[hooter]

New shoes on freshly powder coated wheels.

33x10.5x15 bfg mk2

hOOter

 

[wngrog]

Hauled a deer out

 

[Elfman]

Finished up the trans tunnel after fitting the twin stick for NV4500/stock t-case. New marker/bib lights, and gutted the tail light wiring after decades of bypasses and bad hack jobs (done by me) causing disco brake and tail lights.

 

[ColoradoFJ40]

Drove it to Costco and loaded up the back.

You shoot it or run over it? Left hind quarter looks like road rash

Thinkin that too.

 

[wngrog]

I gutted it and that’s the blood. This happy kid shot it.

F’ing Mud conspiracy theorists.....

 

[bikersmurf]

finally was able to get over to the exhaust shop. Boy what a difference! Also was able to take her for a nice drive around town. She ran like a champ. A little wandering but still haven’t done a professional alignment.

I've had better alignment results with the push pin alignment technique than professional alignments.

 

[wngrog]

I’ll tell you something about alignment on a 40.

Don’t sweat it too much unless you are putting big miles on it.

My toe has been OUT for 5000 miles on Patina and it drives better on the road than any 40 I’ve ever owned.

I put a pinion seal in this am I got from @beno

[AlaskanWheeler]

@Elfman, where did you source those headlight rock guards, are they still available?

Thanks

When and if I go, usually to take someone so they can get a chance at one. Only restriction I put on them (besides the law) is save me a little one. I don't eat horns.

It was a wet doe so she was fair game.

Looks like I need a 45 Pickup if I want to haul a buck in a relic though

Deer like Patina though

 

[todt]

Used it to help sight in my pea shooter.

 

[wngrog]

I cut a piece of plywood out for a floor for my Con-Ferr rack and my friends ridiculed me.

The metal one I did first rattled.

Am I crazy? Seems like most Con-Ferr racks in the early days had wood floors

Of course it takes 2 minutes to install so I can just put it up there if I need it if it’s totally lame.

Now, you have a balcony, a deer stand, or a potential dance floor!!

Looks great!!

Only thing I would have done differently, is use pressure treated plywood... Lasts a lot longer in wet weather.

But, it doesn't matter, if you aren't going to leave it on there all the time.

 

[wngrog]

This Cruiser only sees the elements if it’s being used.

And the plywood was in a pile I had.

 

[skidplate]

I ran for years with a plywood floor on mine. I used a 2" hole saw and sawed holes every several inches to let the air pass through when the rack was unloaded so it would't become a wing. I had some latex exterior paint mixed up to match my truck and painted the wood.

 

[oestlarsen]

For some reason, I finally felt "legit" tackling this particular job...Marlins, new oem cylinders and gaskets/seals going in..
Messy so far

Howzit Vossie

I was getting worried about you. Thought the Crocodile had got you in the chaos.

That cluster looks bad. I think there is a fairly decent one lying in a shed I will be digging in week after next, so if you don't come right there I may have one for you.

all good here boet.

ja, that gauge cluster is pretty wrecked. im still poking around for a second hand replacement.

@Dagha Boy paging @Vossie
