This week I heard from Josh and Troy who are both joining the club, some of us met Josh at the last meeting as he was thinking of joining us and Troy told me this week he'll be joining. Hopefully we'll get to meet up with him soon. Both have been active in the club house here and I'm glad they have decided to join us.

Welcome guys

glad to have you.

You already have with your 4-Runner. Don't get me wrong I'd like every cruiser we can round up in the club but I'd like to get some of the other Toy 4x4 truck and 4-Runner owners involved. Where are the FJ guys

to many

's driving them around here.

BikerTrash · 03-15-07, 07:02 PM

Now that you mention it, like every FJ cruiser I have seen has been driven by a

Hey. Im thinkin about stoppin by at the crawfish boil, but it all depends on if the cruiser is in a good mood. We are puttin on our 3rd set of brake lines in 3 weeks on it saturday. Everything else seems to be 100% up on the jackstands though, so we'll see. And the LA4x4 meeting is right in the middle of my spring break, but coursey blvd is just a few minutes from me so i should def make the other meetings. im also lookin forward to the expo...maybe i could get some new tires for the 40 and maybe even the 100 lifted by then

I hope the brake lines work out so you get to make it. Which ones you having trouble with flex lines or bent tubing? The Expo will be a great time. We have several works days to help with trail preparations for that event. When its time we can use all the help we can get.

we have replaced the rubber lines with stanless steel braided lines. when we put them on, the bent tubing that runs along the axle was corroded and snapped off. then my dad stripped the new line installing it. so all we need to do to finish it is install the new lines, bleed the brakes, and isntall a new electric fan. everything else seems to be fine up on the jack stands. its louder than i remember it

Are you by any chance Albert that I received an email from tonight. If so I replied to you. If you're not welcome and we'd love to get more folks with Tacoma's, PU's, 4-Runners or any other Toyota 4X4's involved with us. Maybe you can help break the mold and spread the word. I've had them all and they are all great vehicles. You've found the club house here on MUD which is a great place to see what we're up to and chat with our fellow club members. You can also visit our website in my signature below for more info. Your welcome to attend our meetings and events as we have a great group of guys. I look forward to talking with you more.

I'll break you in with the official salute as you'll soon get welcomed from others, it goes like this "Welcome

"

Welcome

Scott

Doable · 04-05-07, 07:52 AM

Yea, Larry that was me that sent the email last night.

Thanks guys for the welcome . I had a 71 FJ 40 that I got rid of about 10 years ago. The one unique thing about it was that I had replaced the turn signal indicators on the dash with a set from our International truck which had the words LEFT and RIGHT stamped inside the lamp covers on the dash. Just incase ya'll saw a cruiser with turn signals on the dash that was my old cruiser.
I'll try to post pictures of the project truck I'm working on. Later Albert

funklegit · 04-05-07, 08:05 AM

welcome and what color was that fj40 because i bought my 71 about 10 years ago from a guy in broussard

Doable · 04-05-07, 09:07 AM

I sold it to a guy in Broussard , humm. It was a red cruiser with white top.

Doable · 04-05-07, 09:25 AM

Small world

Doable · 04-05-07, 08:27 PM

WOW, That is crazy that it is still in this area. I drove it back and forth to work on hwy 90 for half a year.Never got to trail ride it or anything.

Thanks

that is a kind offer funklegit, but it's like an addiction if I drive one again I'll want one again

funklegit · 04-05-07, 08:35 PM

i know what you mean, theres a picture of it on the pictures of rig posts on the third page

Doable · 04-05-07, 08:48 PM

I must say it looked nothing like that when I had it. I got it with a 'C' channel front bumper and dull red paint.
It sat for six months in the back yard and I did not have the free time to work on it or drive it and from my brothers knew what happens when they sit for to long. So it had to go. Glad to know it's being used.

Volunteer · 04-05-07, 10:00 PM

Good story, good folks like you Albert help guys get a hold of their dream rig rather than let it rust away in their driveway so no one else can enjoy it. Things have away of coming back around.

BikerTrash · 04-07-07, 07:53 PM

Hey Doable, dont know if you rember me but you told be about this club a few months back on Marlin's board. Trucks looking good by the way.
