    Seeing you on sitting on the box for a seat gave me a chuckle. It reminded me of my first project car, a 72 firebird, I was so exited to get it running I put a five gallon bucket to sit on. My friend and I took it for a test drive. I rapped the throttle and we both ended up in the back seat, hilarious. Luckily, I was able to scramble up to the front before we hit anything. Good times!

    Agree with other comments, no one else on RUclips that I have seen is at this level. Most do half baked hack jobs and have over baked egos. Hopefully that axle seal just got damaged when you installed the axles, and it's not a concentricity issue. The FJ70 I bought had a spun rear axle bearing that was so bad, the axle seal wasn't concentric with the axle. Ended up machining a short axle stub to see what was going on, and it was just "slightly" off center. Used some JBWeld to build up the housing where the seal sits, and thank the Lord, she's leak free. I feel your pain brother.

Came to a prefect stop facing the freeway (and in the middle) and everyone else stopped looking at me. Got up straightened out crate looked at everyone gave them a friendly wave and took off…
