What the hell is goin on in Jimmy's Barn (9 Viewers)

[LandyCruiser]

Jimmy’s barn has been furloughed for a little while, and I owe him a huge debt of gratitude. For those who don’t know what Jimmy does professionally, he helps families like mine. I’ll spare the personal details but let it be known to those who don’t already know, what a kind, caring, stand up guy Jimmy is. Thanks brother we love you!

I can give extra too

Ha. I have probably close to 25 gallons of used oil here. That’s just in the barn. Have a 50 gallon barrel that’s full outside of the barn. When it cools down I’ll fire up the smudge pot and eliminate as much as I can

There’s ma man. I love that guy as well as his wife of 52 years. Truly good people you have in your family. And so glad we can make all of your lives a little bit easier during these challenging times

Worked my day job first half of the day and jumped in the barn after a quick nap during the Michigan/USC game. Finished the trailer. Still had the drivers side spring bushings to replace as well as re-packing the wheel bearings. Some quiet barn time for the first time in a few weeks and it was nice. No pics as I never thought to take any. Manana my brother is coming up from SA so we can do brake shoes on his 200.

I spoke with them about this and they said it was a matter of bending the tabs or whatever on the backside to better match the profile.

Every time I’ve driven a distance in my 62 I wish I had these then when I get to my destination, I go to buy them and get turned off by the shipping.
Rinse and repeat…

So, $150 for a pair. How much do they want for shipping?

I think it was close to $75 if I remember correctly.
Granted, they are coming from Australia, but I’m pretty allergic to overpriced shipping and I’m poor.

I want to see a set in person or the backside of a set in a picture. It definitely seems like a product that fills a need.

I wish Brent, I could use a troopy...

I didn't make any mods to the bracket and it fits fine in my FJ62.

Got this beyotch out.

Have the wrong T case rebuild kit on hand.
Anyone in central Texas have a 38mm T Case rebuild kit on the shelf we can replace?

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Lots of nuts and bolts in Jimmy’s noggin! He is a gearhead!

But…but…I thought this was how you are supposed to move around a tranny/t-case.

Looks better than my method of having it ride around in the back of my truck, tipping over and spilling all over the bed, then slowly coating central Texas in precious ATF.

I just put these in mine last weekend and they're amazing. Needed very little in the way of mods to fit. Cost $203 for both sides shipped to me from Aus, arrived in a week. worth every penny.
