Creeped outside the new Paramount in Homewood

Seen in Valley. Really nice, stock, triple locked 80.

Going up for a WoolWax treatment

We have power steering 🤓 These kits are absolute no brainers for later model 40s with the key on the column.

There's not much better to eat than fresh caught Red Snapper!

That Trigger😋

While at the yacht club I noticed a 100 which belongs to the son of a coworker. I had not seen it in a few years. The kid has done a good job building it and he wheels it. Love the decal.

My son is 18 today. Blows my mind . Of course he wanted to skip school yesterday to fish. It paid off and we will eat good tonight.

Up off the Blue Ridge Parkway in WNC.

OK. Back from port with 2 beautiful Saudi 80s. The rear flip kit arrived. The speedometer cable arrived. Tomorrow it gets a City Racer E PS kit. Back on it for the final push.

Great test run. All is good. Peppy fella.

Skid plate did its job. More than robust enough for this kind of abuse. It was easy to whack it a few times in key places to straighten it out.

I was just though Jackson, Tetons and Wind River back in April of this year. Still had between 4-6' of snow on the ground in a lot of places in the higher elevations. It was Beautiful. I saw that museum but did not have time to stop, would...

I second this. I love when a good story is out there with these trips. This is something I would like to focus on myself. Also thank you for bringing Wyoming back in to perspective for me. I lived in Laramie for a while and forgot a lot of the...

Thank you. A trip in an FJ40 is much more tiresome than a modern 4x4 in my opinion. Anything over 150-200 miles in a day is pretty tough. I think the sweet spot for a road trip would be 100 miles per day with a stop or two. I’ll say this…the...

Cleans up nice. I’ll get it on the lift this week to straighten out that skid plate.

Now Inigo has officially been broken in… Took him up to the Kennebec notch and some side trails. Lovely scratches along both sides from bushes, a nice scratch on the rear bumper, and a huge deflection of the skid plate. So. Much. Fun. Very...

Too late 😂. Here’s the B2’s I get from Am@zon

Time for......

Awesome trip, and awesome storytelling. What kind of distances do you average each day in an FJ40? I would suspect slightly less than a typical day in a modern 4x4?

From here, it was a cannonball run to find the next place to stay for the night. We left Atlantic City in the rain and headed south. We were hoping to find a spot to camp in the totally unknown (at least to us) Granite Mountains, but the rain...

We found Atlantic City in a light rain and parked by a place called The Atlantic City Mercantile. Robert Redford stated in The Outlaw Trail, "There is only one hub of activity in Atlantic City. It is the Mercantile, and combination bar and...

The next morning, it was time to get on the road and back to dirt. So I'd read about a couple of cool ghost towns just on the south end of the Winds and Popo Agie. Atlantic City was one of these, and we really wanted to check it out. Sure...

From Dubois we headed to Lander. This was an interesting drive, with the look of a mix of Utah desert and Colorado mountains. Once in Lander, we needed to get our bearings on what to do next. I wanted to head west into the Popo Agie Wilderness...
