it from Australia. She showed us a whole photo album of him buying the truck, picking it up stateside and doing a frame off restoration. He called it the Fox and we’ll do the same.
I have a stack of receipts and emails from the previous owner Bill and I’m told he came to Mud for questions. If anyone recognizes the truck and knows if there’s a build thread I’d love a link to it. Going off of his checklist to see what it needs before I can drive it.
It’s got the 2H, a 5 speed behind it and a dump bed. It’s an hj47, so if there’s a better thread/section in the forum please let me know.
