FJ40 I call Shipwreck

[silver_bullet]

your planning has definitely paid dividends!

Good to see you back on my track. Sucks you had to deal with the motor issues.

a bit more

[SuperBuickGuy]

Shifter handle

note the Toyota Racing Division shift knob....



and then there was wiring.... and fixing a problem.... and 4 hours went by....
but I figured out the issue with the compressor wiring.... my goodness does that fill up the tank quickly - and drain quickly.... some bubble testing will happen soon
some of the wiring, one of the radios

then throttle cable

[SuperBuickGuy]

starting to look like it did before

[SuperBuickGuy]

now it's starting to look like something... what, I dunno, but something for sure
gauges are in, hopefully permanently

and the oil pressure gauge works, sigh

More Jeep parts - mirrors installed


next is a dash (bar), and a harness bar.... I'm not using these seat belts...


and another nose shot (after turning it around)

lookin like she wants a test drive!

[Deaf Bob]

Makes me wish I still had my FJ!
Chevy pickup just is NOT the same!

[SuperBuickGuy]

it did get a test drive, for some reason the speedo isn't getting a signal... tomorrow's issue.

[SuperBuickGuy]

a ha!

[squirrel]

yeah it's starting to look like something! neat....and worthy of an avatar

[SuperBuickGuy]

actually, two phone calls and I've got a line on what the issue is with the speedometer.

[silver_bullet]

Diggin' that new avatar!

[SuperBuickGuy]

more crossing Ts and dotting 'i's

mirrors attached


still working on the speedo.... I swapped out the 3 wire for a 2 wire and still no bueno


and wired the hood lights




along with removed the squealing alternator... I hate replacing it simply because of a bearing... but it appears that is exactly what I'm going to do

[silver_bullet]

I hate when that happens too.....
