All Pro now includes shackle mounts in the rear bumpers, so it ends up costing the same as the Warn even with the fact that I have to buy an aftermarket hitch.

Oh, and thanks we got the tshirts, stickers, and cards yesterday. There's a couple bad 40's on post here we're going to drop cards on.

fzj80 i recieved this message today from an upstate member that has an old 80 of mine, It's not locked but has the most extensive service and repair history of any rig you'll ever find.

glen just curious if you know any body that would want the 80 we traded. i put a new OME lift with shocks and steering dampener and new tires bfg AT 285x75x16 asking 6,000. let me know oh and the castor bushings installled as well. i bought another 40 and about to get another one and this has to go. hope you are doing well and would appreciate any help moving this rig.

Brock · 07-09-09, 07:16 PM

how much could it cost to throw an e-locker on it? They got to be cheaper than an ARB or is there other limiting factors than just installing one?

FZJ80 · 07-09-09, 09:04 PM

I was going to ask how much it would cost to lock it. I may need to find something sooner than later, The Range Rover started acting up tonight driving to Pawleys Island...lord knows 96+ Range Rover parts are made of gold so if its something bad, it may cost me an arm and a leg.

Glen, can you send me some pictures if available. I'll PM you my email address. Thanks!!

Jim use those tailoring skills on a large t-shirt and you could get 2 for the price of one. One for you and Chandler. It must be nice my fat a$$ needs a x-large just to fit in one. A large makes me look like a fat stripper, not a good mental image I know.

dbenke · 07-22-09, 03:08 PM

You and Brock.....He might do his Brittany Spears impression for you...LOL

Brock · 07-22-09, 07:14 PM

easy big fellow....i have you know I saw a missourian wearing a cut off shirt....he was about 50 with a mullet and belly three times as big as mine....and purple biker shorts. LOL I about puked my lunch up when he walked by..........wish I took a pic for Glenn to keep in his shop.

ocdbeetle · 07-22-09, 09:31 PM

thing is....I just know how to make my money stretch....buying all the fabric a dollar will fetch......LOL....

Ok....not......but I'm running out of things to do with the big shirt......Put it over my seat back in the 40, tried the Bruno with the knot tied at the waste, tied the arms, neck and waste and filled with helium, thought about using it for a pattern for a soft top......Used it as a sack to hold all my other shirts.......you get the idea.....

73fj40lc · 07-23-09, 01:52 AM

You all are killing me. Jim I will get one of those padded superman costumes. You can cut out the padded chest and arms and sew it into the tshirt. Hell wemon use push up bras and padded bras what would be the difference. We would then have to beat the wemon off of you. I guess that I am just stuck as a fat A$$.

Got my Upstate Cruisers welcome letter and stickers this week!

Brock · 08-07-09, 02:23 PM

Only stickers that really matter is the Lowcountry stickers. LOL

Hey guys, just bought my first LC. 1972 FJ40 w/ 2F out of 78 FJ55. Hard and soft top. 8000 warn winch, 33x12.5x15 BFG MT. It is a DD, a couple of issues that I plan on working on. Drove it from Gastonia, NC to Columbia, SC with no problems.

I LOVE THIS FJ!! I have wanted one for quite a while now. I sold my 05 Dbl Cab, 4x4 Taco so I could buy the FJ. Now the dream has become a reality.

I plan on adding PS and disc brakes to the front, and this forum has a ton of info. I am looking for anyone around the Columbia, SC area that would like to talk toy and wheel with.

Any info/advice is greatly appreciated!!

Hello Everyone,

I new to the board, but have always wanted a solid front axle Land Cruiser. Recently I totaled my daily driver, and looking to get a Land Cruiser to replace it. I'm a student at Clemson University working on my graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. I look forward to learning about Land Cruisers, and getting to know everyone on the forums.

Give a shout for Clemson area members in the upstate forem i'm sure they will reply. Doc now don't think for a minute that we in thelowcountry don't appreciate you down here it's justthat they are right near by.

Brock · 10-14-09, 05:07 PM

he has been around for a bit...yet to get him to our functions...hopefully we can turn it around this year. I hear the asshole VP is no longer in charge of things so it will be a bit friendlier atmosphere around here now.

lextechautomotive · 10-14-09, 05:22 PM

No need to change a good thing brock, it keeps the rif raft away.

yeah, who needs hazing with this bunch.

dbenke · 10-15-09, 06:56 PM

Y'all play nice, now. We don't want to scare anyone off.

BenMara · 10-17-09, 10:17 PM

This is more of a farewell then an introduction. In leu of recent events wit my income, ive sold the TLC for a weekend roadster.

ocdbeetle · 10-18-09, 08:13 AM

What kind of weekend roadster?

BenMara · 10-22-09, 11:58 PM

Was in the marked for a miata, The buyers Dad fladed out on me, was too good tobe true, should had him sign a agreement, oh well, guess it wasnt ment to be sold,

Buy a Honda S2000, trust me...

BenMara · 10-25-09, 09:42 PM

yea a AP1 would be nice, but im lookin for a fairly used RX7 now alot cheaper too, a roadster will be my midlife crisis car haha

FZJ80 · 10-25-09, 09:57 PM

Once again, buy an S2000. If your budget is anywhere under 10k, you'll be able to find an AP1. You'll hate having a rotary. I've driven many roadsters and the only one worth owning is the S2000 IMO. Nothing out handles it and nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than the S2000.

Here is a video of mine driving the dragon...
