What was that dealers name?

kb3gun · 02-01-09, 04:00 PM

Can't believe I forgot to mention Laurel Toyota of Johnstown. Part of the Laurel Group. Of Johnstown Pa (Pennsylvania). Laurel Toyota. If your vehicle is dirty, if your tires have tread, if you use it for work or for play, they will call it abuse and won't honor the warranty. That's what I hear anyway.

And here I am. Just took delivery of a plasma cutter last week and I haven't even been able to play with it yet. Thanks LAUREL!!

So Em and I bought an '08 Brick red FJ Cruiser with upgrade two package... no pics at the moment... it is salty white

but I had the stealership add 4 stock size BFG AT's, Ipod interface, and the OE hidden hitch. I'll post up pics soon.. it is so NICE

I'll be trailering the Sami up to PA with it to wheel, should be fun and wow isn't it wierd not to be driving a rig with 200K+ miles on it

76FJ40 · 02-05-09, 01:38 PM

Wayneraintree · 02-05-09, 02:28 PM

Maybe round 2 of RC rocks ? Or later KOH?

zucruisers · 02-05-09, 05:06 PM

the KOH qualifier is for the 2010 KOH race in CA...so there isnt a later race

the second RCROCS event is june 13th

racefanmartin · 02-06-09, 10:12 AM

I knew it was only a matter of time before you had an FjC....

Congrats...

kb3gun · 02-06-09, 10:37 AM

Just don't drive it offroad...

Just Kidding. You probably have good dealers out your way.. The brick red is starting to grow on me. Do you have a set of 37"s picked out for it yet?

Wayneraintree · 02-06-09, 12:23 PM

I am stoked for the FJC.. I like driving it and it is damn nice to drive a modern truck at times...
No 37's (yet : ) ) I am waiting until I am out of the warranty period (100K) before any real wheeling, the Mrs. would absolutely do me in... I am not sure how she handles me now?

CJBury · 02-07-09, 08:13 AM

So Jeff what was with all the questions about an 80 the other day? Are you looking into getting one of those too?
Congrats on the FJ.
Have you had any of the ill effects of the storms that blew through KY? The news reports looked pretty bad.

Wayneraintree · 02-08-09, 06:33 AM

Yeah, the 12" of snow and ice really kicked our......... nothing! We were in Florida the entire week, LOL!

My friend and I were scheming to get 15's inder his 40th anniversary 80 series.. he wants black wheels and 35's so I was trying to help figure it out.

I was between a 100 series, 80 series, and FJC....... figured I would try the 120 platform since we like the 4runner so much, plus it is so well configured for wheeling (someday, ya know )...

toddslater · 02-13-09, 02:42 PM

Well hell...I also picked the

up an 08 FJC in blue two days before xmas. It will be a pavement queen for quite some time as well. I also have amassed enough bits and pieces to see if I can bring life back to that rusty green pig I picked up from you. A few warm weekends and we shall see if it'll huff and puff. Don't forget Jeff...if your coming east via Columbus...stop and pick up some tires for me ! Congrats on the FJC...I like it...Jake on the other hand misses the rear slider windows of the 80 or the 360 view of the 40.

Wayneraintree · 02-15-09, 09:05 AM

Hey, I dumped the Sami and picked this up

couple holes in the floor, otherwise it is rustless ... unbelieveable. '81 Hilux with funky leaf paint, snorkel, and silly roll bar rails

zucruisers · 02-15-09, 09:12 AM

you're fawkin ridiculous

mini looks decent though...so what are the plans? 4.3? exo? and 37's?

speaking of getting rid of rigs, anyone wants to buy my cummins??...i need to sell it

Wayneraintree · 02-15-09, 12:03 PM

I guess I plan to wheel it and use it around the house, 'scaping and wood truck... should work well for that..

I have a little engine work to do, then I have t-case doubler to do, 35's to throw on... don't think it'll get the workup the '85 got since I am going for dual purpose with it... likely some paint and armor, lockers, winch, that's about it but I am not in a hurry with it, it is wheelable as is and it was CHEAP

bkfj40 · 02-16-09, 09:56 AM

I'm glad to see that your shmukster-itis wasn't cured when you left PA. I'm disappointed that you have some land around you - I would've thought that the neighbors would have loved to seen all your vehicles around the yard...

Wayneraintree · 02-16-09, 10:19 AM

you must be in contact with Emily...
BTW, this Hilux had a flag mount on the roll bar.... must've been some southern culture pride rig at some point, LOL.

Lugboot · 02-17-09, 05:37 AM

What'd you say? You bought some gay pride rig?

NTTAWWT...

Wayneraintree · 02-17-09, 06:14 AM

now that I have a visual of gay confederate leaders... LOL

1974 Toyota Land Cruiser

These people think they are sitting on a pile of gold!

kb3gun · 04-17-09, 01:29 PM

They're sitting on a pile alright... Just not gold.
Nice parts vehicle, if all you need parts for is the hard top.

John Smith · 05-18-09, 03:43 PM

Does anyone know anything about this auto dealer, good or bad? They seem to have a bunch of used cab & chassis trucks unlike any dealer nearby. Thanks

Not too far from my house....Have heard good things....
Neighbor was looking at a pick-up there...

But don't have personal experience with them.
I could ask the neighbot what he thought.

Craig, did you see the work your pop did on my 40? He does nice work, good man!! Steve

Thanks for posting up. I am glad to hear they have a good reputation in the area. They seem to be a rather unique dealer in that they carry a large selection of used cab & chassis trucks unlike any other dealer I can find in the multi-state area.

Stumpalama · 06-02-09, 04:30 PM

The truck is parked outside a new restaurant called Iron Abbey just south of Willow Grove NAS on Easton Rd in Hatboro-Horsham. It's a Pub with a Brazilian steak house in back.
They are using the FJ40 as advertising "Because of the name of the restaurant and the toughness and unique look of the Land Cruiser" - a quote from one of the owners. I had to stop and ask about the truck... of course. They bought it in Oregon and had it shipped here. It looks to have been built for wheeling with a roll cage, roof rack and OME 2.5" lift.
Just thought I'd pass it along incase anyone happened by the area and was thirsty.

I will have a drink there if for no other reason than they know what a Land Cruiser is.

Cheers-

That's pretty cool.
