Looks like I have a few more days of paint weather - trying to get as much done as possible. Roll bar was the last part of the tub to be painted. Now, get it mounted and free up some floor space

That’s a very nice rollcage Is that your design or a kit? Did you do the welding. Very nice job. I’m debating using a full cage as opposed to the factory roll bar in my 79 40.
The number of stories that I've heard here, "it was in this old guys barn for the last 20 years, added some clean fuel, a battery and drove it home!" Meanwhile, my resto mod 40s been in my garage the last 4 years, carefully replacing everything and I still can't drive it...go figure.

I'm close to driving my landcruiser, just working on tuning the sniper. Learned a lot more through several hours of YouTube videos on AFR and coolant enrichment. Hopefully I can start filling in my learn table tomorrow.
 
Went for one part and took all the gentleman had.

Is that a OM606 in a 80 series?
Yup! Mated to a nv4500 and a twin stick Dana 300. It runs and drives but now I'm working on the finer details such as the intercooler, exhaust, and wiring. Once winter break starts I'll be starting a build thread. I've taken a few hundred photos during the 5 months I've been working on it.

VERY slow progress so far (one shim,shackle, eyebolts and shock installed)……. in my defense though, I’m cleaning things up some as I go and trying NOT to see all the other things that could be addressed! :rolleyes:
