I know this isn't going to help with this specific situation, but really, drop usaa. I had them for insurance for over a decade and when a teen driver hit my parked truck they wrote it up as my fault like 3 times. I wasn't even in the vehicle...

Yaaaaaa who did that?

I can relate to your buddies situation. I'd be compelled to get it fixed or replace the frame even if its irrational. But I'd also consider this, he's getting ready to retire, guessing in his 60's. If he's lucky has 20ish years left of...

most of the time I'd agree with that but the body is not super rusty - he bought it new and has meticulously maintained it. Runs like new. I can see how you would not want it hogging up a bay though - does not make good business sense. He...

Yes frame swaps are better, but that's not always an option for people. I think its agreed that frame repair parts aren't the end all be all solution. But for a guy who doesn't have the means to do a complete drivetrain/body swap, they are the...

Hi, I’m an FJ40 owner located in northern Virginia. I recently inherited a 77 FJ40 and previously owned a 1969 FJ40. I’m looking for information on how to join the Capitol Landcruiser Club. Thanks!

I've been told, you have to own a land cruiser. But i don't think they enforce that rule too much. First Wednesday of every month is the meeting at killroys at 7pm in springfield, you can come out and meet the regulars, we'll probably be...

I've also used ORI for wheels and alignment, looking in there shop it seems like they got their stuff together and they've always treated me good. Right off 7 close to 81.

Post pics, I'm in between Winchester and Chantilly. Show me location and try to give a good couple pics

And did a little upgrade on the M101A2…😉🦀

Andrew got to work on the Coastal Offroad bumper on his 4Runner, but the regulator on the gas bottle had a leak and lost a bunch of gas and ran out. Nice beads to start though! Since that was done for the weekend, got to mock up the bumper on...

I finally got my 40 back on the road after three years. OTRAMM fixed my brake booster and rear brake shoe separation issues. I fixed the hazard lights, marker light and got the blower motor working. It passed VA inspection and is ready to rock n...

That part of the trail has had a gate on it for almost 20 years or so. people winched it open and other stupid things. To say the least, the land owners were not happy. Last time I was up there before the gate went up, we were met with a land...

Jake thanks for sending this over

Fall Crawl Mates, As many of you know, my friend Frank and I are heading north for the Fall Crawl. An issue with the Shoe Creek Trail made us change our route. I watched what seemed like endless videos about this trail and discovered that, for...

I think it's a cool idea, i would recommend reaching out to this group as well: https://vaoffroad.org/ They are a non-profit in VA that do a lot of trail clean ups, group organization, and they seem to have a lot of insight and appreciation of...

Its all in good fun @JakeisbadatThis but the toyota should be at the toyota events lol. Trailer it down ill help you fix it!

Yeah i edited my response, i don't want people to see me bringing a ranger and thinking, "Oh so just show up with whatever!" I'm active with the club, i do meet the requirements for membership. And the club is actively treating me correctly by...

People should be made aware that UTV's and side-by-sides that have 4-wheel drive are not included in Fall Crawl. our TLCA liaison should check this, but I'm fairly certain that they are also NOT COVERED BY THE TLCA EVENT INSURANCE.

Capital Land Cruiser Mates, How many slots are still open for Fall Crawl, and has the PayPal issue been fixed? Oh, and I know it’s only Wednesday, but if you’re having a beer today, have one for Dolly. 🍻 We lost a true Appalachian legend...

Put in some more work on FZJ80, ended up using only a section of the core support I got from @matzell turns out that the core support in the truck is completely rust free so just swapped the bad section for the good. Still need to pull the frame...

that's the old verbiage, this is the updated version from May 2025: "1. Own a Toyota Land Cruiser, or any Toyota or Lexus vehicle with 4-wheel drive." you better keep throwing wrenches at that 70-series. :)

I keep showing up with a ford ranger and they haven't booted me out yet! EDIT: I do own a land cruiser, its just in an extremely sorry state and can't drive over 25mph at the moment! I don't want my response to be seen as, "Yeah just bring a...
