Pulled the front seats so I could remove the transmission hump so I could more easily remove the trans/TC so I could replace the rear main engine seal. Also need to need to replace the seal on the rear output shaft of the TC. Might as well rebuild the parking brake, replace some leaking transmission gaskets, install a trans/TC oil return line, as well as strip and paint the front pan with chassis saver. But wait, that gas tank is in the way! Good thing I FILLED IT UP before parking for the winter. Oh, and since the seats are out I'll strip, prime and paint all the seat hardware as well. And to think, I was wondering what I would do while I waited for back ordered front rotors to complete the front knuckle and steering linkage rebuild I did two or three weeks ago. Please kill me...
BTW, I can't thank everyone on Mud enough for all the valuable (as well as inspiring and entertaining) information you provide to a first time Land Cruiser owner like myself!
@76 FJ40. That soon. I was hoping we would sort of parallel which would have been fun. I will probably only get to it in November or there abouts. Seems I'll be learning from your mistakes.

72 and sunny here today! The sunshine went to my head and I couldn't resist. Off goes the top. Landpimps pics above got me motivated.
Top comes off... seat goes into the bed - sweet!!

Where did you get the bolts Mike?
Thanks, no doubt about the seriousness of the 40.chubot-nice rig!!!!! The 40 just looks SO much more serious than the Bronco, huh?
