Many of the "portraits" I'm seeing look like filters that can be applied directly from an iPhone, or with some of the digital pic programs, aren't they?

Replaced my spark plugs with some Denso W14EXR-U plugs, embarrassed I didn’t do it sooner after seeing what they looked like. Any cause for concern here or is this normal for old plugs?
Split the difference between the recommendations I saw and went with a gap of 0.035” (coil is aftermarket). Also adjusted the choke on the Weber, between those two things the 40 is running like a top again! Wasn’t bad before but had gotten a little slow to start and idle felt rough.
***Update** Just took the 40 for a quick spin around the neighborhood, holy *%#@! It’s like a completely different vehicle, feels like it’s got 50 more HP and so much smoother. I’m still embarrassed I haven’t done this before now but will never make that mistake again!

This took me about 15 minutes.. I actually don't even know if this is your rig for sure..
Finished one leaf spring refresh. Pulled it all off and sand blasted it. Then chassis saver and new u bolts, anti inversion shackle, and greaseable pins.
getting ready for the big day with some dry runs ............. 
Looks like you could use a new set of shocks as well.
Wow! It is the Dagha Boy indeed! Only way to tell is by the DN05RR (Dinosaur) license plate.
Man that looks nice. Thank you!

Installed new OEM wiper blades on my 1976 FJ40. Part number 85220-95402 for 1/75 - 1/79.
While these are 2x the cost of aftermarket, they are 4x’s better.

what is the length of the wiper blades? Wondering if they will fit my 74
It looks like it’s still in primer. Is that the final color?
No just sealer. It’s going to be cadet blue. Just nice to see it looking like 40 again
Mounted steering box & rolled front axle out for clean-up and rebuild.
I've recently switched from a Weber to the same carb you are running. I am not sure what the large inlet pipe is for, but I capped it off. I find that it fills with fuel and it is possibly causing some performance issues occasionally when the fuel sloshes around. I am not sure, but it is a hunch. What are you going to plug that up with or do you know what it is for?
