I have a 76 I’m considering letting go. Dune Beige. Same one in my Avatar / Profile Pic. Pretty clean and strong. Reach out to me privately and we can discuss.

I liked Will.

Maybe this will get everyone's attention. I just picked up this 1976 FJ40 off a buddy of mine. I once owned a 1979 FJ40 in high school and have been wanting another for 30 years.

Congrats, Murf. I appreciate everything you did for me and my 80. Good luck in your new role.

My wife and I moved across the river to The Couv over the last ten days. Fortunately, all of our long-term possessions were allowed to ship from Arizona, so we've been unpacking. I can't stand to unpack another box of malarkey I should have left behind. But, all my tools are now here and I'm...

I’d be down for some camping. I am bored to tears.

Me and @Arizona Jeff pause at Soldier Camp this past summer, on the way to Cane Spring. Killer Bees!!!!

The paper maps are good and I think you should always have them in the truck anyway. @Arizona Jeff and I have both successfully used the Forest Maps app in and around Four Peaks, Tonto, etc. Different subscription levels and the free one is pretty good. Jerome was a good pit stop running the...

I moved to Portland recently. There are a total of 4 80s in my immediate hood (within 5 min walk) and a 60. They are all over the place up here and I’ve seen some strange models parked right downtown. (See the photo of a 3.0 Turbo SX I saw two weeks ago.) FWIW, I am “stalking” a white, locked...

Good thoughts. But for clarification, I bought my 80 in May 2018 for $4k.

All great options, none very technical, and you can’t go wrong with any of the ideas above. Quite a bit of washboard on road to Crown King and Schnebly Hill Road. If you can air down / air up, your life will be better. Also, it will likely get cool at night in the Bradshaws and up towards Flag -...

check out @Arizona Jeff - he's rocking that setup. and can answer your questions.

I have a 95FZJ80 I bought for $4,000 that had 215,000 miles on the odometer and it was in running condition. I've spent plenty of time and money on a suspension rebuild, engine rebuild, and things like pinion gears, air lockers, radiators, starters, alternators, etc., etc. No cracked dash and...

I’m having similar problems with similar equipment on my 95 FZJ80. I’ve researched Mud archives on the subject, as suggested in this thread, and I’ve narrowed it down (I think) to my headlight switch and probably have a bad relay. In the meantime, get a Noco Genius battery maintainer. It works...
