Broke my clutch slave cylinder, ordered a new one with a Haynes manual.
Do yourself a favor and get an OEM chassis manual.
Got the 78 T/A back together so that I can continue trying to sell it to fund the FJ build, did a further inspection of the core motor I bought from a friend for $100 and it looks, barring any hidden suprises when I send it to get machined, that I have all the parts to build a 462 for "cheap" since the bottom end has been in storage for easily 10 years, then cut out the rusted sections of the floors (goodbye factory toolbox).
got rid of those pesky , troublesome ugly jeep tail lights for some fancy l.e.d's
Finally finished grinding all the bondo and paint out of the inside of the tub. Took about 20 hours and 4 knotted wire wheels.
Not a damned thing- unfortunately. This bathroom remodel has taken 4 months of my weekends. Totally crappy!
Packed her up and took a ride down to Darien Lake in New York, camped for the weekend and went to Cruefest! Motley Crue are definitely living up to their name, would "Old and Whiney" fit in there somewhere?? My lovely BJ was topless all weekend, and we didn't have a drop of rain 
Definitely got some racoon eyes from the drive tho 
now likes the no top/no doors travelling, as does the dog, so I can hold off spending money on the soft top and doors for now.
Made it home with no mech issues, very happy about that!
Need to reseal the hard top in prep for fall/winter, has anyone had experience or know of a thread about cleaning out the old silicone/sealer from the gutter? With all the rivets it doesn't look like a fun job, but I'm not a fan of going over top of something bad just to save some time...
Drive on!

i finally finished my saginaw conversion, picked up 8 stock leaf packs from a local guy for 75 bucks. Don't say anything about the stupid turn signals
they don't even work haha!
trying to figure out if i should get a double steering arm to help with my bump steer.
marlin did a front disc conversion on my fj40 years ago, pretty sure i have mini truck knuckles with mini truck steerings arms, but i don't know for sure. anyone help me identify? i don't know the angle doesn't seem that bad to me...i should just replace the two old as h#!! tre's.
Got back the majority of parts from the powdercoater. Looks great. Slower than expected but enjoying the process still.

Looks good, Jim. You're closing in on a full soft top. When are they gonna be ready for production?
