We wheeled Blanca Peak today and were surprised with how technical the trail is. We had a great time though I wouldn’t come back with any of our other vehicles. We are off to the next destination tomorrow morning, which will be something more tame.

I used a 32” GM tilt / shift column from Speedway with their 15” GM early 1950’s truck steering wheel, Saginaw power steering in a 5.3 LS / 4l60e swap. Just google ‘FJ40 LS swap’ and a ton of information will be at your fingertips.

I don't even think this thing is worth parting out..... all I see everywhere is THICK bondo and nasty rust holes. I am not undertaking that kind of build again unless I can purchase a complete new cab..... I'll just take it to the shop and let...
In other news, my broker in Miami informed me that I received a big crate from Colombia🥳🥳.I can say so far that the man is legit. I can't say anything yet about the quality and workmanship, but first thing first... he sent it and it was fast...

I had to take another look at the rockers that I posted above and I didn’t realize that they did not have the lip.
I believe that the radius is different between the pre and post 79 rocker/door?
What is the story with the blue 45? Did you go pick it up and have you been driving it around? I’m glad to see some progress on the 4-door, too. You have been through a lot and it will be so cool to see you and the crew driving it down the road...
The company in Colombia seems legit so far. I've had great communications with the guy and he sent me pics of the parts being packaged into a wood crate. I received a FedEx tracking # . Tracked it. It has not left for Miami yet , but seems like i...
You guys are not gonna believe this😮
I just received a message from a friend . Says that he found something that might interest me...... I said what ? Here his answer
Not me, currently not in possession of a running solid axle Toyota. Lol. But I'll make it to SAS eventually. Long story short, ADHD took hold again and I changed to doing a 45 haha. Been working on the cab this summer, just got these corners I...
Well I didn’t know anything about links or the calculator, but I made a lot of trips back and forth between packaging and calculating…. no laptop with excel. It can be overwhelming. One step at a time, divide and conquer.
People get really...
X2 on this advice. I’m at 80-85% AS/AD and I am super impressed with the performance. It all came down to packaging for me, otherwise I would have been around 90-100. I don’t need it to be any different for my driving style and comfort, plus I...
I live in the rustbelt and I love my Aqualu cruiser. It is my DD through the winter months and I have a roadster to drive in the summer. My 40 has a full tub with cowl, windshield frame, running boards, aprons, fenders, and front bib. The...
