Drove my nephew to the hunting property and had him install a new seat in one of the deer stands. I built three of these stands in my shop about a decade ago. I installed two near Hotchkiss CO and this one lives in Illinois.
This week's episode of the Classic Land Cruisers Podcast is live now. We all h8mud but I think an other common hatred is rust. this week I speak with ih8rust from Instagram about his freeborn red and white FJ60 restoration.
Got new plug bleeders for my front calipers and rear drums from my local Toyota dealer. I have a May 78 production year FJ40.
According to the dealer the front ones for the disc brake calipers are the shorter set P/N 47547-12010. as acquired...
It started in December 2005. I had a picture of a FJ40 in my cube at work. My co-worker was talking to me one day and said a buddy of his had one. I didn't give it much thought, being in Minnesota I figured it was all rusted out. After a long...

Have an amazing trip to Adirondack Park this week! I drove over 200 miles in a single day, and it was my first long drive since the rebuild. It was a completely different experience compared with driving 10–20 miles. It took some time for my...

On this week's episode
I speak with @Polecat about his fj43 soft top that was meant to carry the family now it carries his adventures. There is also a special guest host as my dog Imogen tries to become the host.
I was going to head back out to the park after the Ole Miss game but I decided I’d rather watch LSU and Alabama get beat so I stayed in the hotel. This morning I got 3 Shipley cinnamon/sugar donuts and a white monster and took some backroads...
Picked this truck up in Montana. Its been a couple weeks, but tearing it apart pretty quick so thought I would start this build.
My Dad and I drove his 6.4l Hemi Ram from WI to Helena MT to get this rig. Drove through Yellowstone on way home...
