After 3+ years of adventures, the Hall of Fame HZJ73 starts a new chapter today! Parting shot at delivery during the first rainy day in weeks. I will let the new steward take over the story from here,…………………………………………………

HAPPY DAYS AT CRUISERS and COMPANY Thanks to the @Cruisers and Co crew for two short days at World Headquarters. For background, I delivered my FZJ79 for what we are calling the 1FZ-FE TURBO STAGE 0.5 - basically the STAGE 2 turbo without the...

Happy Friday. Locked in the hubs around lunch time today and went to check out an old open pit mine that I discovered on my ATV years ago. Good day for a quiet drive in the woods with the dog. The roof rack broke off some low-hanging tree limbs...

Some current pictures, more to come from me or @BiffS today!

73/74 can have them ;)

The rest

It wouldn’t be the first chopped fj4x … some good … some not so good To each’s own At least two got the bezel correct :meh:

A friend reached out because he knows I've owned a Toyota for a long time. His neighbor has a Supra with a 2JZ-GTE, and wants it gone. I also have access to a great body, front clip, and hardtop for what appears to be a 74' FJ40. I can pick up...

Been a minute since I’ve had any updates…life has a funny way of getting in the way. This project is nearly complete and unfortunately I need to sell it due to some personal changes. This is a potentially good opportunity for someone to get...

Long day at work today, so I ended it with a cruise through the National Forest. Locked in the hubs and went back into some beautiful country. This was one of those days where I shut the engine off and just listened to absolute silence for a while.

Work em like a fiddle.

But we need to first make him feel like he has the holy grail…have to build them up before we can take them down!

Almost done. If you use 60 knuckles don’t forget these little TRE spacers to allow the smaller 40 rod end to fit One side at a time. You can reuse the 60 short side direct into a 40. Popped the course birfield off and got the 60 birf onto...

Wow. $20,000. Are these people not willing to seek help? You tried. Let them at it.

I blame @J Mack ,makes one nice pig go over 6 figures and then idiots see shiny paint and have zero vehicle knowledge other than to much money. I still don’t understand all the car collector jackasses who buy these things and park them, I get it...

It’s become an appeal/ status thing I think. “Oh, they have a $106k Land Cruiser, I can get one for have of that!”

That thing is a train wreck.

By Teslaguy…

Rustytoyota was kind enough to gently warn bidders. And afterwards the next bid is a $7k increase. Wow! There’s lots about this auction that doesn’t compute.

I maintain my stance that BAT has been the largest contributor to ruining the used car market, well aside from the government sponsored cash4clunkers. I can't believe someone has bid that thing that high with all of the easily visible issues.

Go time! 🤩🤌 Cheers

Someone is going to get torched on this. BaT is becoming a joke of a platform…

I know Im a horrific snob when it comes To South American trucks so I am assuming there is more body filler than steel here...
