Installed a couple of Auxbeam products on the 1984 FJ60. Tried to be minimal about it. Aux lights nowadays have a modern styling, but I chose a basic 7" round light with amber covers. The switch panel is also one of their basic products and was easily installed, positioned very low under the...

Purchased our factory triple locked FZJ80 in 2019 for $6000 with 160k miles. It has been through several changes over the years. It will go through major transformation in 2025. I will document the build here.

I used the mini to livestream from King of the Hammers. Actually, there were two of us livestreaming to YouTube.

Posted a walkaround video of our 1984 Land Cruiser. It's not an example of a professionally restored FJ60. I'm just sharing it as is. This was during a camping trip in Santa Barbara, California, early January 2025. I still need to get my AC and windshield wipers fixed. I'll also be replacing...

Participated in the 2024 All Toyotafest in Long Beach, California. My family enjoyed the event and all the cool Toyotas. I was able to see many of my Toyota loving friends and meet people I follow on social media in person. I was told this year had the most Land Cruisers in attendance ever...

Working on drawers for the FJ60. On the right, the fridge slide accommodates either of my 2 12v fridges or RTIC cooler. I can also put 2 Frontrunner boxes there. On the left I have a 32” long drawer with a lid for flat surface area. Slide out table creates more flat surface area. The crate is...

It was a very fun event. Seeing the new LC250 was an unexpected bonus. Event Photos on IG 1 Event Photos on IG 2

Picked up the fusible link from Cruiser Trash Parts, Cruiser Trash Parts - https://cruisertrashparts.com. Got it during his Black Friday sale. I could not use the included cool custom bracket due to an aftermarket electrical box blocking the way. I got it for peace of mind but I now notice the...

Picked up a Freespirit Recreation Aspen Lite XL. I chose this model for it's weight (110 lbs) and spaciousness. The price was right for me during the last Black Friday sale. With the rack, RTT and awning, it's slightly over 200 lbs. I can feel the difference when taking turns so I had to adjust...

Took the FJ60 out for one night of camping. Plenty of space to sleep inside. Driving 200 miles with the manual transmission was a little tiring though 😂

Yes I know. I see you there all the time 😁

Few more pics…

Never thought I would see so many Land Cruisers back at Oceano Dunes. Gives me hope to see Surf N Turf resurrected someday.
