Thanks! Very grateful for that! The D40 was on the older F engines. If you have a 2F, this may be helpful. Thanks so much! czcams.com/video/CCX2diEXn8k/video.html

Thank you! Much appreciated. I hope it's helpful to someone down the line. 🙂

@TheNorvikWay About 53 miles total. It was definitely amazing. We highly recommend visiting the area. Thanks for watching!

My first one! I was starting to think it would never happen.

Glad you like them! There's a lot more Sierra I need to see and film!

My brother is the fly fisherman. I'm a spinning reel lure guy. Got some action the only day I was able to wet a line! I'm going back!

Thanks! That was a fun project.

Thank you!

Great to hear! Thanks for joining the channel. We also live just a short drive from Mt Laguna. You will LOVE Golden Trout. I backpack often in Laguna and Cuyamaca. Perhaps we'll cross paths someday.

Highly recommend it! We're going back to spend more time around Big Whitney Meadow.

Thanks! I've always hoped that if/when I got to see one that it would be exactly like it happened. In the wild where it was minding its own business, oblivious to my presence. It was perfect!

That's awesome! I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for sharing.

@@RanchoCoyote I shall return!

Thanks for the comment! We love watching the launches. Agree with you...they have a unique beauty!

We never get tired of watching these. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks! Really appreciate the comment.

Haha! Funny guy!

Great series...beautiful scenery....🤙

Thanks for the tips and the sub! I'll check out your channel and return the sub. I will likely be reaching out for more tips and info!

The seats are generic from a local speed shop. Not OEM from any particular vehicle. Top is from Bestop.

Thanks I will be needing a top for my 71 I been thinking about a bestop

I have 2 backpacking brothers who live in Northern California. I get together with one or both of them between June and October 1-3 times a year in the Sierra.

@@RanchoCoyote Sierras are always good in the summer.

@@wolfeadventures you must have plenty of options over there in the warm months??

@@RanchoCoyote plenty up here. I was thinking of SD County when I’m down. Not a lot of time to drive too far.

@@wolfeadventures Down here I have to monitor the forecasts and look for cooler periods. I also do shorter trips, like starting later in the day and finishing before the heat hits the next day.

Thanks! Sounds like a great project! Are you posting your progress on any of the FJ40 sites? I'd love to see it.

Yup, perfect weather! Fun hike. I haven't seen a video yet of your trip. Are you working on one?

Good eye! Lots of discussion about that in the community, but I personally don't know what the true story is.

Thanks! Really appreciate it. 😃

Don't know exactly, but it was last registered in 2006. There's no evidence that it was started or driven since then.

Thanks for the comment! Glad to hear! Thanks for watching.

That's the truth! Thanks!

Thanks. Having lots of fun with them!

Thanks to you for posting your trip! I never knew it was there!

@@RanchoCoyote 👌🏻looked like a great trip. Plenty of water still flowing.

Great scenery! Looks like a fun trip.

I'll go back if you ever want to go!

@@RanchoCoyote sounds good 👍

Thanks! You can expect some sagging since it's not Dyneema, but I've never had it be a significant problem. Just last week was the worst I've had with respect to sagging and condensation. I camped in a boggy area. It's a little annoying but functionally is not a deal breaker for me. My Zpacks Duplex gets some annoying condensation also. Comes with most single wall tents. Does this answer your question? If not, let me know. Thanks again!

Thanks Pat! Really appreciate the support and your comments!

Great video. I have 1975 FJ40 with a 2F motor . Been sitting now for many years. Basically put it on the back burner. Got married and we had 3 kids. Finally now I think it's time to start working on it again. I had bought a lot of new parts 20+ years ago. I'm sure they are buried somewhere in the back of the garage. ....👍🤙

@@TheNorvikWay great story! I had to wait until I retired to finally get time to work on mine. They're fun and relatively easy to work on. Enjoy it! Post some photos!

@RanchoCoyote I will. I planning on posting some videos as well.

@TheNorvikWay just checked out your channel. Nice variety! I subscribed so I can see your FJ40 stuff when you start posting.

Greetings to you also! Thanks for joining us!

Cool. Can you post a photo?

good to know, thanks!

Yo ando buscando un volante original para una 67 FJ40

@@mariofalfan2997Have you tried the forum IH8MUD?

Hey! Thanks for the response. Your suggestion sounds interesting. I hadn't considered that. On that thought, I think I'll do a differential compression test. We do them on aircraft engines. Are you familiar with those? Basically, you pump compressed air into the cylinder through the spark plug hole and measure how much pressure the cylinder can hold compared to how much pressure you're pumping in. Nice thing about that method is you can hear the air escaping from the cylinder, and you can tell if it's coming from a valve or past the rings. If the rings seem good, and it only needs a valve job, your idea would be a good option. If it also needs rings, I'll probably just swap the engine. Thanks again!!

@elizabethpedro3103

I guess I'll have to decide whether to spend time and money on a valve job and maybe rings, or swap it out with the 2F that came with the project.

Thanks! I will!😊

Thanks for watching and commenting! Really fun working on these things. Glad to hear you're enjoying!

Thanks! Glad I went last week. This week would have been marginal!

@@RanchoCoyoteit’s fun just to get out. Even if it’s just a quick one. Hope you are feeling better.

Thanks! Really hope it fires up! I have very little knowledge of the condition of it. Should be fun!
