Started a light tear-down on the SM465 I'll be installing. Also cleaned-up and installed the FWD actuator I'm using to replace the vacuum actuator.

Spent some more time staring at her in the driveway. Sure is beautiful with the rear axle back on......

Try to finish up the high steer on my 40. The plan was to just take the steering arms off and put the new ones on. One side came off and had no problem with the knuckle bearing. The other side was a different story. When I went to take it off it came off easy only to find out part of the race was stuck to it. Thought I might be able to transfer the race and put it back on so I could wheel it the next day.

No dice as I managed to destroy it trying to get the arm on.

I've decided I'm just going to tear the whole thing down and rebuild it they way it should have been done. Though I just did this a year ago.

have the heater apart in the basement now waiting for the paint to dry so i can rebuild it. Man I didnt realize a heater core could get so stopped up!!

Alan,
99" - as near as I can tell with the fat tires on it. That's probably +/- 1".

I had the OME's in the back flipped around the long way initially, which gave me 103" +/- 1", but I think the rear tires would have hit the shiny new rear bumper under full stuff. I might still flip 'em around once the 1" body lift is on (need to make clearance for the new drive-train), I won't know thought until I start getting everything put back together.

Tks,
-seth

Hi All:

Seth, so what wheelbase does your rig have?

With the front axle move/longer springs I did this winter the wheelbase of my FJ40 is a true 100 inches.

Regards,

Alan
