Have you tried the Jameson Cask Mates distilled in stout barrels? On the rocks, chasing with a beer, all good.

Yes sir I have!

Well finally got to work on the jump seats, after seeing what new/used jump seats cost me and my fab guys got to work, here are some before and after, mind you we added some supports because the original ones felt a little light......but man mine were in bad shape........some new pipe, some welding, some cleaning, some new panels and almost there..

Reviewing the latest data log at a bar. Much easier tuning the old girl with a beer in hand.

What plug-in module and software are you using there?

 

[Hilux safari]

Finished paint, putting new door seals and window rubbers, vibration control, floor carpet and roof lining.

 

[handala]

Was having some issues with overheating. Started with flushing the system.
drained the radiator of 10 year old coolant that came out looking like this!

Then crossed my fingers and pulled the engine drain and more lovely green fluid gushed out.

cracked open a beer and counted my blessings!!

 

[AutaviaFJ40]

Pulled a downed tree to the fire pile.

Painted windshield frame. Got it installed. Used the yellow zinc as I didn't have any stainless handy.

My '64 FST in River Blue is a bit darker, and a few weeks behind yours. I should start bringing loose parts home late this week, the tub is a ways out yet.

I like the idea of the hex bolts better myself. But I may go with original because of the countersink and a lot of anti-seize.. I stripped out several heads removing my windshield frame.

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Installed an add-a-leaf to the rear spring pack to beef it up a bit. Perfect so far!

 

[thecrazygreek]

Fenders, aprons up next...
