LOL, small world in deed. If I had driven Carolyn's FZJ70 to the game, you might not have identified the connection to me as quickly. For Davis and your reference, here is Carolyn's new baby next to her old baby. I hope you will be able to join us next week at William's Bros.

Thanks Juan for the help. Since the 70 has ~109k Km, it seemed unlikely that the switch would have enough cycles on it to be causing issues (or at least I hoped). So I started over at the battery reviewing and testing all connections before getting into the steering column and dash. On...

The Cruiser is a 1997 FZJ70. When I turn the key, nothing comes to life (none of the indicator lights come on and she won't turn over). The head lights work fine. My thought was battery cables/connections. So I cleaned the battery posts/connections; confirmed that all the fuses were...

I am in this boat. My lift is a 2-post asymmetric lift rated at over 10k. Getting under low slung vehicles is a challenge sometimes, but the a more frequent challenge is length of the lift arms. On shorter wheelbases, the arms are too long to pick up the lift points. With the arms fully...

Washed the bride's FZJ70 and was not in a rush so I attempted to clean under the hood. The FZJ70 is a 1997 model from Saudi Arabia that is in great shape, so I was not anticipating the results to be very pronounced ... just a getting rid of grim. I used ColorPurple degreaser/cleaner with a...

This well cared for '95 was at Fullers Park yesterday The owner was a well spoken young man. Congratulations @smittycrusher

Good luck with your schedule supporting your dreams

This schedule overlap has been identified and re-identified. Good event, too bad about the conflict because I had intended to attend again this year.

It is nice to know that it is Austin too. Here in Georgia, the owner of a Cruiser repair shop told me that the clear majority of his customers have no connection to TLCA or even MUD. I thought it might be just an Atlanta mindset. Looks like I need to reconsider such limits.

Thanks for the reminder. How are the numbers going? Also FYI, I emailed Daphne to register and received an out-of-office reply indicating she will be returning 20Aug (tomorrow). If this is a concern or issue, emergency contact info is included in the out-of-office reply.

Nolen, Sorry to bring up the past ... How wash cycles did it take for the filter to clean up for you? This afternoon, I got around to washing the air filter in our FZJ70. It did not appear to be very dirty. After blowing it out with compressed air, I put the filter through easily a...

Maybe next year. I hope you lead a great class which aid the good people trying to stop bad people doing bad things.

Come see this year's cat rodeo. Herding cats is probably very entertaining and memorable to watch. For added fun, your lovely bride can always bring her 70 to fully get in the 70 Series spirit while ensuring that the 70 returns to Rome in equal condition.

It will probably go much easier on the lift. The gasket reputation was probably earned when lying on the floor. Good luck

The radio app in the theater comes across great gems. I haven't heard (or even thought of) Wolf Creek Pass in years.
