It bears repeating: "Buy the vehicle, not the story."

Spa treatment going well

Took a break and went to the Relic run in NC. Got to hang out and camp with the Grandkids. It was Awesome catching up with Cruiser friends we hadn't seen in years. I was asked to go wheeling Saturday then Peyton said Grandpa you want to draw...

This showed up yesterday. Its still sinking in and after getting back from Texas I spent 2 hours pressure washing the mud from under the 45. She's all cleaned up and ready fo the weekend.

That's what I used on my lv when I built it.

I sourced some more stuff today from fellow 55 guys....I got a set of rear 55 tailgate side hinges and one striker. All removed from chopped up 55 panels. Had to get the drill out because heat was not working. They need a some work, 1 needs a...

I have 5 powder coated rims for sale with new shanked black lug nuts. Only 4 in pic but I have all 5. Local pickup unless you arrange shipping. Pismo Beach, CA $250 OBO

That quarter panel shot looks familiar (and nicely rust free).

Well since Fritz sanded most of the driver side original paint off when he painted it yellow I made the decision to go all in on a paint job. This is such a clean damage free body! Teaser pic.. The final product should be nice. No I’m not going...

Pricey but.. https://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/d/orangevale-toyota-fj-45-landcruiser/7730931812.html

In ca… for my fj60 I always put new plugs , cap rotor, air filter and fuel filter along with an oil change . And run it hard on freeway and make sure it’s hot when they test it. Some shops let them sit for a bit before they start the test. And...

I need 2 of those for my back doors.. what are they from? 👍😜

Wow...what a great thread and motivation for my project. Thank you. I miss SLO....Poly Grad 94'.........I gotta pickup those 55 side mirrors from John down there. I sourced a pair of NOS rear tail light assemblies from him. Pricey---but worth...

Price improvement $62,500usd Will be coming out of storage soon, hope to add some videos cruising home 70+mph and some photos of the documentation of its days as a Service Vehicle at Edwards Air Force Base.

OEM- along with mostly new internals

Well, good morning and Happy Easter everyone. I thought I would post up some progress pics. Got a roller going. Just a roller for now to accept the body for more sheet metal repairs. Eventually, will be blasted, painted, disc braking, FJ60...

A few other photos.

Threw on some load bars, changed the diff oil and torqued a bunch of bolts. Going to build a rear winch bumper, add some rock lights, diff breathers, prp seats and maybe a snorkel. Have Moab, Rubicon, Ouray and Dusy-Ershim trail runs coming up...

Getting Clifford ready for a trip to Utah.

Exhaust install day tomorrow. Then I can actually drive it.

A little technical information that I learned from my friend JimC @FJ40Jim. When doing a 60-series conversion on a 40, keeping the 60-series pitman arm can lead to interference with the arm/steering bar and the leaf springs. Jim recommends using...

Another 2 years of goodness! Passed smog again . Changed oil , lubed and getting ready for wheeling season.. Stopped by my buddy’s to see his new project(little brother 😂)

Thanks for the honest review! I’m honestly stunned that it hasn’t sold. You can’t gather up all of this for anywhere near the price. Plus it took ages of time & effort to get them all. A lot of value & effort savings in this package.
