If no one that goes by your place chimes in. I'll get you home.

I'd offer up a ride, but I'm over in Castle Rock, not really heading that direction. Although, if we hook up for those wheels I could run you up there and pick them up. Then again, I won't be able to make it out there until Saturday. Not much of a help it looks like.
Where is this shop exactly? I'm really hoping to make it, but I also need to get my truck running. We have one car between us until I do, and Franktown is a long way away considering I'd have to come back to pick my wife up from work at 4:30...

On second thought, if you need a ride back down to Franktown on Saturday morning, I could probably give you a lift. Let me know.
That might be the ticket. I got some time today, I'll take some pics of those wheels.
Today did NOT go as planned. Not going to make it tomorrow... Please take lots of pics, document, and make a killer writeup!

I don't see any other threads in Tech or Event Reports so I guess this is it. How is it going? Did you guys get the t-case input gear lined up properly with the idler gear? And what was that manifold business about, is that related to this project somehow?
Among many other chores around the house, I am working on the rear bumper project for my FJ60 today.

We'll do a report thread. We were missing the spacer between the transmission and tease. Brad had an extra and that issue was resolved. One of the exhaust manifold studs sheared off during removal, hence the call for a manifold.
The swap is done. The rig is rolling with 4 speed transmission. There are some small loose ends to take care of - which always seems to be the case.
Like I said above, we'll do a separate report thread with pictures and stuff.
