On a whim I headed down south New Mexico to explore that part of the state that I often neglect. The Enchanted Rockies Trail system is a large network of trails connected to make one beautiful loop around our state, and it starts way down south...
Great event! Aaron, the co-owner of the coffee shop is a Toyota guy. He has a 1st Gen Taco he's working on. Despite having business responsibilities, he and his wife joined us for Toyota talk. Great folks!
Well, that motorcycle snowball keeps rolling and getting bigger. I love the Beamer GS, but i sure missed having a cruiser. Found a great deal on one that was the perfect color and in awesome shape so I had to have it.
On my two shake down runs in Billy I noticed the camper caused a lot of wind noise. Mostly at the back window. I started looking at options, everything from some kind of deflector on the camper, to a roof rack with a deflector.

Toyota's next generation of turbos. Toyota designed this pair of turbos to work in series. Only one turbo spools between idle and about 3500rpm. Then, butterfly valves open in both the hot and cold side tubing of the second turbo allowing it to...
Just one more comment on the radiator cap thread. Ali - thanks for sharing this! Radiator caps are generally out of sight and out of mind, but as with other maintenance items - it's cheap insurance. My 80 got a new cap with a new radiator a...

Inside a 5vz-fe supercharger
These superchargers are discussed from time to time amongst club members. Figured I would share my experiences. Magnuson/Eaton made these superchargers for Toyota. This is fortunate because rebuild kits and parts...
And you're still on the original radiator cap?! ;) As a 1FZ-FE owner, you should know better than to risk overheating for something so simple. I had to learn it the hard way with my 80.:bang:
Dear HDC Club Members,
I am planning to go to Ouray in late July and do some trail runs around the Ouray area with my wife, Liz and my daughter Amanda and her boyfriend Daniel. We plan to arrive via my 2016 Land Cruiser pulling our Micro Minnie...
Took the rig on a quick trip to the sierras to do some climbing/skiing before the last of the snow melted out. She drives so well I should really take it out more. I've been using it for work to get me to/from the forests for my timber surveys...

I rolled my triple locked & built 1996 late last year. I bought this thinking I would use the body and then maybe do...
The older a vehicle gets the more likely hydraulic seals will give out. If I can find good replacement parts, I install them. If it's a mystery metal part from a mystery manufacturer, I do not bother with the junk. If they expect me to give up...
