Starts/run/drives. Low idle and sticking caliper in rear. Nothing desert tool can't complain about and fix.

Rubbed some wax on the 40, nice to see a 20~ year old paint job come back.

Dropped it at CBT for care and nurturing, and some fixing too.

I ran into this "immobilizer" issue. I knew this day would come and I was prepared. I swapped out the 20A EFI fuse with a 30A fuse, and it started right away. It was good for 4 days, then it wouldn't start again. I was very lucky that both times happened at home. I started probing, found out that the 0.14V voltage drop between battery terminal and EFI relay caused it not to start. It started with no problem when I ran a jumper straight from the battery to the EFI circuit. I wired a new relay to bypass the factory EFI relay, it is working so far.

The fix has been working without any issue so far. My immobilizer fix - is the write up for the fix.

Accel pump boot was trashed.

Hats off to Kristal from CBT for finding one, and getting in the mail fast.

my secret for the past few years has been a trip out to the McDowell Mountain Park entrance before heading over to the testing station on Raintree

I use to hate taking my 68 thru emissions in October every year. August must be a killer in a non A/C FJ40. Just that alone would be a reason to look into classic insurance. Not sure if you can get five year registrations in the valley but just the emission's cost five times is more than I pay for registration for five years.

I don't want classic car insurance - it doesn't allow me to use the vehicle off-road, but I want to be covered for that

Double check, but I think that part # covers all Aisan carburetors.

Hard to see right now and I'll get a better picture later, but did the step delete on the Seqouia today.

Explored a bit of Idano (mockery intentional) yesterday. Came across a creek I'd like to run up, but closer inspection shows those tracks are quad sized, not truck sized. Sigh. But there is an old mine or horse camp hidden above the creek, barely visible in the second image, mid left. Now to find a way to get there, without buying a quad ... lol.

I test drove the Cruisers under the new driveway shade I installed myself this weekend. Big shout out for the frequent help from LandcruiserPhil!

Made by a local company in Tempe named Absolute steel. I would recommend it if anyone is looking into one. Shade Canopy : Multiple Uses : 20 Year Warranty
