Completed installation of the engine bay components. . . except for the horns. Those are still on the "need" list.

Picked up a jack for the 40. Need to mount it somewhere.

"Borrowed" this mounting idea from another MUD member. Traced the lower part of the hinge and the welding shop added a 1/2" bolt. Fits well and holds the jack securely by the right door. The nut has since been replaced by a locking knob from HiLift.

Funny this was mentioned i was just gonna start a thread on where to mount mine!!
Someone recently mounted using the 2 holes on the bumperettes. I'm thinking there or using the aftermarket brackets off the front of my tube bumper.

Like most of my posts....not very tech 
Love you dog's attitude!!
Rick, nothing fancy man. Used some old gas and scrubbed the piss out of it. I used some grease and wax remover to get the residue off with, then painted it with Duplicolor perfect match ford silver frost I think. O Reilly's has it.
I chased an electrical gremlin that was preventing the battery from charging and squashed it by renewing all the connections for the alternator and replacing the voltage regulator. Also found the belt was shredding a bit - so replaced. Then I went on a long ride.
Currently trying to sort my floorpans out, getting there just lots of fab work to get things looking right.
Getting sick of the rust, but hope to not have to problem again for another 40 years.

Forest fire derailed plans to paint exterior today. My brother-in-law is a fire fighter and he was called to fight the Warm Springs fire last night. So today I decided to work getting the interior ready to paint. Removed seat brackets and gas tank. Wire wheeled rust under gas tank, it was not too bad. Also, treated area with Ospho to prevent rust coming back. Sanded everything and primed. Need to final sand and seal. Then both interior and exterior will be ready for paint. Also received new sun visors for the 40 today from Cityracer.
Installed a fusible link, since the kwik wire harness I'm trying to sort through didn't have one. Also hooked my light switch up as Toyota intended - high beams and working dimmer switch, now that's luxury!
Next up, fun with the hazard switch. Thinking of going back to the Toyota flasher, rather than trying to jerry-rig rig the kwik wire flasher.
