What type of a river guide? Guide for fishing only or also for canoe/kayak trips?

Not mush else needed unless you want to tell everyone about the 80 (e.g., year, mods, hopes and dreams, etc.).

And back on the road! Super rad couple. EDIT: those of you with 05/1995 and later 1HD-FTs: make sure to take a look at your injection pump and see what style fuel cutoff solenoid you have. If you have one with a “control unit” black box...

European HDJ80 landed at the shop. Always hate when Land Cruisers arrive this way, but we will get it going quickly and efficiently. They have been living out of this 80 for a decade. 🤘🤘

Finally got round to fitting the burrito warmer. I had this on my '94 but pulled it off before I sold the truck back in 2021. Then I lost it. :( Then I found it again. :) Not sure if Frank still knocks these out but I absolutely loved mine...

Leak does appear to be from the oil pan gasket. As minor as this leak is are you sure you want to replace the gasket?

Land Cruiser photo from the archives. The Red Hills region of south central Alabama is known for its slimy slick roads after a good rain. This is the mud build up on my FJ60's tires from driving on a public county road in the Red Hills. Four...

Some how gets quicker too, funny how that works. The cat was cheaper in a sense cause I’ve been buying a house and moving, I have had no time to bang out a job like this my stuff is everywhere and the o2 sensor was making my truck run hella rich...

It almost always costs le$$ the second and third time doing it. :lol:

Good advice above on marking the flywheel, crank pulley and timing cover. For rotating the motor I place the transmission in 4th and roll the left front wheel while looking through the timing window and watching for the timing marks.

Is that Trotter's old 40?

After fixing the eyelets at the battery for the headlight harness I decided to replace all the bulbs since I have no idea how old they are. I went with 4 Sylvania 9011s. Bulbs I removed were a mix of Phillips and Sylvania and since all were...

I bought an 80 in Alabama almost 2 years ago. The PO had it in CO where it blew the head gasket and PO had a shop in CO replace the gasket. I think the only thing this shop did correctly was replacing the head gasket and torquing the head down...

Started the buggy process. 🤣🤣🤣

Bowden cable is the term. You can find generic Bowden cable kits online, or with some DIY ingenuity you can make one out of bicycle/motorcycle/moped stuff. Bikes use them for brakes and shifting. Buy a cable and some housing and cut both to size...

Winch did come from an old Bronco, and I installed it on the old FJ40 after rebuilding it. Winch then moved to the 80.

Picked up a good used ARB from one of the guys at OTM (Over the Mountain Cruisers, Leeds, AL) today. The 8274 will be going on the bumper winch which will require some finagling to get it to fit. I expect I'll be cutting the grill instead of...

The Black Rock Playa. Largest Dry lake in the US. Crazy. Came in from the NE and drove about 25 minutes at 50 mph on it. it rained here last thurday. You are supposed to stay off the playa when it’s wet but I had dust and it seemed good to...

Does your oil have a fuel smell to it? That is an indication the diaphragm has failed and fuel is leaking into the oil. From your description I bet it's the fuel pump. I've had mechanical fuel pumps fail like this, without warning. I also...

Made my way over the Jarbidge Mountains to Mountain City then south out of the mountains I’ve been on some pavement, some 60 mph gravel, some rough ass single track. It’s been a fantastic variety. I’ve set up shop at the northern point on this...

Some more of the Moss Wash trail

Fixed a power steering leak and went for a ride in Bankhead Forest. Old road has been around a long time, some places it is 6 feet or more deep. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love a ride through the forest, it is truly medicine for my soul.

The road south from my fuel stop to the Jarbidge Mountains was 65 mph gravel. Dropping into the Jarbrige River valley The aspen and cottonwoods are showing out Jarbidge did not disappoint. I dropped cash everywhere that was open just...

Big day. Jared dropped me a pin for a great site and it was a little off and i ended up on a pretty wicked 2 track. I woke up this morning and finished it off. It was as a handful. Brought me out at Silver City I made it out to civilization...
