FJ40 I call Shipwreck

[SuperBuickGuy]

what is "some I'll probably never use on my '40"

answer



the 2" die, that is... but cool anyway

what I will use, though, battery tender



in that vein, did a bit of rearranging, didn't need double batteries anymore



I can use them in the Jeep for the new setup, so I went with a single (which I may move to the front and add an accessory tank in the back to help with its abysmal range)



in the jeep



jeep is also useful for teaching dog to jump into a car because it's much shorter

to wash the terrible taste of working on my wife's Jeep out of my mouth.... I worked on this a bit too

now it fits, fully assembled

[SuperBuickGuy]

Time to fix an issue. If you turn the flow off to the heater, the truck will overheat. The fix is a bypass that opens when the heater valve is closed

the lines

installed.... probably should have got the 5/8" line but this worked with a bit of heat

[SuperBuickGuy]

and time to start training Luigi to stay in the vehicle until it comes to a complete stop

[SuperBuickGuy]

I was so afraid I'd have to get rid of Luigi if he didn't match my '40.... thankfully, it's a perfect match

[SuperBuickGuy]

Late but top off

[SuperBuickGuy]

other then leaky, there's nothing wrong with it

so glue it and put it back together.


my plan is still the NV4500, but I have several things that need to be done now and this is drivable and useable. I do need to figure out where I put (for safety) the tuning computer... but outside of that.... time to use it again.

[SuperBuickGuy]

back to this
I have no idea what's leaking..... dried it off, hopefully it'll start dripping again tonight


not from the usual seals


I wonder if this was my squeak...



hopefully I can get this apart enough to order parts and get this done... to recap, I'm putting an NV4500 in

if you had as great of legs as we do, you'd hang it out there too.

Hey Aaron, pardon me for asking a stupid question but I need some help with Jeep etiquette.

Not sure if this in gene pool, socioeconomic, geographical or ????? related

Why does it seem to be a requirement for the driver to hang his left leg and foot outside the body while driving down the street?

half my order is here....


now to get the clutch kit and just a moment of time. That said, I may outsource the heavy lifting (literally)... we will see

Love the "Iron Worker's Spud Wrench"

[SuperBuickGuy]

link wrenches have arrived


for those who don't know, the action of flexing tightens some of the jam nuts on the control arms... getting them back apart can be a challenge....

[SuperBuickGuy]

For posterity

20 1/2" which is not what's published elsewhere

this is the dimension that worried me


anyway, no decision on the direction... I have Optima to do
