Spotted a nice looking 45 on a trailer being towed on 26 near Hillsboro towards Portland yesterday morning. Whose project?

I drove Sampson to the CRR with a few of my mud brothers. It was almost 1100 miles round trip. That got me the “Iron Butt” award.

I removed the hard top to make repairs to fiberglass and install a new Rain Gutter. I was anticipating a lot of rust on the top of the quarter panels . I was very happy to find a very minimal rust all surface rust. But my windshield turned out to be fairly rough I have a few issues to deal with there. The hinge pins are broken and it does not have the hooks to hold the windshield up. And it has some rust issues. I am hoping this is the worst of.the rust

Where did you source your new rain gutter? Or are you making yourself?

I bought it from CCOT about two years ago. It's in pieces I will have to weld it up. When I set me up a table yo work on it I will post pictures

Thanks, that CCOT is the only one Im aware of. I need one as well for my 40, so was hoping there was more then one option available out there.

Start doing some searches on Google and here on the Forum. I believe there are a few out there. If I come across some I will post them .

Seats and harnesses were installed. They hang from the bar-- kind of has a Baja 1000 look (not that I would know)-- can always change them out but will leave for now.

im in a ”5-6 week” lead time on my order. It’s killing me.
If you need one, anticipate they are not in stock and you will need to wait.

hOOter

Added an aussie loker to the 40, 60 is still waiting for me to address a coolant leak!

 

[Martyt]

I think (but am not sure) that top part of the harness can be removed so I can just use them as a lap belt btw.

Back to the HJ45.
Removed old tattered weatherstripping and adhesive. About 2 1/2 hours for both doors.

 

[sandcruiser90]

The difference between after-market weatherstripping on left and OEM on right. OEM is worth the huge cost. Fits like a glove. After market going back to SOR. No hassles and they called to confirm the correct fitting with vent window.

 

[sandcruiser90]

Trial fitting.

Holding cemented weatherstrip

New OEM weatherstripping. Fits like a glove.
About an hour per door. Did not remove doors. These oversized clips work great to trial fit and hold weatherstrip as you move along.

 

[sandcruiser90]

After attaching weatherstrip. Just close the doors till cured. Final result.

 

[Martyt]

Got one of my seat recline handles in from Man-a-Fre-- unubtanium but I found 1 at least-- will keep searching!!

 

[LuckyDog]

Been sidetracked with working on the house and some travel. First day back and I actually did something on the project. Torqued the ARP balancer bolt on the 5.3 and then promptly packaged of the balancer lock tool and send it back to its owner.

My buddy came over and we tested the circuits in my harness I've been rebuilding. Once that was done it got wrapped in non-adhesive tape from @Coolerman. Really happy with how it came out! Now it is time to get it back in my 40

 

[Redgrrr]

Have you considered a seat belt bar added to the roll cage behind the seats? What’s the cage material?
