working on this myself. It started as adding efi with an in tank pump. Had to lift oem passenger seat. Hard part is getting passenger seat low enough and not still winding up with driver seat too high in order to make them level. Started with...

I started the suspension update weeks ago… and haven’t returned. I’ll get the rear done soon. Anyway, the front end got SkyJacker 2.5’s, rear is getting the same, but they are still in the garage. Buuut, it was time to throw new wheels and...

It has been quite a while since I have offered up any updates to the post, so today is the day! I went with Skyjacker 2.5 inch front and rear springs with their BlackMax shocks, and some hand-me-down Performance Accessories shackles that I got...

At the camping spot. The road is marked 9012R. You go all the way in and then all the way to the right (west). Look for the CSC banner. See you all soon.

While I had the welder out, I go these small blocks added to the motor mounts. I learned this lesson the hard way on my LX when I realized I could not torque the motor mounts by myself. The issue is that being a loose bolt and nut, You need a...

The links, cut, reamed, drilled, test fitted, and ready to weld.

I was quite happy to see this hanging on the rear end rather than sitting on some saw horses in my back yard. The fit was excellent and all clearance checks passed with flying colors. Still a few too many parts waiting. Lastly, do you get...

Hey Cruiserheads! Concerned father reaching out from Arizona here. I have two daughters who live in the east Norfolk/Virginia Beach area. Their vehicles were partially submerged in recent flooding, and looking for suggestions on where to bring a...

Seat backs from a three-piece bench seat in an FJ40. I believe they are from a 1972, but not 100% certain. 2x 8 inch center-center headrests are included. One headrest is intact and in decent shape, the other has some cracks in the vinyl as...

Rear tire carrier from a 1972 FJ40 for sale. A light tan in color. Minor surface rusting, and one of the three lug mounts is missing on the tire plate. The door clasp and hinges are intact and functioning appropriately. No visible dents, but...

I have a pair of 4x4 labs 3rd row seat cargo racks that fit the 80 series . I went with a drawer system instead so these have been on the shelf in my garage . I looked them up and they are currently running $725 for the set . The price must have...

Added free hood vents. Seemed to help a/c performance a bit. I have no overheating issues. But they look cool imo. Lol

Trail day on October 4th. We will be traveling a similar route as last year, however the first section will change to avoid using interstate 40. Starting at Lake Mary Road, heading over Anderson Mesa past Marshall Lake and along the back side of...

My well trained daughter saw this one and sent it to me probably down town in the dirty-T. License plate says "KURUZA"

Yes, the Taco is an integral part of my life and I would no sooner part with it than to give up my FJ40@! Gotta have something with air conditioning when you live in Arizona 🥵...

Lets have a meeting this Friday the 5th at the shop again. I have been thinking about new locations because I will be moving my shop to Cottonwood soon. Also, we are planning another trail day in October. It will be a loop around the peaks...

I should be able to make it on Friday. It is a “First Friday,” known for art appreciation in Flagstaff. Looking forward to some Cruiser art at Kelly’s shop!

If you follow any of my builds, you know I am no stranger to Harbor Freight. There has long been a stigma surrounding Harbor Freight tools and for a long time it was well deserved. I always used them for the single use or modified for a...

Going to Flagstaff this weekend and I plan on scouting camping spots along 231. I will post up what I find. Going to run it on 9/6 or 9/7.

Morning jobs All the fixed pins were non grease so we have new ones and new bushings New pinion seals and flanges and nuts/bolts New double seal speedo housing New parking brakes New chassis to axle hoses

Similar to the above experiences; I “bought” the truck at the bank… they closed at the lien and the seller got the balance. Also, MVD work can be done remotely nowadays, no notary needed, but the bank would have one anyway. If it is an...

So for my classic Land Cruisers podcast that I have I created a calendar featuring some of the old Land Cruisers from the guests that I have had on. They are ready now and I am frequently in the valley for my son's hockey games if you would want...

Rear bumper parts and tow hooks from a 1997 40th Land Cruiser. Free in Flagstaff. Pretty OK condition… not perfect. (GONE 8/30/25)

Hey folks, Just thought I'd share my experience running skinny tyres on my 1995 80 Series Landcruiser. I know there's already too much garbage on the internet about this debate - so I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. Just adding...

Barely an inch, this entire monsoon season, and less than 0.10” in the last month here in Flagstaff. Feels like mid June in the forests.
