Tried to wash the rust away, it didn't work.

"Finished completing my half doors, finished wiring my overhead control panel and installed new bushings on my rear shackles of my 40 after my trip to the rubicon. Getting ready for one more rubicon trip this month. Oh and washed the 60 for a photo opportunity.

wowssa, nice find!

Thanks, was not a bad hall. Rang up the yard and they said they had a 60 series winch and possibly a 70 series one. After going through they had 2x 60 series which we bough and 5 70 series winches......boxes and shafts were harder to find. On the agenda next week is stripping and painting them both
 
Finished cutting and patching the passenger rocker rust. Still need to grind down the welds on the second patch.

Picked up a freshly rebuilt Cummins 4BT (original 2F was pulled by p.o. & long gone when I bought the 40) that already has the NV4500 adapter and flywheel. Now I'm on the hunt for a NV4500...

Update: I used to be able to rely upon my overlarge nose... No more... turns out the leak was oil, not coolant... It was leaking around the front crankshaft seal. My rebuilder (his problem) hired my engine puller to fix it. So, they removed all the front stuff, so they could get in there and replace the seal. The engine puller called me around noon at said he could have it ready to pickup before closing time, but preferred to make sure it is completely fixed. I told him to call me when it is ready... He said 'early next week'.

So, the plans I had for getting 44 ready to go... Have been sidetracked by the absence of 44 this weekend...

But, I have to look at the bright side... My hip/leg/ankle are killing me again... Last Sunday, I pitched my new tent in the garage and then sat on the floor and worked around the tent, sealing the 'bathtub' seam. Monday, I found I could barely walk... My Sports Med doctor, has realigned my crooked frame, yet again, and I'm back on the drugs... And have doubled my stretching time in the hot tub...

It's supposed to cool down a bit late next week, so I'm hoping to make a trip by then... I can't take both Gunner and Chester... Can't take a chance with Chester this time... He's great on the leash, but is easily, "squirrel!".

So, I'll take Chester target shooting, he loves it... And will take Gunner camping on the next trip.
 
Fixing the rear diff. New brake lines, and lock hubs. Need to have this 40as reliable as possible. Will be towing a small trailer to build a small dwelling cabin for my uncle.
The 80 is still waiting for the parts. The 40 in the background will be getting some work also. Cant belive all the land cruisers are in the shop.....
Will be riding my other japanese pride....
