The Rockies vs The City

Took the ‘04 LX470 out towards Stampede Pass in WA. Easy trail with tons of beauty…

Just got some Wildpeak AT4W’s in 35x12.50xR18, 4.88 regear, Eaton front locker, CSF radiator, and some beans and rice because I’m broke now.

Stoney Pass up to Kite Lake outside of Silverton CO. Kite Lake would be a really cool spot to camp. With @roma042987

Went up to Big Bear on Saturday. Wanted to hit a slightly more challenging trail like Devils Hole but cousin had other plans. Still a great time.

The trip ended up being about 3800 miles all together over 17 days and we were averaging a hand calculated 14mpg across the trip. Gas on average was about $3.50/gal so yes about $1K in gas is correct. Cant put a price tag on a good old...

New ujoints in the driveshafts, replaced output shaft seal on the transmission (leaking trans fluid out of the transfer case/trans mating surface), and new rear brakes and rotors.

good luck trying to keep the temperature controlled with those sliding doors! I have them on both ends of my pole barn and they are horrible. Look at roll up. If you have a good way to sea them up please let me know! Bobmo

Just randomly found this thread. Here is mine last week in Colorado. Edit to add one more..

Re-assembly underway. I really need to be focusing on getting it running, but all these shiny restored and new parts have me distracted. I did manage to mount the brake booster/master cylinder and clutch master to the firewall so there's that...

That’s awesome history to have. No offense intended, the font on your vin plate just looked odd to me. None of my cruisers have had that font. I also have a 1982 Colombian FJ43.

At work with the trailer for some free firewood

After having a multitude of services performed (oil change, new starter, alternator rebuilt, tires rotated, alignment, grease fittings all done etc.) we headed out to the Tatacoa Desert, a little over 350 miles round trip from Bogota. With...

Boys Discovered the Built in Bathroom Took it on a Trip to Traverse City

Found this for $350 - Son of my Fathers Lifelong Friend. I think it was more of a Project than he Anticipated. I think the pictures answer a lot of Questions. Very Fun & Rewarding Project, but taking way more Hours than I anticipated. Had...

X2 on the above comments. I bought one about six months ago to carry in the Land Cruiser when trail riding. There are a lot of trees in Arkansas where we trail ride and blocked trails are common. Love the size and how quiet it is.

I have the Everest model and I love it with some tweaks of course!

Some nutserts, 1/2” longer bolts… And I cleaned it. For the first time… ever :lol:

Working our way home from an amazing trip up to northern British Columbia.

After a long summer for my 99 LC, I figured it deserved a short photo dump lol. We drove from DFW to close to Monterrey, MX where it spent the next 6 weeks with my family. Door-door, was just shy of 1800 miles. My wife/daughter used the LC in...

FWIW: Being that I run 32" tires and upgraded my 3rd members to 3.70 gears, my speedometer was obviously off. So after installing the new 3rds, I did a few test runs using GPS speeds vs the OEM speedometer. I took the GPS speed and divided by...

Got the hard top back on. Had a hitch receiver cut into the factory rear bumper with some inner channel extra plating, along with a 7pin trailer harness and Anderson connector. The big plus for the hard top was getting shoulder belts installed...

I've driven past this 40 for a few years and one day on a furniture delivery, My son and I decided to stop and ask about it. It was definitely off the beaten path but seen from the road. Turns out it lived most of it's life in Vail, Colorado...

Rain? Send some our way, these fires are handing us our asses. Got the T case sealed up and reinstalled. Between the transmission jack and the 1 1/4” pipe to hold the transfer gear and spacer in place it slid right on. Putting the parking...
