Went out for one last drive before all the snow and salt. Will not come out of garage until spring.
Will do when I get it running. The cruiser hasn’t been on the road since 1994. I’m going to try to start it in about 6 months.
I did art with the kids.
Before anyone asks - the tires are 33 x 10.5

Took my son son for some post apocalyptic zombie target practice. Ran into a guy driving this Ferrari.
All he wanted to do is talk about my 40.

Got the kick out leg for the jump seats sorted out. Just need to clean them up and monsterliner them once it warms up. Waiting on new foam anyways.
This walk through was very helpful with the overall breakdown of the seats. In particular remedying the stuck pivot hinge portion.

Also finally got the shippers insurance to pay up on the damage to my other lifted 40. Christmas came early for the mud truck.

FJ40 Rear jump seat covers install 101
Iam finally getting around to rebuilding my FJ40 jump seats. Recovering the jump seats is very straightforward, but after searching ih8mud, I still had questions. So I decided to write up my observations, here are a few tips from my upholstery supplier, and the parts and tools I used. Let's...

I don't think I could talk my soon-to-be 40 year old son into sharing some art time with me.

Hey, I was in your neighborhood today.
There was a bunch of snow, but some pools of liquid water as well. Must be hot springs?

Working in the dark. I installed a Buyers Products Company pintle hitch. It is a 10-Ton, PH10 model. I paid less than 40 for it from Amazon, as a, "used" model, delivered for free, IIRC.
The most awesome part about it is that it exactly fit the factory holes in the bumper (FJ40 '75 USA hardtop).
This was what I had before. It has its own charm.
I love getting driveway projects during the cold months with short days, really rewarding.

This will be fun. The plan is to, ultimately, go for different look. The wheels behind the glass is my daily driver, btw.
I'm thinking about a Real Steel tailgate panel chopped in half, and fabbed into ambulance doors. '64 front hard doors, similar era hard top sides, custom ambulance rear doors, in a FST (ish) paint scheme on the exterior, patina and bare steel on the interior. Not much wrong with the current OEM '75 set-up, just want to play for play sake.

And, Option B.

My wife and I snowshoed out to that area from the highway a few years ago, the East Fork of the Jemez was running in its shallow banks all through there, with a lot of meanders. Some really intricate ice crystal patterns along the fringes, but not as intricate as @rkymtnflyfisher's moose. Last winter we snowshoed all the way across to the other side of the Valle Grande. In the summer we ride our mountain bikes in the same area.
The hot springs are more in @Tank5's neighborhood.
The image was taken at the first pull-over as you enter the caldera from the White Rock side. It was cold today, and that was a huge patch of melt, also a pool draining near the closer hillside.
They say that the San Antonio Creek starts as a spring. That isn't far from the Los Alamos side. I guess that it is just relatively warm, in more general geothermal sense, like it is everywhere.
Saw three mule deer near the lab, and a coyote crossing the road right in front of me between the National Preserve and Bandelier National Monument. "Coyote Calling Trail"

Got a custom tow hitch cover made for the back of the shiny 40. It should be here any day.

Best thread ever.
I got my engine dynoed today. Fun!
I like the fire out the exhaust.
