A little random but if anybody wants a good read with a few saltwagon fj40 shots I wrote an article for a camera websites blog. Its about using a 20 year old digital camera. https://blog.camerawest.com/an-ode-to-a-digital-dinosaur/

Thats awesome! its a weird transitional time for photography where lots of digitals are getting to that Vintage age and many of them are fantastic. My favorite camera of all time is a nikon f2sb film camera though.

Since I’m shooting professionally, I need the latest and greatest. If I want/need an old school look on digital, I adapt Mamiya RZ lenses that give it an ethereal feel OOC.

My favorite 35mm is my old FE2.

those are underated!
Mrs. Kings' first camera was a Kodak instamatic (with flash cubes
) when she was 12. When she started getting into good film cameras in her teens and twenties along with her love of nature photography she did some commercial shoots plus wedding photography as a paying gig. Early on she used a lot of Minolta equipment and and then various others. Now it's mainly a hobby for her in retirement. We do a lot of wilderness hiking and she has captured some some good pictures of wildlife.

Hi @Ruben C . Can I please get a quote for rack and pinion replacement. I believe these are the necessary parts. This is for 99 LC. I can PM you the VIN. I am in SoCal. If you can waive the shipping, it will be attractive compare to other online stores. Thanks.

That's probably standard in the US, but I'm not aware of any other country that uses Amber side markers, so anywhere else would be both Amber lights flashing together.
Feel free to correct me..
I am having fun with my Polaroid sx-70 and oneshot. 1975 and 77 respectively.Mrs. Kings' first camera was a Kodak instamatic (with flash cubes

The sx70 is so fun to use! I need to find another one.

Restored an 89620-60010 semi transistorized igniter. Took this all the way down and rebuilt completely. It’s amazing how well these were made and how repairable they are.
Also, since waiting for my parts from @ToyotaMatt, I grew a beard and had to drive this over the winter…it’s not a bad daily driver. In fact, before there were Landcruisers, this is what we would be riding into town and tying up next to horses.

You might want to park it during hunting season.
That's pretty ballsy

I’ve had the kit for probably 3 years. Seeing as I’ve put maybe 7 miles on the truck in that time, they’re not a high priority to get to yet.

Nice work on that rebuild!
Drove it today... driving it again tomorrow. It's getting to the point where I'm mostly non-nonchalant about it. Like, yeah, I'm driving an FJ40 like it's no big deal, how you doin? When I drive my '07 Ram 2500 SLT quad cab 4x4 with G56 Mercedes Benz 6-spd and 5.9 Cummins in Patriot Blue Metallic, even though it is a highly sought-after Unicorn, I still feel completely invisible! LOL I'm vehicle blessed!
*Edit: and every time I drive it, I see either a LandCruiser or a tricked out overlanding FourRunner, go figure. I want to wave, then realize they would have no idea why this Dodge guy is waving.

Ordered a windshield gasket and lock strip from my local dealer ($119 tax/title/license out the door) and called a local shop to cut/install the glass. Can’t wait to have it back together.

Not what I've done, but what Gary and crew at @Mudrak has done.
I got my '74 in the queue about 20 months ago, but it was worth the wait.
I went to his shop in Napa this morning for a test ride and a meet up. He's almost done with the work I asked for, sniper, 2" lift, gaskets, a bunch of other stuff, rides really nice, it already had power steering and disc brakes, but he cleaned up all the plumbing, I'm very happy, can't wait to get it home.
