MetalTech Jackson cage and new OEM weatherstripping for the front doors and rear hatch, and new window felts, etc on the way!
Since I just got it a couple weeks back, I'm still trying to figure out what I have. But this week I removed an overhead console that I may modify and put back. Re-attached the seat belt so it will pass inspection (not sure why it was unattached). Worked on rust removal in the bed a bit.
Mostly I'm just trying to figure out what is stock and what is not so I can make some decisions about how to go forward. Suspension, wheels and tires are the first order of business.

Took out the wiper motor to be given the once over....only to have this happen as I was getting off Big Blue (76 FJ40)
2-3 weeks off the ankle, but ain't nobody going to stop me from driving Big Blue by tomorrow! Hahaha

Well, it's not really mine, but I saw this old 40 sitting in the driveway, it hadn't run for years...maybe decades. So I gave it some gas and some electricity and started it up. Fortunately, someone was there with a camera...see link in post #10.

Was so sick of looking at a red interior in a mustard truck.
Yep....ketchup and mustard.
Tore most everything out and rattle caned the interior grey. During the process I found a set of APC seats on sliders on CL for $200. Snatched those up and now the interior looks a bit more respectful.
Just waiting for my stereo from Amazon to arrive!

Installed my new to me dash pad, sorry for the crappy phone pic.
It had been sitting in a box in the garage, I finally got tired of moving the box around the garage.

Finally got my new ign wires, cap, and rotor in so I will be installing them after work.
Swapped / added wheel spacers. Ordered up another set of billet spacers from All-Pro Off Road, swapped the 1.5" spacers to the rear and added the 1" spacers on the front. Like the look a lot better, only took it for a quick spin around the block, no real testing yet. Now I need to align the front end...
Got the inside of the doors carpeted today. Kept a little touch of the old doors too... although I don't really like the orange, I'm going to paint them grey again I think. Still have a little triming to do around the edges too.
that should make a noticeable improvement in ride quality
- let's see for how long 
Had a BIG week over easter.
New radiator is in. Works like a champ. Temps are great.
Front hitch receiver for the winch.
Playing around with the spring packs. Trying to soften the ride, lower it and get more flex. Ended up removing all of these lol. This must have carted concrete in another life...
New ride height.
Flexy flexy...
Testing out the new spring packs and making sure everything clears. Plus measuring up for new rear shocks and bumpstops.
Front shocks limited my travel in both directions, which was a pain. So ill see about ordering some really long travel ones in.
