I am starting my second year in the DO program at Des Moines University. I have a little under a month left of summer and my wife and I are expecting our first boy any week now, so that should keep us pretty busy.

Thanks, but it definitely doesn't look as clean as those pictures. My car waxing fanatic neighbor has been waxing a panel here and there as I have been doing some PM this summer so it might clean up a bit. The cruiser has been up on jack stands all summer because I have been waiting for some OEM hard brake lines to be shipped from Japan. CDan called me the other day, so I should be back on the road soon. Does anybody have any day wheeling trips planned in 2 weeks or so close to Des Moines?

Howdy - new land cruiser owner
Wanted to introduce myself. I've been hanging around MUD for a month or so and learned recently about Iowa's Tall Corn Cruiser Club. My name is Jennifer. I live in the Des Moines area with my partner, two boxer dogs and two grey cats.
I just bought my first 1977 FJ40 at the end of October. She's mostly stock and in pretty good shape, she's even got the original locking hubs sticker. I want to go back to stock wheels and caps, which I recently picked up. Just need some new tires now. I replaced the window regulator today. It was great to take the door off and bring it into work on the dinning room table in the warm house!
I've not done much wheeling before, but look forward to meeting some of you folks and learning from all the wisdom on this site. Here are some pics

Welcome, really nice FJ 40. Hey Art, is this what yours is supposed to look like in say, 5 years.

Sue, welcome to the Iowa corner of IH8MUD and hope to see you become a member of Tall Corn Cruisers! Even though you don't have much wheeling experience, that doesn't matter to us, we are here for our trucks, the friendships, families and fun!
Larry, I could only hope that Olivia will look that good in 5 years.

Hey don't worry, she's parked in the garage all nice and snug! I daily drive a 99 Tacoma and wouldn't dare drive my 40 in the salt and winter weather.
Looking forward to meeting you all. Thanks for the intro's.
Jennifer

Thanks Brent. It was a mess getting her shipped here from Vegas, but I ended up hiring a guy from MI who is a cruiser owner. He has a built 40 and joked (sorta) with me about driving home without stopping off here to unload HesterSue. Check out his cool rig.
Also a photo of the dogs - they're not so sure about her

Thanks Art. I'll be joining soon. Glad to hear my wheeling experience doesn't matter! The other is what's important to me too.

That is one heck of a Tow Rig, Mud ship at it's finest.
I'm sure the dogs will like it better when their noses are sticking out the back windows.
