The third mount on the steering rack does unbolt, worst case the tabs that mount it to the rack body would need to be trimmed, then the diff actuator should clear. Since the Tundra makes do with two mounts, perhaps the 200 can, too. The front...

Whew, what an adventure that was! We had 12 trucks in total including 2 on our end. My 80 and finally my FJ60 that has been an ongoing 5 year project. In a sense, for us, this was as much a story of a trip as it was a truck trying to get the 60...

Glad you could make it! This was one of the best trips yet. Frank

Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply. Happy trails.

Does that center cap fit the 200 Series Cruiser? I'm hoping to install a set of these Tundra rims on my future rig. I think it's a really nice wheel.

Your call. I run only OEM filters on my vehicles. When I bought my '09 Challenger at 15,000 miles it had a K&N oil filter on it. Before I took the car home I racked it and spun that off and put a Mopar SRT filter on it. The oil was fresh M1 0-40...

Thanks for a great time, guys. I appreciate y'all including me. I hope to see you all again on another trip. -Russ

Okay. I'll drive up as soon as I can. I'll see y'all up there.

I'm in the Vons lot, blue 80 Series with a roof rack and 2 small gas cans. I have my radio with me on channel 22. Walking into Vons now.

I'll be at Vons momentarily. I'm in a blue 80 Series. What about you? Where in the lot are you?

I'm twenty minutes away

Did y'all make your lunch stop yet? I'm in Lone Pine now, just checking on the group. If you already finished lunch, could someone share your current location? Thanks.

Let the Tetris begin!

Just an FYI, no campfires. Y'all probably knew that already.

Cool, I sent you my number. We should be there around then but sometimes tiny bladders in the kids and my 60 mean more stops... you know how it goes. I will let you know if we get overly delayed. Frank

Sounds good. I'll plan to meet up with you guys at the Vons. I'll plan to be there by 2:30. Thanks again.

Typically, we head to the Vons on the north side of town to shop and get gas. It's a big parking lot so can handle a group and has everything in one spot. I would say either meet at the Vons or at the air down spot at the beginning of the...

Hey y'all. I am coming from Ventura, and I'll plan to be in Bishop by 2:30. Do we have a meeting spot? This gas station is about the last stop before we turn off to head out of town, and it has the best gas prices in town, clean bathrooms, etc...

Hi, Frank. Thanks for asking. I'm coming solo. I appreciate being included. Please let me know what I can bring to contribute - meat, drinks, etc. I'm happy to pitch in. I'll admit I'm no field chef, though.

Friends, is anyone bringing a friends with them that are not on the attendee list? We'd like to make sure we bring enough meat for the BBQ night. Frank

That's some impressive electrical and electronic diagnostic skills. Thanks for sharing that, and taking the time to add photos. That's very kind of you.

Just finished fixing a weird 4LO/4HI actuator issue and wanted to share some of my findings. Regarding the microswitch - at least in our LC200 2008, it's not needed, even though the original did have it. Looking at the wiring diagram for this, I...

How did you do the black inset portions, and the center bore? Those look amazing.

Two More wheel pictures. I refinished the hub center caps by sand blasting with glass bead to a clean plastic and using Dupli-color silver wheel paint with a 2K clear gloss. The yellow/gold highlights is a high quality pin striping paint.
