FJ40 I call Shipwreck

[SuperBuickGuy]

I've been here before

dammit....

then looking at the end - yeah, I need to replace it

tomorrow look for a hub




then to the oil pan

[SuperBuickGuy]

I have a bunch of things to do, but first is clean it up.


new hub is painted


I'm at least 6 weeks behind my normal date to get this off

From what you've shown us.... the list is well within your grasp...

The fix list:

- rear diff leak (parts coming)
- oil pressure issue - I'm convinced it's the bypass spring, so I'll add washers to it to increase the oil pressure
- time to take the CB out - the HAM radio I have also is capable of broadcasting on CB frequencies, so the redundancy is really unnecessary
- add the seat belt bar for the upper belts
- add more grab bars
- fix the gas cap
- re-engineer the rear storage
- finish the half doors
- install the high steer
- finish installing the tow bar

How much of that I get to? dunno. I'm also seriously considering taking the electronic distributor out and putting in vacuum advance HEI.

Of course, this list is also part of the master list that includes getting the 'burb ready for Memorial Day weekend then the Overland rally a month after it. As it is, I need to fix the oil pressure issue and diff leak but the rest is kind of optional.... did I also mention I really need to get the Corvette painted this summer? I think that's priority for it - wiring and suspension can wait for cold temps.
