I hope none of that Mopar stuff rubbed off. Dangerously close to Jeep you know!

 

[Redgrrr]

Hopefully no Mopar taint Mark, haha.

My freind who's gracious enuf to let me use his auto body shop for my project works on all makes and models.

Replaced the +30-year old plastic & rubber parts on my H55F shifter. Admittedly, the old pieces still looking pretty good!

Definitely a gorgeous truck!!

That looks like a Topspin precleaner...

If it is,
Do you happen to recall the model number? ...
Do you run the precleaner on the highway as well as off road?
Do you ever feel the engine is struggling to get enough air?

Thanks!

Got it running and brought it out for a wash and test drive. A bad fitting on the transmission cooler lines quickly ended the test drive. We went about 60 feet. Most its moved in probably 6 years. Things are coming together nice though.

X2, looks great! What color are you going with?

Is that your shop? Or over seas?
I'm hoping to get mine ready for paint within the next 12 months. We need to get some cruiser people active down here on the coast. Destin had a group of people that would meet alittle back in the spring. I never got over there but usually there is a classic 4wheel drive ride once a year over there where lots of 40s and rovers come out

After years of searching I found my Unicorn last week, and brought it home this week!

It's my resto guys shop, I have been dropping in and helping out a bit.

Im doing the Destin thing this year, I heard that it's a blast.. We need to get a panhandle cruiser club going or something. When you get close to paint I can point you in the right direction.

Welcome, what a great looking rig!

 

[Camulus]

Welcome, what a great looking rig!

Thank you, I'm looking forward to learning and sharing information.
Got it into the garage today, was worried it might be to tall and didn't know how to tell my wife we were going to have to sell the house.

@ Jim Land "get to the cabin with my lady in the bj42"

Beautiful FJ-40, Beautiful Lady and Beautiful Cabin...whats not to like?

 

[Michael B]

@desert land I'm going with Sky Blue. The hinges already have the color on them in the pictures.

Your rig is looking good also.

I drove it for the first time. The three on the tree made things quite interesting. With the dented rim and bad wheel it couldn't go over 30 but it finally made it home to my driveway.
New lights all around comes next.

 

[mmw68]

Finally received my new plates.

 

[desert land]

Ahh, I see. That's my favorite color cruiser. Can't wait to see it done.
