I saw it from someone else on MUD. It is from Specter Off-road. They sell Wheelskins there are a couple sizes. Didn’t take as long as the one I put on my old Tacoma.

I have backpacker into Piedra creek near Pagosa Springs in Colorado and had good luck in a little creek like that. Lots of good fishing in the Gila Wilderness creeks too.
Nice wheel cover, where did you find that? Thanks
Is that a leather wheel cover? Where might I ask did you find that beauty?
On my back doing this, I notice dribbles on the frame that led to........
I really wanted to just suck it up and replace the questionable booster and switch to an 80 series MC after discussion with wiser members but have opted to go financially conservative for now....... Can’t beat $29.75 for a MC rebuild kit!
Thanks @cruiseroutfit for quick answers to my questions

I like Your plan Imyourhuckleberry, I always hope the lesser expensive plan works. Can’t wait to see the result.
As for me. I took mine on the interstate for the first time. The Iron Yak can handle 50-55 but 60 was pushing it.

It sounds like two spots that would be good to visit.
I told myself that I must go to the upper Rio Chama area soon, not too far from The Piedra River, but a bit less driving from my residence. It seems like a largely undiscovered Yosemite or Yellowstone.

I decided to repaint my instrument cluster bezel, glove box door, etc from Pewter (which I only did three weeks ago) to Toyota off white. It's only paint, right?
Thanks for that. What year is your Sky Blue 40, love that color!Yep it is leather. Here is the link to where it is on SOR's site:

It is a 78, I am in the process of stripping off the green to the original Sky Blue... been quite the process but I'm pretty happy with how it will look. I love the color too, much better than the dumb J$%p green someone painted it. I'm a big fan of your freeborn red one as well, if I could pick another color it would be that.
That’s funny Sky Blue in the ‘78 looks outstanding. Thanks for the kind words, mine is a ‘78 as well.
No photos, but had a small leak at the top of the RAD at the factory solder. Watched a few vids and gave it a go... worked great and leak is gone. First attempt at soldering on a RAD. Fresh coat of paint and same on the leaf springs. Looks good as new...

My son and I took Goose out for a drive down a narrow mountain bike trail. Had to drop into the slot after we could not center due to the width. Dropping in was a little fun - at one point I thought she was going to roll.
Once in the slot we headed down. It became deeper and wider, my son stopped taking pictures so he could act as a counter weight hanging from the rear bumper!
Pictures don't really give the full effect. All in all a great trip and had a blast.

Matt,
I'm happy to have unknowingly helped you validate your plaque. I would love to have a new one, as mine has been cleaned and cleared but there are still some scuff marks and dings in it. Looks like I also need to hit up your store for other bits and pieces I may need. I'm so fortunate to have found this 45LV in such original condition. It's making it more and more obvious that I need to be as true as possible to the originality. except, of course for the trim paint, but that's easily "corrected" if necessary.
Thanks again!
Chuck
i really like your build and attn. to period correct details , that even age and time are
starting to forget ............
it would be a privilege to have my version of period correct details affixed with Aircraft Grade 100% Aluminum pop rivets to your Build , as you see fit ...........
pm me ,
it will be in today's mail
kindly matt
