When you have to go to work, and the wives decide to go deer hunting in your rig! Montana wheeling in the 70's

Haha. And now U-Haul won't rent you anything bigger than a 4x8 trailer, 'cause its unsafe!!!

That's a great place to drive around. The entire Kaibab is beautiful!!!

Boy child and his fiancé are excited about their new FJ40. Have been driving it around, and having a great time. When he was little, I taught him that tops come off May 1st, and go back on Oct 1st. He took it to heart!! Pretty good looking, and he already swapped the grill for the one I gave...

On my recent FJ40 overhaul and return to service, I had to drain, rinse, and flush the first tank 3 times to get it totally clean. It has a approx. 30-35 gal aux tank in the rear, between the frame rails, and I didn't even attempt that one. Trying to talk my son into removing that, and running...

Bone stock 1972, wheeling in California foothills Beach racing in Kailua, Hawaii It wasn't all sand in Hawaii - Kaena Point Oahu Forgot how much damage a Ford truck does to gas cans. Thought I was in a pinto!!! When roll cages were also boat racks - Idaho

Just replaced the broken rear window on my 1970 FJ40. The seal looked good, and I wiped it down with some silicone spray. My local glass shop said it was in great shape and was no problem to re-use them if they aren't cracked.

Well crap, so much for my money-making flip!! The oldest son wanted it for a wedding present for his wife, and she loved it. Gave it to them for actual dollars in it, and labor was a gift!!! Not bad FJ40 for eleven grand, but HE can fix the headlights!!!! No greater love than a Dad for his...

I went to the local ranch store, like CAL or Tractor Supply, and bought a roll of 1/4" thick in 40"x96" for $80. They use in truck bed, or kennels and stalls. It was exact between my fenders.

I was at my local shop and they had 3 older catalogues with pattern numbers. They had tons of old patterns, and said they could look up any of them with the number.

Normal tires, normal driving - no need. I have seen two used with huge mud tires to keep centered, but still don't think they are necessary most times

Just had a new rear cut and installed for my '70 FJ40 for $240. The ones in catalogs or online vary from $175-275 for fronts, but most won't ship. Local pickup only. I would expect good shops will do it for less than $300 all in

I wish I could tell you I have great equipment, but I don't. Entry level only. I used a $25 Harbor Freight purple gun, and my undersized carpenter air compressor. I add an extra 11 gallon receiver tank to boost capacity, so I don't have to wait in between passes. The PPG Essentials acrylic...

Putting it back together now. Cars and Coffee in the morning!!!
