Several places - Barnes 4wd, Ruff Stuff Specialties, Marlin Crawler to name a few.

Test fitting the dash trim. Stuff is loosely in place and is lining up decently. I think painting the metal part of the dash blue was the correct choice.

Looks like you’re taking in the right considerations to make this work and be strong so the spare does not exit the back of the truck while in motion. Good stuff. Also your new shop is huge. And epic. That is all. :)

I thought about what you said when I decided to use that spare tire carrier. When I read your comment this morning, I said to myself that it was probably best that I mountains sucker on the rear bumper. By the way, I appreciate your input and...

WWII ammo can. Nice touch with the tool boxes.

I would love to do tubes for the bash-ability but I don’t have a bender and this is kinda free. And plus bodywork practice is fun :) If these get crumpled, then I’ll find a way to upgrade later.

Few pics, rest in the build thread on hardcore. That’s just one side, but by fall crawl I think the tires will have a bit more room :)

I think the tires will clear now :) Still need to massage fitment, high build primer and paint but so far I’m liking it. I also think I’m going to rebuild the inner fender and paint it body color, you see too much engine bay from the side. Last...

Here we go…….

A friend came by today and gave me a brand new pair of OEM Toyota tailgate latches. I'm happy about that score. I'll figure out a way to make them work.

I finally got some time to start taking what I need off that 80 series. We pulled the complete front axle off and it is indeed what I was hoping for : fitted with electric lockers ! PERFECT !!!!!🥳 As you can see, it is very dirty. I will...

I was about to say the same thing. Grounds can change over time and cause all sorts of fun. Pull them, clean them. Also if your pulling plug wires and some make a difference and some don’t, that seems to point to electrical along with the other...

The FJ60 parking brake lever is installed and it is a way better product than the Lokar handle that I was previously using. The 60 has way more leverage and the locking mechanism has tighter teeth, both allowing me to lock the brakes a little...

Be great to see everyone again!

I remember wheeling with you good times

What about kids? $130 for adults, same for kids? Discount for kids under certain age?

I was just tweaking out trying to sign up!

Sometimes the sun shines on you, you have lived immense troubles of a kind we are not familiar with, cruiser karma saw you working so hard to reproduce one the cruiserverse sent you one. Congrats, you have earned it.

Got the J hooks mounted for the tailgate.

I wish i'd known about those brand new cabs 🤔 but hey.... live and learn. Here are the pics of the back panel and doors

Last ones. Mazda wagon had the rotary and 4 speed. Supra turbo was spicy.

Weather was perfect so great turnout. Both the orange and green 69’s were legit z28’s, green was an unmolested 52k mile survivor

More. The wagon had a 390, I want it and would drive it everyday. Bandit TA was epic.

Cars and coffee this morning. Was one other -40 so I can post this here :)

gotta love those first fish
