Not the best start to the day. Daughter was parked up at high school when Florida Man drove into her. No idea what speed the idiot was doing but thankfully my daughter is OK but a little shaken up. Driver side fender and door is also...

Getting rid of my old crumbling fender insulation Ditching the transmission cooler: And the transmission: Prepping an H152:

Also, who is this crew? Met you in Stewart BC at the gas station. We discussed we are all active on Mud, but forgot your handles. Anyways, nice to meet you all and hope you have a good rest of your trip.

12 days in trip to journey to Alaska with Dad! Currently in Whitehorse YT. Trip is going well and trucks are both running great. Just missed the 331,000 mark at camp.

Building my fourth set of drawers for the 5th Land Cruiser I have owned. The 4th one already had drawers. I build simple ones without slides and they carry a lot of weight just fine pushing them in and out. Pocket holes and glue.

FZJ80 front brake conversion with 100 series pads. Made a nice difference over the stock parts.

Mystery piece fell out of the auto transmission as I was moving it. Looks like a ring/spacer with a groove around it. Snapped in half - any ideas? Removed the auto flexplate, flywheel and rear end plate. Rear main seal looks fine but I'll...

Crow's foot + breaker bar did the trick on the oil cooler lines but it took some force Removed the torque converter bolts, unplugged all connectors, removed transmission crossmember, and dropped the transmission to reach the bellhousing...

Yeah its probably going to get 37s instead of 40s, bunch of camping gear and drive all over the world, hopefully he has an awesome time in it!! As far as next project goes, im already ankle deep into a gs300 drift car, another 100% stock car...

Ran into this beauty today. Stalked for a while waiting for the owner to come out. We had a nice chat. Nice guy. Clean 40th, only 118k and it looks like it was garaged it’s whole life.

Ran Slick Rock trail this weekend. Honu took it like a champ! But slick rock was no joke. Definitely some challenging sections. And I ripped another section of fender flare off. Sadly I think they may be not long for this world...

I removed/replaced my cigarette lighter with one of these: Amazon.com: Aluminum 36W QC3.0 USB Car Charger - 3 x USB 3.0 Socket, 12V/24V, 10A Fuse, Black : Cell Phones & Accessories - https://a.co/d/bUneSpU

Ran Slick Rock this weekend and saw several other 80s out there. Trail is really gnarly this year. Lots of dirt is gone which makes the rocks even bigger.

wheeling, camping, and fly fishing for my first time.

Finally got the boys started with building their swing outs.

Drove the 80 almost all the way across the country and by back for the second time in 4 months. Once again she did great.

Sitting flush, now to butcher this last cut.

More stuff is here, just a few things left, finally starting to feel like most of the financial damage has already been done.... Manual transmission harness, OTC Auto to Manual crossmember, and auto to manual transmission tunnel cover plate...

Fender well cleaned up nicely after removing the insulation. Timing belt looks great. According to the Japanese sticker it was last replaced 6 years and about 65K kms ago.

Engine harness has arrived! The H152F Harness got held up in customs a little longer, hopefully I'll see it Monday/Tuesday.

Yeah its definitely professional. I think it was totally worth the coin. Mick was great to work with in general and to be honest I probably wasn't the easiest client. Total cost was 1900.00 USD for both the engine harness and transmission...

Took forever to restitch (4+ hours), but restitched my steering wheel in perforated alcantara. Thought I ordered full alcantara, but oh well. Let’s see how long this lasts. TRD colors and stitching add +5 HP easy.

Installed some WRX seats today. My seats were no longer adjustable, or rarely so, and the drivers seat had to be pretty far back or else it would slide back and forth. These WRX seats provide a lot more support thanks to the big bolsters and I...

Truck is sold, bittersweet. Ill be happy to start on my next toy, but ill always love the memories and friends made with this truck, thanks guys!
