After he left I took off for Stoney Pass. This is the headwaters of the Rio Grande and it crossed and follows the river for about 35 miles to pavement I passed another Cruiser group that was fishing then another fishing another spot The lake...

There was a dead 100 and a dead 200 on top We took California over to the main road and Jonathan and the 80 bailed

Today. Mineral Creek to Poughkeepsie

As this is turning into a build thread, I renamed the thread title... The more I learn about this truck, I think we're going to say its a US truck that was on extended vacation in South America. As for the name... my kids have come up with one...

Very cool. I don't know if I'd worry about the carb cooling fan. They were mostly a band aid due to all the other emissions nonsense from that era. If you get the rest of the truck dialed in, (fuel and ignition related) you probably won't...

Cleaned up the ignition switch

Russ, I'd be interested in one of those tools when you're ready to sell. Thanks!

I received these today. These work with the Yazaki ( and probably others) CN 250 (6.3mm) tang style terminals. I am going to keep 2 of these and sell the other 3.

It is. Select Crawl control and then the turning Brake switch. I have played with it before just for fun but this was the first time I've ever really needed/used it. I'm not kidding when I say the 4 door Jeep in front of me would do 3-4-5...

More pics of Black Bear

We had big plans to hit the road by 7 but it ended up being 9:00 which I knew would spell trouble for Black Bear. We got to the one way part and there was a massive traffic jam of Heeps and a few Broncos. Seems the guy in front was scared of...

All buttoned up - ended up welding the ball-joint since there was already a v-band for the 2.5" downpipe I had prior. Nice and tidy, and now it's only the header gasket and the v-band for the whole exhaust...a nice cleanup from all the possible...

A recent update from @greenEFSI had me thinking about my little ones and my cruisers. I have hundreds of photos of my kids and I enjoying cruisers, but for some reason this one hit me the other day. This is from maybe 2005 or 2006, I'd have to...

Lot of work over the past few weeks! Identified all the loose wires on the driver-side of the engine-bay harness. It was a rats-nest in there, and I needed to find out which wires were used for the carb cooling fan (luckally the plug was still...

We did the Alpine Loop in 6 hours. We pulled out at 3 pm. I got on 550 and called Red and she told me she needed a couple more hours to finish her work so I decided to hit a short trail to Silver Basin @woody told me about yesterday. Short and...

The cutting brake feature on a 200 is legit and I made some Jeep guys eyes explode with it today

From the pass down we ran into a bunch of Cruisers coming up and had to wait about 30 minutes. *gripe hat on* If you venture onto a one-way section of trail with 15* vehicles, run it tight. Don't have 300 yard gaps. *hat off* We jumped...

Lake City was a cool town. We got there about noon but no one wanted to stop so we rolled into Engineer. Traffic picked up some but it was not bad until we hit the pass

We got going and started on Cinnamon Pass. We were early and there was no trail traffic to speak of. Beautiful trail. Feels like the Scottish highlands a bit on the west side.

I’m usually in the 80s section, but figured I’d hop over here for once. I wouldn’t even have a Land Cruiser if it weren’t for my dad—he bought his ‘79 brand new and daily drove it everyday until the mid-2010s. Growing up, I remember riding...

I hooked it south into Governors Basin with a side track through Sidney Basin clockwise. I had to use the magic Crawl on a couple of spots on that optional loop. Recommend. I made it almost to the furthest mine and the bottom fell out of...

After I got out I hooked a left and went to the top of Yankee Boy Basin. Plenty of traffic but it thinned out a ton once the trail got hard at the top

Toyota part number for the LX integral hitch receiver torx head bolts is: 90148-12003 These will fit the built-in receiver crossmember in the face of the rear bumper, not the aftermarket style hitch that bolts on below the frame.

It was quite the saga tracking one of these down, much different beast than a cruiser. These were work trucks that were typically beat hard and put away wet. The ones that are left are either rusty, going for outrageous money, or both. I lost...
