One step closer to disc up front!

Lookin' GOOD Nick!
Love those seats!

I picked up some sweet seats and spent the weekend fabricating and installing. They were leather and electric so I'll be riding in comfort.

After the seats got installed and wired I was able to install the parking brake and connect the rear driveline.

I spent forever bleeding brakes but still have no pedal, but I wasn't going to let that keep me from starting it and seeing if it will go forward and backward under it's own power. I was excited.... no exhaust system so it was a bit loud but it rolled out of the garage under it's own power... first time since I've owned it (14 months).

I started by replacing the heater valve on the fire wall and some how the whole dam heater is out and a waiting the foam kit from a fellow member. oh and even changed the spark plugs.

Got a new set of boots for the BJ40.

 

[75/76FJ40]

Those are 16" tires correct? What brand?

Yes mate, 7.50 R16 Dunlop Road Grippers. I've only had them for half a day but i'm liking them so far.

I have headers similar (not as pretty though), did you have any trouble with the spark plugs or where they already in. I could not get a socket in there (front and back ones cause of the header was in the way) and had to use a wrench. that don't seem normal. purdy motor

Finally got my headers on.

this carb is on its way to Mark for a proper rebuild.

Finally have one with no warping, proper float that has no leaks, and all the proper bits

Cleaned the s*** outta the inside with carb cleaner and let it dry out etc before send, should be easy to rebuild now i hope

[Eshu Elegua]

and have to pull out the water 1 Montero 2 doors.....then a 2010 Tundra that was stuck on the same spot..but this time the Tundra was draging a Dodge Raider with bad ignition problems....so the Warn 8274-50 do the right job..again.

Thanks mate. I already had the plugs in the heads but I have a set of go through sockets that should do the trick for getting them out. Like these.

Towed it back to Vegas after running the Rubicon, only suffered a broken Saginaw pump...

 

[Rigger]

Installed a new choke cable. OEM cable gone years ago. PO put in a generic one, looked like it was off of a lawnmower or something. I put a new OEM one in. It is not year-appropriate, but it looks nice and works perfectly.

Also replaced the rusty cowl vent screws with new stainless ones from CCOT.
