Settled on the name “Bluey” for the 40. Had trouble starting last week. Using all the knowledge from the forum over the years, I spent a Saturday checking around (spark, fuel,…..) Carb, starter, fuel. instead of enjoying the perfect spring...

HJ75 Creeped on Southern Unions campus in Opelika.

This is how I get these heavy bastards back in place

One corner down. These things are hard to deal with Stock packs are 110# each

s*** luck for sure. The previous two trucks came Suez in 43 days. Hoping my next container that was delayed due to the Iran attack will actually leave on the 25th with a 43 day route.

Publix’s on vallydale a few weeks back

Couple of good memories Gray one was my 2010, Bilstein 5100s, ended up on 305/75/16s with method double standards, Metaltech winch tube bumper and PureFJ sliders Black one was an 08 with OME 2.5 on 35s and the MB wheels that were on it when I...

I’ve been dreading taking this pallet apart for a week. The person that wraps these things is clearly the devil. I think they intern at @cruiseroutfit and when they determine they are even too evil for them, Dobinsons sends them to a finishing...

Good to know. He only charged me $127 for the inspection. Duties and fees though were pretty expensive. I made the mistake of putting the real cost of these trucks on my paperwork. They all will be $5000 trucks going forward

Those stats measure right for the box in this thing yes. Thanks. Here are a couple of videos. They did some nice touch up work on the paint and actually put a 79 series bed on it because the original one was a bit too rough. Cheaper to replace...

So that gets me up to current time. 9 months. Thats a long time and I appreciate how patient Brendan has been. My next two were scheduled to leave the west coast of Saudi on the 15th but Iran decided to lob missles all over the Persian Gulf so...

Jerry drove the 200 and I jumped in the FZJ70 with the 285/75-16s. This thing is a Rocketship. We ran 75 mph most of the way from Houston to Hammond Louisiana where we swapped and he took the 70 home to Hattiesburg and I pulled the 75 home...

F it. What’s another week and a few more thousand dollars. In Friday they released my container and my shipper said he would have the 70s ready for pickup on Monday. I swung through Hattiesburg, had dinner with my daughter and crashed at her...

Shipper contacts me. Good news, We can get your container out of Damman to the east. Bad news. Send me more money. Worse news. It’s got to go around the Horn of Africa. Transit time. 90 days.

Forgot to post that from yesterday. Today I changed the oil and used one of my dwindling stash of proper oil filters The oddball has been great.

Mississippi Delta day. The Oddball is such a great ride

I don't care for how the front camera looks where it is sitting, but I think that is the most out of the way place. Image is really good. I have it being trigger off of a relay in the console. The rear I think I'm going to put that on the...

From Shipland we had aforementioned burgers and shakes (Laird had strawberry which is pretty common there in the delta) We tried to loop back through Delta but we ran into a monster downed tree so we hopped back on the levees and traveled up to...

From Onward we traveled up to Shipland WMA to a spot that takes you to the MS river.

Rough week moving my 30k ft factory to a new 150k ft facility, so not as much progress as I had hoped on the 40. Rapter lined under the tub so I can' get it back on the frame next week.

First off. @cruiseroutfit is awesome. Picked up the slave cylinder, tie rod ends and carb rebuild kit last week. We focused on the body work this weekend but installed the tie rods on as well. Maybe priming and painting this week. Maybe.

On a brighter note. Found a few photos of the cruiser from back in the mid 1990's when I used to be cooler and drive the old girl.

To me, the 250 came in with good intentions (which it was supposed to be planned with similar specs to the GX), then along the design path, Toyota got word that the EPA was having more and more ridiculous mandates to meet, and they were so far...

I am very late to your thread, but saw your truck in Toyota Trails and immediately recognized it as my assigned vehicle when I was stationed at Eskan Village in late 1996. It wouldn’t keep up in the “Allah Lane” but for everything else it was...

Making havoc in the 75 today.
