Got to have my wife pull me out of the fuel island at the gas station. Was able to pop the clutch and start it once I was rolling. Thought I need a jump-start, had a jump pack, that didn't work, tried jumper cables to one battery and the jump...

Team, I unfortunately have injured my back again and may have to sell this truck because I'm not sure I'll be able to work on it myself. Anyone know someone looking for a troopy with a pop top? I've got no idea what to price this at for a...

what a cool camping setup you built! love that rig!

Got some new wheels for the bj74 project aka patina turner. Truck came with 75 splits basically as rollers. Cool looking but too narrow and don’t want to run tires with tubes. I was on the hunt for fj cruiser steelies specifically since I’ve...

Give me a day or two, out of town right now.

I'll take them. One of mine is bent. Let me know shipping to 37363. Thanks!

Nothing too flashy. Modified a racket strap and put a couple of rings on my flatbed to tie down an ammo can I've filled with my compressor and tire kit

Taking these to scrap soon. Figured I'd check if anyone needs them before I haul them off. Cut the front bow up, but the middle and rear one are still intact. Free, plus shipping.

I can take more pictures if needed.

Few more pictures.

Cleaning out some stuff. Off an '89 Troopy, Euro spec. $12 for the front bumper. $27 for the rear. $27 for the steps. Shipping from 83702 not included but will ship.

I was just going to post one up.

Anyone? Free plus shipping?

Wow, Alaska is so gorgeous. Definetly a bucket list item to see! Thanks for all the great pictures.

Adding to the fleet like @theglobb minus nice hair Also I havent seen a check engine light in awhile and how I do miss that warm yellow glow. It’s like an ever present companion in a VW. I got a 2002 Jetta wagon TDI 5spd for free. Well...

Onwards

It’s mostly together ready for driving. Just need to finish the interior electrical. Need a wash. In front of the ARB car oppressor goes the CC servo from an 80 series.

Used my the 8274 to pull out a horse trough I buried about 10 years ago. It was a planter to contain bamboo that only survived a few years. It was pulling the truck, with three wheels blocked. Initially tried 'lifting' it with the snatch block...

Yes. Again, rare and I had to have had a tailwind although it wasn't exceptionally windy that I noticed.

Defied the laws of physics yesterday...must have had a tailwind. I was not able to confirm with a cell-phone app. But I was passing people on the freeway, something that rarely happens.

Mondays and Thursdays are the two days that I don't ride, I just yell at the NICA kids every other night of the week.

One of these T holders from cool cruisers $22. Kids are back in school and also terrorizing the foothills on Monday and Thursday evenings looking for grumpy JA’s on the trail. https://www.coolcruisers.com/liplfrtbr.html

What do you have your front license plate bolted to? I've notices a lot of people just don't run a front plate anymore. I don't on the 45, 55 or 75, just the 80 has a front plate. Are your kids back in school now?

Legit can’t go anywhere without Fergus 😂

couple of thing... Custom snorkel and installing the electrical on the EATON F/R lockers. I replaced the bulky, messy wiring with a 3 relay block (2 will serve the lockers and 1 the lights) and adding the OEM switches with potted connected...
