What a great weekend! Good friends, good trails and good food - Fall Crawl 2026 for the win! Thank you to all who attended, and a special thank you to all who made this event possible - Andrew, Kevin, Brian, Faith, Chris, Jake, Matt, Jeff + Mark...
A few shots of my 40 in its element. Thanks for the great weekend fellas. The 40 drove there, wheeled, and drove home without a single hiccup. Great first Fall Crawl!
What a trip! Perfect weather with great friends. Thanks CLCC crew for putting on a great event. Had a chance to chat with lots of friends - old and new. Just what this old guy needed.
Hey folks! I'm going to try and do some informal interviews for the TLCA at this event. I have a 360 camera setup and lapel microphones.
Let me know either in a message here or in person at the event if you'd be willing to have a quick chat for...
That sounds awesome, glad I saw this. My rig is running good ever since OTRAMM fixed the brakes. What I need to finish doing to prep for Fall Crawl:
1) Finish installing the twin stick kit - got the Hi/Low installed - need to finish installing...
Fall Crawl Mates,
Tomorrow I am going on a nice Saturday drive to pick up pre civil war cast iron waffle make that has been restored, seasoned, and ready for use. It turns out he has two. These are so cool I thought I would post it here. If...
i'll tell you what you want to hear. I don't know what's happened to this group here telling you to keep it stock looking like a station wagon.
Put a 2" lift on that sucker and make it look OEM+ you know you want to. It'll look so much better...
Can't believe I'm saying this, but for once I don't need any work done to the cruiser! But I'd be happy to help if someone does need work done to theirs.
After fall crawl might be a whole other story.
I was talking with Crash and we'd like to offer up a tech day for anyone last minute prepping for Fall Crawl. I was hoping to do it earlier but we couldn't get our weekend schedules to line up. We could do a tech day on Sunday the 18th if...
Have you gone over the rest of that 100?
Upper hatch. Under the Gulf States toyota fender flares, if equipped.
That's some serious rot to be isolated just in that one spot, IMO.
The dash gauge and scan gauge are likely reading from two different sensors. I haven't looked closely at the 4.7, but that's how the earlier trucks did it. One temp sensor for the ecu and another for the dash.
That is not a job I'd even touch. If the frame is that bad, so is everything attached to it. You could buy multiple non rotten trucks for what it would cost to fix that.
We worked on a truck that ORI butchered, but that was years ago and didn't involve frame repair. Judging by the pics, that frame is waaaaaaaaaay too far gone to put any money in to fixing. He'll be chasing issues forever.
On the hunt for aid vehicles today... At the U*S*S* Tokyo auction and a nearby Cruiser dealer. The U*S*S* Tokyo auction is the world's largest, auctioning up to 20,000 cars a day.
Put in some more work on FZJ80, ended up using only a section of the core support I got from @matzell turns out that the core support in the truck is completely rust free so just swapped the bad section for the good. Still need to pull the frame...
