Y'all probably noticed, but I renamed this thread. Since I started the thread my perspective has changed considerably and I did not feel the original title of "Proud new owner: 78 FJ40 w/ 71k miles" fit anymore.
First, I'm not a new owner anymore. It's been like 9 months and I'm not going to be getting away with calling myself a newbie much longer. I actually sorta know what I'm doing (in some cases)!
Second, I may be proud, but not in the way I originally intended. Humbled would be better.
Third, my daughter officially named the rig "Uglina" and she deserves her props.
Fourth, this is really a fix-up thread, and I don't want people to be confused.
