Thanks @Pura Vida , I drive my 60 a bunch more than my 40…and the 40 sits outside under a Maple Tree.
Got an unexpected lead on good wood area and just fired her up & took off w/o cleaning her up.

I had a similar event while installing my OEM power steering. Somehow I hit the ignition switch and the white cover kind of half popped off. While attempting to see if I could put it back together, I saw a little steel ball go flying out in the corner of my eye. I looked around for it but of course it was gone. A little later I noticed this:
It was caught in the rolled up hem of my shirt sleeve.
Had one of those days...
Been there.
Once you get that broken bolt out. Replace with carb studs and nuts & never have to deal with it again.

3 decades in the same FJ40
Decided it was take your kid fishing day. This one didn't mind skipping school at all. 
Well, that is just genius. I ordered everything new and will buy those instead of the top bolts. Why did you buy four?
The previous owner never used or maintained the factory a/c. Now that it resides in Southern Georgia the a/c will be a high priority. 
It also had a fairly worn, oddball spare tire. That had to go.
I bought four to use on the carb but the broken bolt in the lower thermostat housing happened. That reminds me, I need to order two more bolts for when I next remove the carb.
I finally got around to installing my cowl vent drain tubes from city racer and fixing a broken switch for my front locker. Now if I can get my oil pressure Guage working I can remove the mechanical one installed where my radio goes. I may just remove the mechanical one anyway. Who needs an oil pressure Guage on a 40. Really all you need is a gas gauge.

I need to go thin some forest soon as well, although I won't be taking my 40 to do that, the ol' diesel dually gets the workout.

Threw down some more liner. put about 1.5 quarts on it
The PO had it done sometime prior to 2010. He lost steam on her right after paint and shoved her in a shipping container never to see the light of day... I had a local body shop paint the roof and I'm engaging them to fix some issues on the rest of her.
Woodstove 24 / 7?

Yeah, all winter. I try my hardest to not run the furnace.
I might run it once or twice a year to knock the chill off in the morning, after that it gets turned off.
Wood is basically free.
