a non stop several month daily routine of packing boxes of parts for a living now

( no pun intended ) to proceed with my Concept Vision illuminated 40 series

ash tray Update / Mod ............

long time Teq dream .........

Thank you Dagha boy. It was a pleasure to meet you. It is truly amazing to me how many people have child hood story’s of land cruiser. All of them were testaments to how strong they are and how they survived some sort of a accident.

Finally...finished the new bushings from CityRacer for my spare tire carrier. WOW, that was NOT easy! I think I've pulled a motor in less time.

Worked on replacing the passenger side quarter panel.

Afternoon - It was a little cloudy today which made for a great indoor project of removing and replacing the old bumper, gussets and hardware.

Of course, had to have a beer!

New shoes. So I went from a 10" rim, 12.5 x 33" tire to a 5.5" rim, 9.5 x 34" tire. Gonna take some getting used to.

Added a 10hz GPS to TunerStudio to track mileage as well as to get performance data when track season starts.
Thru put is only 2-3hz so gotta figure where the bottleneck is. But for MPG's it's more than fast enough.
I've managed to eek out a bit more mileage using the GPS to help inform the tune.
17.2 MPG

18.8MPG. SOOO close to getting 20MPG in the Old Gurl. I doubt I can hit 20 but it's been fun trying.

Took my project out for a walk and it stopped to pee on my tree.

Finally finished my beta version of a 3D printed gauge holder.
The goal is to use modern day gauges in a OEM cluster.
This contraption holds the gauge in its proper location and depth. The rear plate it attaches to is also pushed out with a 3D printed gasket.

Going to test this weekend.

Printed the decal.

Again this is a beta version for functional testing...

I may end up going with a recess in the back panel that will hold 2 6mm jam nuts instead of the two threaded rods.
