Test fit the shift levers and it was a failure. Close, but not gonna work. I dog legged them over too far and it was just touching the body. Straightened out the bends and checked again, much better. Mocked up, tacked , and welded. Don’t mind...

We had a little birthday celebration and I got some pretty awesome great gifts. :)

While I wait for black paint to touch up the frame and axle, started the rear camera snout. Mockup looks solid and clears the tailgate when open.

Found this in owners Manual folded up in my Dads 1985 FJ60 Cruiser. He bought it new and said the salesman said he had 10 on the lot and that Toyota make him buy like one for every 20 compact cars they buy. Only option was choice of 4 different...

I was left unsupervised today. See what happens? This is the most unmessedwith thing I've ever had. Time capsule. 22re base 5speed

Should fit close to here. Trouble is navigating the exhaust pipe/muffler and getting the swingarm fore/aft right. Going to have to move some brake lines and fuel lines around the pipe too

Maybe the last two weekends… Drove from NYC to the Solid Axle Summit in Ouray, CO. Did some epic trails, hung out with some Mud legends and had a great time all around. Leaving NYC Kansas! 3 days and in Colorado, 2F power- 24 hour Black...

Totes legit usage of an FJ60 ... plant run at the garden center, lol.

Ok, all fixed. Fortunately SAS9 is about 1 hour from Proffits Cruisers & they fixed me up with a good used fan motor. Was not a direct fit but took the ‘new’ motor out & put it in the old housing. All good now. The brushes AND the armature...

So I sold my fj62 back in February. Picture below. It was a solid rig, I sold it and I regretted it. Went through a few other Toyotas and I'm back in the club! Picked this 1989 fj62 Colombian spec today! Needs a few things like power steering...

Came out perfect, and the license plate is nicely centered. Very happy with it

Dissent doesn’t offer a single or dual gas can holder swingout and my garage space is very narrow. Going to merge one if their swingout arms with a Motobilt holder or two

Spent 8 hours yesterday doing paint correction followed by a thorough wax job, then wheel polish and interior detailing. Amazing that original paint is able to hold up this well! We took her into Houston to our favorite microbrewery this...

Got some small stuff accomplished for a 9 day trip to western Colorado coming up very very soon. Coupla roof rack mods, interior doo-dads, oil change, suspension bolt re-torque, that sort of thing.

With a newborn in the house, just enough time for a quick install. Swapped the OEM horns for some PIAAs based on @dbbowen post. Real nice upgrade in tone and volume. I went with the superior bass. https://a.co/d/a4XEI90

Oh boy. Went and did a thing. Son went with me to just "check out" this sweet 1983 FJ60 that has been sitting for.. a while. Last registered in 2000, been on non-op since. But, as far as I can tell, it's also about the most rust free and no...

She’s been parked in the corner of a Norwegian restoration shop waiting her turn to get the treatment, now Kenneth and his team have started to make progress, yes she’s from Sweden and I drove her here to the Telemark region in Norway where I’m...

Stayed with some friends last night from Austin who moved up to the Hudson Valley. They have a gorgeous 40 and daily 200 series. Felt right at home parking in the driveway for the night. Plan is to ramble around Vermont, NH, and Maine for the...

We are officially entering Maine today. Had some epic camping and traveling through Vermont and New Hampshire. Dispersed camping in the green mountain natl forest never disappoints

1500 miles down, cool temps, and forest roads!

And we’re off!
