if no one has yet guessed, beside being my overland rig, this will also likely be my daily when the Colorado taps out (I do have plans for the 2.8 duramax/trans getting a new life in a yet to be purchased H3, but another story for another day)... Which leads me to creature comforts. While I do...

I have opinions on that, but I'm married.... long story short - my wife has commented on that picture. ;)

the long, dark tea-time of the build. It's where it's forever Tuesday - you do stuff, but nothing seems to get done. Thankfully, I know it will end but it's still only Thursday (deep, huh?) I do think I made a wise choice adding the red accent to the interior. No, no red seat belts. to...

glass installation first rubber then clean glass then glass Have I ever mentioned I'm not a fan of aftermarket panels? note, 2 screw holes to hold the windwing in place missing something? they forgot to drill this hole we take this moment to not destroy a door while unsticking a...

Assembly continues got the panels for the door then spent quality time cleaning and painting seat belts the other dirty one then cleaning ugh assembly picture and painting before the uproar... I'm getting the belts rewebbed. None of the aftermarket products have the door popper that...

not a lot to take pictures of today (working on cleaning the engine compartment) but starting on the bumper hooks and everything

It was a top day.... Since snow is forecast, probably a good time to get them ready for winter them? well the FJ40 too summer not summer let's try that with the Blazer oh wait... first I need to move the forklift. which would be easy if I knew where the keys went then, of course, it's not...

next year with the overland camper

it runs. It has bigger tires on it

back together, now without a leak :)

time to fix the leak bottom most line.... fixed reassembly I've done so many of these I suppose it was my turn to not get them all completely tight. It was suggested a long extension and crow's foot ... nope.... ah well, if I wasn't hacking and sniffling I suppose this would have been a one...

time to figure out why the pump is leaking but first, make it easier to work on then fix the intake this is where I'm at... playing tetris getting the intake out... think I need to pull the upper radiator hose

Onto finding out what parts I forgot to order.. Installing felts after 2videos I still have no idea why these clips are here installing the grill, the clips don't really hold so a bit of glue the 'other' style... set in place bumper on since the bumper's on there, might as well test fit...

time to adhere the badge so I've been fighting this for a minute getting the heated mirror wires through the tube through the door frame but I found a solution, panduit reminants first, though, you need to pull the grommet all the way through it's large enough and stiff enough to push through...

Intercooler? maybe but before that, time to fix a leak and finish painting the interior panels

I'm going to remind something here.... normally I wouldn't put this kind of effort into a 4x4 but the goal of displaying a new product camper time to darken the interior to match the seats and fixing cracks then paint, flat chalkboard black

Just before paint was testing the turbo... it has a fuel leak that I need to fix before I get full jiggy on it but I've driven it some. Kind of fun with the tiny tires on it. There are seats in it, very beat up seats...

what makes you think that I haven't? ;)

Interior (at least most of it) arrived today dash I had recovered to give it a softer appearance. and a new insert not sure I'm thrilled with this part.... mostly because the glue on it is worthless not sure this was the red I wanted but I really like it so it's all good recovered...

got a bit done bumper is welded up and on the truck for final fit
