The last few weekends we have been exploring some national forests and dispersed camping with some rental trailers to see what we might be interested in buying. And my coworker that bought a 100 series wanted to do a trip through some passes that...
We spent a couple of days at "The Big Thing" in Three Forks, MT recently. I can't believe that I've been using this Freespirit Recreation Basecamp XL trailer/tent combo now for over 12 years! I have pulled it through parts of five BDRs and the...
Managed to sneak in a few brews and do a valve adjustment after getting the engine in the stand last night.

I have an awesome wife and daughter that love the 80 as much as I do.
Before we were married, wife and I would roam the Sierra Nevada, climbing and skiing the backcountry with our dogs, sleeping in the back. Too many memories in the 80...

Hand Over Weekend/Week,
Despite a couple of issues like what I hope are valve seals, my dad's 1994 finally made it to my daughter in Denver. So, Denver has a new 80 Series in its community and my daughter and her finance have a weekend...
Well wouldn’t you know it…damn toyota….
Nothing wrong with it at all…just has a thirst for premium gas but is as reliable as can be…super happy with it so far…in the future I can see a Dakota digital dash along with a haltech ecu and larger...
I have a 2013 second gen Tacoma trd off-road that I've spent too much money on over the years and built it to a great little all around truck. Couldn't shake the dream of owning an 80's series Land Cruiser the more i learned about them. Ended up...
