    What gives with the HDJ81 JDM scaremongering?

    For all my belly aching about what I referred to as scaremongering (hyperbole, I know) about owning an HDJ81, I’ll admit I did take heed. I had a chance to buy a really nice example, and after a ton of back-and-forth in my mind, I walked away. I simply wasn’t in a place to make the truck my...

    Am I correct in observing that this truck was bid up to $29,000 on eBay? If so…just shy of your reserve!

    Proffitt's Stage 3 Restoration Experiences & Cost?

    Anyone out there done a Stage 3 Restoration with Proffitt's on a 60 series? If so, what did you do and what was the total cost? I know that the total cost for a Stage 3 depends on the condition of the donor vehicle, but just curious to hear any anecdotes on from folks who have had this level of...

    Knuckle rebuild and question already.

    Rather than start a new thread to ask my question, I thought I'd tack it on this one: What are the consequences of deferring a knuckle rebuild? I've seen a lot of 60s with knuckles that look pretty gunk'd up, and folks just keep driving on them. The consequences for a full-time 4WD truck like...

    For Sale 1988 FJ62 (Low Miles)

    Just searched some more, and this truck was sold @ Barrett Jackson in March 2021 for $77,000. At that point it had just over 63,000 miles on it.

    For Sale  1988 FJ62 (Low Miles)

    Not my listing, just passing along: LINK. It's apparently all original and 65,000 miles. They are asking $119,500. I think that's insane, but maybe there is someone on MUD with money to burn? Hilariously, it was listed for more, they just dropped the price to the current level.
