nathan and i keep in touch, and mustard is doing just fine.

Spotted in Mt. Rose parking lot last weekend. Rare to see museum quality Land Cruiser getting used for its intended purpose.

First drive of the season Saturday!

You mentioned your lower hose looks good and the leak appears to be at the bottom of the radiator. I can’t tell if your rad is OE. Look underneath and see if you can see a drain tube (petcock). While it’s cool see if that tube is loose. 2gal and...

It bears repeating: "Buy the vehicle, not the story."

Back in the day airlines tried to keep the planes in the air, they break more often when they just sit on the ground. So your 50 year old rig has a hick-up; look at all the brand new crap that's recalled while on the lot. Did you see the...

Damn, Son! You need to get on the horn and call the sorry sumbitch who sold it to you and tell him WTF Dude! I know I ain't getting my money back, but least you can do is help me figure this clusterfuck out! Sheesh.

I’ve got my fingers crossed it will be alright but I could definitely see the speedo cable change happening

Wandering steering requires a wee bit more than shocks. Start with the basics.

I had the same problem with my 78 - needle was laying at the bottom of the housing when I bought it. Repaired it, installed and took it for test drive - didn't get a quarter mile before the speedo cable went wild and the needle went to the other...

Happy Earth day every one. Keep the earth clean by keeping our vintage cruisers going instead of buying new cars!

But..But…But……🤣🤣🤣

Yup, culprit.

LM@O….It’s not my fault, I was just minding my own business, hangen’ on MUD, when outa nowhere this event spontaneously combusted…😳

I am not sure how definitive those specs are, but they look out. I might as well clean up all my connections:

But there were plenty of times she didn't. We got there (and home), the hard way... (See what I did there???)

Hmmmm - someone might oughta contact Browns Stadium - this event seems to be coming under the Multiplier Effect.

Hope it warms up a bit. It’s 40f right now. Great to be in Ohio. I’m all in for a party and there’s a rumor that the newest Land Cruiser in Lexus flavor could be lurking and available for a look. I think it should be the first in Ohio. @Jdc1...

I once heard that “A chicken is the wisest of all animals, it doesn’t cackle until the egg is laid”. I’m going to pull over into the caution lane and hold off on the victory dance until this egg is laid. Apparently It’s flying trampoline...

I'll bring some celebratory Cigars 🥂. This event might be epic enough for a page or few of an upcoming Toyota Trails mag.

Better yet, as I found out the hard way in my previously pristine 4R, park a distance away when a storm is rolling in so a shopping cart can gain an extreme amount of speed before taking out your door. The design of a shopping cart speaks "FU" to...

FWIW I run the lower setup with a double cardan driveshaft.

Update on issue. It’s amazing how much can be not right and these trucks still run, tractors right? So, after getting power to the cutoff solenoid and realizing the distributor doesn’t need vacuum from the manifold, just from the air cleaner, and...

Thank you for the kind words. In a kind of while I was in there moment, removed and cleaned the glass and the rubber gaskets. There was at least a couple of ounces of Idaho dust cleaned out between the front of the instrument panel and the rubber...

Mounted a 33x10.5x15 Maxxis M/T to replace a 35x10.5 mud hog tire I was going to use on my cruiser but wasn’t going to clear the garage with a top on. So now my cruiser looks like this with the 4in left I have.
