POTATO LAUNCHER

Good to know, I was planning on going that way again.

If this route across Blue Mesa Reservoir from East to West is not repaired by SAS time there are plenty of alternate routes. Including the I-70, Wolfcreek Pass to either Durango and North or up and over Stoney Pass from Creed to Silverton. I'm...

Had to change the fuel filter again. Got a visit from the Utah Highway Patrol when we stopped. Made it to Moab

Running 65-70mph

Those look like the radiator core rubber pieces from a FJ55 to me. Never seen them on a 40.

40 to save the day, jump start worked. Thanks all for help, we hope there’s no more issues on the way to moab.

FYI... baton will be getting passed on to @Mesa Woman and @mesa man in less than two weeks... April 26/27. We are meeting up in the Escudilla Wilderness for a brief camp, some hiking, and of course a handoff of the briefcase/baton. Anyone else...

Diesel guys, you just pound on everything!!! hahaha. Good thing I didn't call you Sunday. I went up old stage tested the new locker . I'm ready for SAS if i don't break it again

Get on the list now…he’s taking deliveries for 2027 😆

@CenTXFJ60 This is really inspiring man. One day I might approach some body work, but frankly it scares me. Seeing these photos makes it feel more withing reach. Mason's truck is gonna look great when it's done too. I've got some photos of it...

And the hood/roof while working on the hail damage

I’m guessing @landsnoozer is never going to make a build thread so I’ll continue to park the updates here :). Shot the roof/hood today. Lots of dust bunnies and an ok spray job. 4 coats of clear so we have room to address them after the paint...

Couple of days and you are set.

Clocks tickin to get er done before SAS…. Dropped the head off at the shop on Friday..

If you’re not reusing that stuff get a carbide tipped (Diablo brand) blade for your sawsall and just cut the pins off.

Heck, I'd just paint the middle section the required white and drive on. Still have its' Toyota drivetrain? Great score!

Stop calling it an FJ

I just saw they are opening some dinosaur trackways near Ouray. That might be cool to check out. https://www.denverpost.com/2024/04/10/forsest-service-acquires-west-gold-hill-dinosaur-tracksite-ouray/amp/

Do it. I have an 80 with a nekkid roof.

Remove the slave and place the fork so the bearing is not in contact , then make a new mounting braket for the slave to fit this fork position , at the same time make the braket offset so the push rod is more inline

I usually deal with sbc/4 speeds. You 1st need to set pedal height, then pedal freeplay(when the slave starts moving) and finally adjust the rod. Make sure the piston is fully seated in the slave.

Here is a little bit of foreshadowing but season one of the Classic Land Cruisers is coming to an end with a 3 part series coming soon ;)

How am I just now finding out about the trails-events and expeditions section of the forum. All of the sudden a whole new world is open up to me. It is like I can finally see. Looking forward to experiencing SAS vicariously through each of you.

I would expect nothing less from you bunch of Toyota nuts. :rofl:
