Good to see that you are healing and getting your FJ up to snuff...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Thanks for getting me back on the road, Mark.
Woulda been in a creek with a paddle otherwise.

Fosters aint too bad for a $2 pint. I like killians & scotch but my budget wont allow it.

Old grommets smelt pretty burnt. Oil black @1500.
Tackled the fuel filter also.
