Finished the rear ended of the truck for sale.

Been putting in a bunch of work lately to change out new seals all the way around. Transmission and transfer case will be back soon so I'm hoping to have things buttoned up in the engine compartment before they come back. These will all be posted on my thread update as well, but here's the most recent stuff.

Some might question my color choices but I happen to like them so that's all that really matters right

I did a quality mirror stabilization project prior to a weekend of driving. As you can see the mirror housing is cracked and the mirror flops around. Recently I popped the mirrors free from the ball and squirted some 3M5200 adhesive into the socket thinking that would lock things in place and it was a failure. Sooooooooooo, out came the duct tape and phase 3 of the mirror stabilization fix, it held for about 300 miles at speed to 62 mph.
Or should I have posted this in the Wall of Shame thread ? Need new mirrors ! Ed

Finally finished welding the skid plate. Painted one side and will do the other in a couple days once this side dries.

My drain holes in the corners are 1/2 inch - think that is big enough not to get clogged with dirt and junk?

Nice day

Looks like my fuel pump sprang a leak.

I pulled it and ordered a new one.

Should have the new one within a week.

I had the thrill and distinct pleasure of preforming my 1st ever Light Shades modification Om a 1/79 FJ55LG-KA , i was challenginbg at first , but i melted right into

the theme as i usually can on any new and exiting MOD or Project ...

the Speed O has 2 194 bulbs and the cluster only 1 , but the ODD underwater glow on the Speedo is still a mystrery ?


i also restored all the Gauge needles in HOT ROD Oarnge

I also Added cool white tag bulbs , red tone led side markers and top it off with front park turn amber led 1157A as well and turns and high beams inside

Soon to be maybe the first % led Fj55 maybe ?

Got to learn a bit more from Georg. Still need to button up the axles, but I’m close.

Drove over to @c2dfj45 garage to show him my 40 and got the full tour. His “compound” is literally two giant toy boxes full of ridiculously fun stuff. No pics because he’s got some super secret projects going on, along with some clients’ cars that are literal space ships. It’s incredible and the work going on there is amazing.

I did leave a little puddle of tcase oil on the pristine parking lot. Felt bad about that. It felt just like when my dog peed on my buddy’s living room floor back in grad school.

Hung my spare on the carrier via a 2” spacer. I think it really completes the ass end.

Hung the spare so I immediately got itchy and started the process of making my FST doors pretty again. Removed the Al panels a PO installed (drilled out and/or cold chiseled the rivets) and did some cutting with the Dremel. It’s going to require a little finesse but I’ve got a good paint guy who I’m sure can blast and paint the finished product once I weld it back together with some fresh 1/2” sqr tubing.

Hahahaha....we immediately sprayed the oil with some of our driveway cleaner. Old cruisers are like old dogs...sometimes they have accidents. No worries.

Enjoyed having you over.....stop in anytime. There's always something new and cool.

thanks dude. It’s “quirky” but a heck of a good time, even when it’s broken! Love your channel. Keep up the great work.
