Last year I posted a thread on a trip I took with my dad in my '40: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/55226-A-Trip-Back?highlight=fireflyr Here's an update on some of the improvements I've made since then. The 4 wheel disc conversion was finished and has been one of the best mods...

Finished the disc conversion. Poser brackets in the rear and JT Outfitters brackets up front. Monte Carlo calipers and chevy 1/2 ton vented discs on all 4 corners. The biggest problem was figuring out all of the different types of fittings that had to be used. The master cyllinder came from...

Not really an expedition here. Work has been a nightmare lately and last Thursday I was sitting in a meeting getting thoroughly abused when the 'Adventure' started to take form. Get the '40 out of the garage and drive north until I hit Highway 1, the Navarro River and a bunch of redwood trees...

I know this is going to sound pretty lame, but what the heck. Friday afternoon I saw an overland rig based on a Man diesel 4x4 chasis departing Tehachapi, California heading eastbound on Hwy 58. This thing was professionally built and more typical of what you'd see bombing across the desert in...

I took the family into Monache Meadows this last weekend and had the pleasure to watch some beautiful Land Rovers camp just past us. There was a red short wheelbase Rover:drool:, long wheelbase, Defender (built) Discoveries, etc. Hope you all had fun and thanks for bringing some respite to the...

Does anyone have the dimensions for the rear bench seat (BR1696) from DAP? I would like to find a similar seat to the stock Landcruiser jump seats, and these look like an economical alternative. They'll be going in the back of my FJ40. here's a link...

I posted these pictures over on MUD and thought I'd share them here. I test-fit my new Paki Soft Top on my '67 FJ40 last night. Enjoy.

We finally had some clear days so the trailer got painted. Here's a couple pics to show the progress. Still have the wiring and some odds and ends.

Just thought I'd post a picture of my '67 FJ40 and M100 trailer I'm starting to put together for fishing trips with my son. The '40 is mostly stock and the trailer was a pretty beat up military trailer that I've spent the last month re-doing. It'll eventually get a RTT and kitchen. The only...
