Introductions

[rusty_tlc]

Just a place to tell us a little about you and your rig.

[rusty_tlc]

Hi my name is Dan, I'm not on the twelve step plan. I like beer and cruisers.

My first cruiser was a 71 FJ40 I bought while I was in high school. It was my first car and I still regret selling it. My current Cruiser is a 75 FJ40. Right now it lives in differnt boxes and locations, mostly in my garag but a few parts are in my storage shed. I may actually be driving again by the end of summer.

[Mace]

I see you found Woody


Jason Mace
My first cruiser was in 88 and is still my crawler today.

[rusty_tlc]

I stopped doing that after I got married.

OH that Woody !


Yea he set me up, thanks for the heads up.

[CruiserJ]

My name is Jordan and I am origanally from south dakota and joined the USMC and ended up getting stationed at Bridgeport, CA. I have a 1968 Toyota LandCruiser FJ-40 and it is what i like to call my "pride and joy". Not a very pretty vehicle, for it does need quite a bit of work done to it but hopefully I can get it done within my time in the service while I have a guarenteed paycheck on its way twice a month. Any one who has a decently inexpensive way to combat rust and other slight problems, feel free to help

[rusty_tlc]

What kind of station is there at Bridgeport?
Every Cruiser has a hidden inner beauty that is only appreciated by the choosen. You must one of us.
I've been dealing with rust by the wackinchop method.
Hope you can make it to some of our runs. The club site is down right now but I expecte to have that fixed shortly. Our next run is scheduled for 9-24 on Fordyce, if you think you can make it PM me for meet time and location.

[flexing40]

My name is Mike. I am also in the BBCNN. I have a 72 FJ40 that I wheel in. Sprung over, reverse shackle. SM420, lockrite in front, lincoln in rear. Other than that pretty much stock. Oh yeah, a few wounds.

[MISFIT]

hi, my name is JJ. i just purchased an all original 74 FJ40. i have so much in store for my new baby. i am not a member of BBCNN, yet. i hope to get my shit running and wheel with some fellow cruiser-lovers.

[62 Dust Collector]

Howdy my name is Jeremy. I have had a 62' FJ40 for almost two years and I am now finally getting around to building her up. I have lots to do and no $$$ to do it with. I am hoping to get her going by summer time!? Only time will tell!! Hoping that I can get with some guys that know what they are doing and guys that are new to this and just want to shoot the s***! Hope to see you guys around!

[62 Dust Collector]

Wanted to be there but work called. Got to make the money before you can spend it! Maybe next month. I have alot of questions and not alot of answers. I love my LC but dont really know what I have and what I should do with what I have.

Here are some of my goals:
1. Power Steering Conversion
2. SOA? of Spring Lift
3. New front axle to get rid of ball and claw?
4. Inside Heating and Lights
5. Engine Swap? and Running Gears?

Everything with a question mark means I am not sure. I hear different things all the time.

Basically what it comes down to is I have a 62' FJ40, all OEM except the seats and seat brackets and tires and wheels. I am not sure what is under the hood except for the 1F with a 3 Speed Tranny and a centered rear axle. I need any and all help to get her up and running good. And yes she does run.

Thanks for all of you patience!

If you have a centered rear axel a lot has been changed from stock. If it is running why don't you joins us on our next run? It is a mild trail, hell I'm driving my full size stock truck. Meet time and location will be posted here as soon as availble.

[62 Dust Collector]

Not sure if I can make the run. I still have alot to do on the Ol' LC. Smoking valves, need exhaust pipes, all fluids checked out, carb tuned. Stuff like that. Whens the next meeting?
Thanks anyways!

Jeremy

[rusty_tlc]

Meetings are usually the second Tuesday of the month. This month there was a conflict with V Day so we pulled the date in. Don't want to get mad!

[NV777]

Hi, my name is Jim. I live out in Fernley. Got me an FJ 60 for my b-day last month. It`s stock for now, but looking to do a desmog and shackles asap. Looking forward to becoming a TLCA and BBCNN member.
Remember, It`s not what ya buy, It`s what ya build!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,
Jim AKA NV777

[rusty_tlc]

Welcome! Hope to see you at the next club meeting.

Meeting details are posted on the club web site BBCNN

[FJason80]

My name is Billy or Jason, which ever. I've lived in Truckee for pretty much my whole life. I'm 17 and my 80 is my first car. I enjoy out-mobbing my friends in their jeeps, and seeing their astonished expressions. It's completely stock for now, MT sliders and an ARB bull bar are on their way. Soon I hope. I'm looking forward to going on one of these expeditions with all you.

Jason.

[krokarthecrooked]

[rusty_tlc]

Hi Jason and Dan,
It was great meeting you guys and your family members Saturday. Hope to see you again soon.

I think Alvero may have given Jason a few ideas of what an 80 can be.

And I'm really interested to see Dan's daughters mini truck.

[maximusRMP]

My wife and I are moving to Reno (Lemmon Valley) next week, into our first home.
Looking forward to meeting some new people at the next bbcnn meeting next month.
Happy Holidays

[rusty_tlc]

Hey Mack! We'll be looking forward to meeting you next month.

[locrwln1]

I thought I would introduce myself.

My name is Jack.
My current rig is a '97 LX 450 with the factory lockers.
I've got OME mediums and Bilstein Shocks.
Removed the running boards and third row seats.
Running 285/75r16's
It's my desert/trail/highway rig.

Keeping it fairly stock, just to keep the driveability. I've had and built a '90 Wrangler for the rocks, sold it. Bought an '88 4runner SAS'd it, Marlined,etc...got tired of the rocks, sold it and decided to go back to my desert exploring roots. I still enjoy the local trails, just not interested in doing Rubicon/Fordyce/Johnson Valley type trips anymore.

If you see a beige LX450 with NV plates LOCRWLN on it, stop, wave or just say hi.

Jack

[Dumpolina]

Good evening. I am fairly new to Reno, and look forward to participating in this group. I was very involved in Toyotas for many years, and owned and wheeled many different models "back in the day." After a 5 year urban experiment, I now am back in the west, and just picked up a ratty old 82 long bed.
So after renewing my TLCA membership, I am sending in my introduction to the local chapter.
I look forward to meeting you all,
Grant

p.s. if anyone enjoys carb work, my new old 82 is going to need a lot of attention. When it warms up, I might buy the beer and pizza for some assistance.

Welcome.
Keep an eye on this forum, I post up meeting times/locations and trail run information here. You can also check our web site http://battleborncruisers.org/ , unfortunately the club web site is broken so you can't register there.

I'm assuming you have a mini truck with the 22R engine?

Thank you- yes, its a 22R- supposedly had some bad gas pumped through it, now it seems like it hits on 3, eventhough previous owner did a full tune. I just got it Sat, so have not dug into it. It was on Craigslist in case anyone saw it..

Howdy folks,
I'm Harold and at the moment down in Floriduh but have had two interviews so far for a job in Reno and am pretty fired up to get it and move out thataway. So, if it happens I will certainly be seein about meeting up with some BBCNers at the earliest opportunity. My ride: Her name is Ginny, she is a 64 FJ40 with a F155/4 speed sittin on 75 or newer axles assemblies. At the moment she is down to frame as I have been building her back up after the initial purchase. Hopefully, if the move happens I will have her farther along so I don't have to move 30 bazillion parts. If so, well I guess I just get more boxes. Either way, I wanted to say howdy.
BTW Thanks Dan for the help on the home info.

Good luck with the job search, glad I could help.

BTW there are a lot of Dan's in the club, 4 to be exact. Which is around 20 - 25% of the membership I think.

[Big Bore Lover]

OK one of da Dans. lol. I am really hoping this thing will work out as I am so tired of this flat/humid/overcrowded place.

Harold
