Steve sent update on Bonnie this morning. Still suck at posting videos but she was cruising down highway at 70 barely making a sweat. Hopefully bringing her home in two weeks.

I have had a string of poor luck with distributor hold down clamps, all my own doing. I lost my first 2f to oil starvation because I didn't tighten up that bolt and it popped out when I hit a bump in the road. Had a boat motor that I thought...

I had a SBC with an aluminum intake. The distributor wouldn’t hold timing and slip off every so often. I’m sure part of it was that I was afraid to strip the threads for the hold down clamp. Tried a variety of clamps, but ultimately I carried a...

It is a good feeling but that said, this was freeway driving to go get some take out so it could have been a sh*& show if something major happned. There was still a bit of traffic from the friday afternoon commute going on too. Kept her in the...

Confidence is the keyword. It is that first few rides that keep blood pressure up and nerves on edge. Especially when you have been through that sinking feeling when something craps out any distance from the “end goal” When restoring old...

I have mainly concentrated on outdoor projects given the relatively good weather lately but I have tweaked a few things on the 2F since bringing it home. Cam removed the idler pulley on the driver's side as it was pretty much extraneous after...

It was super nice here yesterday and I couldn’t believe I have only driven the 55 to the end of the block and back three or four times since ownership. I really don’t know anything about how it handles the open road, but I know I have never made...

I need to go see which style I have, I am not sure.

Glad you you guys stayed safe and it looks like the damage isn’t terrible. It could have been much worse!

Here ya go. Michelin XMLs. 😵‍💫 😄 Mark...

Since Relic Run Musturd has been kinda neglected.. the temporary rear SOA sagged enough so that pinion pointed up enough for the U-joints to bind on acceleration due to the axle wrap. A friend needed a loaner car this week so got it in the shop...

I have never disliked any Michelin tires I have had, currently running Defenders on the Sequoia and AT2's on the Tundra. I just wish they made a more offroad oriented version that looked the part.

The goal is the way it would roll off a show room today but keeping its appearance like it rolled off in 76.

Here is a couple of our 71 FJ 55 have it running and driving very well! Rebuilt the carb while my wife cooked dinner - It has the wacky 1969 carb that has been interesting Off for full rust repair and paint in a couple weeks Still have new...

traded my wagon for a Quartermaster few months ago.....

got my new wheels and tires installed! 4runner 40th anniversary wheels with 285/70R17 Cooper Discoverers and the spare tire fit!

I use this one from this seller, had it since 2024 and it is still working. I have even programmed some key fobs with it...

Super cool to find one in that kind of condition! Excited to see the build.

Couldn’t help but stop on the way thru and put it back on the lot it was sold new from 50 years ago. That’ll be the closest I ever come to drive a brand new Land Cruiser off of the lot.

Happy Bday 🎂 🥳

Not too bad…

I was going to suggest a full send with the air hammer, but sounds like you got it. The air hammer is very underrated tool :hillbilly:

Believe me, if you ever witnessed any of my thought processes, you would not feel dumb!

Reynolds Advance Materials/Smooth-On. Can't recall exactly which product at the moment, it's written down in a file. I'm dubious on 3D prints holding up for this application but willing to be proven wrong. Depending on the layers and print...
