Will have a review as soon as it’s on the road- note the shackle angle with just the weight of the frame(I’m happy so far, also, nothing is torqued).That’s looking good. Taking note of the Terrain Tamer’s.

Rog- lift on the springs? Shackles? What rim/tire package is are you planning?
2” package lift- unsure where they get it but appears to be a little of both. 33x10.5x15 on OE steelies.
I enlisted some help to get the freshly painted parts of my bib back together, and installed back on the truck.
532 is slowly displacing the dreary grey primer.

After a 4yr? 5yr hiatus…finally moved her into the new shop. Super excited to finally get to wrench again and have some space. Just need to get all my tools moved from the garage to the shop. Wife is happy she’s getting a garage again after 14 years.
Beautiful garage.
Gotta love it. Yesterday I ordered, and today I picked up, these beauties that I stacked in my parts shed:
Now I am one step closer to joining the 3rd Brake Light Mod Squad.
Highly technologicafied MUD research has indicated that for '78 the insides should be black and the outsides grey, with many concluding that Rustoleum Dark Machine Grey is best suited, but everyone feel free to pitch in what you think is right. Other than that, I've just been driving it, and went to a local car show last Saturday. Ya'll be well!

Like 2021, curbside pickup
5spd install 99% complete. I grafted in a FJ60 tunnel piece on to my existing transmission tunnel, I reinforced my parking brake as well as the tunnel is not as strong as it previously was. Overall from the highway it looks good. Last pic is it rolling out under its own power. I forgot to connect the rear harness, after I rolled back in I reconnected the lights. I still need to bend the transfer case lever, install an inner boot and a 5spd shift knob. Parts on order and will be installed when they arrive. Lots of work and took longer than I wanted, cant wait till I can drive it to see the difference.
Well done. What is the e brake handle from?
It’s from an 80 series. Here are pics from the original creation when I installed an axle from an 81
Awesome. I might steal this when I do my 62 series axles this winter
Cruiser Matt and others have installed it to the left of the drivers seat. The tunnel works but does have some flex. I added some plating to stiffen it up.

I went Dark Machine Gray, only painted the face.
Lots of prep work going on in the backyard. We have a Cruiser/wheeling/fly fishing trip coming up in a few days. 4 - FJ40's. and a FJ60. Hearing up to the Sierra's. Should be a Fantastic trip. Did a little shake down run after finishing up a few things
Popped the top off. First time since hard top refresh 3 years ago.

looks like a completely different truck.
I said the same thing with previous girls I’ve been with.
Wish I had the land and money to do the same. My wife has been complaining about our garage smelling like a shop. I told her if it’s not in the garage it’s going in a storage unit. Looks good!
Hard work is done. You will not regret it. One day I want to see it too.
