    Eastlake Auto Brokers - Seattle area

    Eastlake does seem to take a strong stand on used Land Cruiser inventory in the Seattle market - so I visited them some years back when shopping. Similar to others I got a weird "vibe" after speaking with sales staff and test driving the trucks. The person I worked with did not have an...

    SOLD Bellingham / Seattle WA : 2013 GX460 85K miles modified for backcountry travel & camping

    Images of the (third row delete) custom cargo shelf : and with an example of tie down: In a previous LC (100 series), the previous owner had installed some beautiful (but heavy) drawers. With this 150, I was looking to maximize flexibility and keep daily weight in check. On week long...

    SOLD Bellingham / Seattle WA : 2013 GX460 85K miles modified for backcountry travel & camping

    Thanks for asking for more images ... My plan is to post the truck on mud for a week before posting elsewhere. Probably next on expedition portal. The custom fold down wooden table in "up" transit position. Nice stained wood with brushed aluminum trim - and ties to trims on the cargo deck...

    first time stranded fj62 - crank no start

    Monday morning update: visited truck just after sunrise (still there) - same elements, starter trying, not catching. Particularly cold (for here) 16-18F and due to stay that way for next four days. I have a tow truck on path for midday (once they clear the monday icy emergencies) and taking it...

    first time stranded fj62 - crank no start

    I don't have any good options tonight - will have to pursue options in the morning. Agree your concerns. Sounds like the starter is trying to start the engine but not "catching" - could be a fuel pump as 3_puppies implies

    first time stranded fj62 - crank no start

    I'm not familiar with that approach. Searching now - but not immediately finding a "how to"... is there a thread that explains this?

    first time stranded fj62 - crank no start

    Temperature dropping (mid 20F), snow falling and made a running to the dump...(15 min drive). Turned off the truck while unloading (5min)... First time in 20yrs the truck cranking but not catching...battery fine but no even a partial start. Tried to tap starter but no difference. I read...

    The winter rehab progressing and I'm ready to drive / explore in the next month (so time to button it back up)... Truck back from our leading NW Cruiser specialist Torfab.

    Saying goodbye

    @Super77 ... ...have retained - and just refreshed - my 1988 FJ62. Torfab just replace rusting C-channels and installed a fresh OME/Bilstein suspension and the truck feels/run great. With 247K miles I did POR-15 on the frame rails, removed a failing headliner and added kilmat to deaden the...

    Really stupid question- roof rack/ tent install

    For both HD cross bars and full LnL platform, cross winds seem to create some wind noise. The LnL platform is robust, but in N config it is pretty heavy (near 100lbs). I'm still tinkering with how I'll do a roof load... A full platform certainly overkill for all known RTT, but like having...
