Missions accomplished. Pool deck teardown progressed marvelously, and the old shop has been emptied into robs new property. Long day, but we got it done. Moved all four remaining vehicles, three engines, four transmissions, two dozen motorcycles...
Side quest: I am finally getting around to getting my little isuzu work truck back up and running so my focus until my fuel pressure regulator comes in is going to be towards my isuzu pup.
Back story: I blew the headgasket on the way back home...
Dang I did not see the metallic part of that. Its weird because our 2 fj55s are clearly not the only two in this color. I have seen others on mud.
Yeah I have found this chart. none of the colors looked quite right to me on these but who knows...
I seem to recall an FJ45LV color called Coronado beige or Colorado beige that I had zoned in on as a possibility. None of the FJ55 specific charts had colors that looked right to me.
The correct way to center the wheel is to adjust the drag link or relay rod. If the wheel hasn't been removed b4. It insures the steering box is centered. The shortcut is to remove the wheel.
Its been a busy couple of days. Some updates and questions: lists as usual.
1. I got the drive shafts, pinion flanges, and pinion seals all installed. Looks good. under there. I am stoked to have that all set up. getting one step closer to...
Just pittleing with the old fj55 this morning! I pulled the pertronix style points out. and screwed in the points. I dont have the little post yet but when It comes in Ill install the condensor and everything else. I did some rooting around with...
This is his daily driver, it's a fan favorite in the Cruiser Outfitters parking lot. I found this pic on his IG, now I know what they use our forklift for when I'm around :D
This was his daily driver before losing the 2F. He's just about done...
ahh dang it! I bet thats what happened I looked at the ballast resistor today and it looked fine. Maybe its time to Rock some points! I just gotta get the little plastic piece that goes in the DIzzy. I have a condensor and a set of points. I...
Its been a busy day! I went this morning to buxton to drop off my uhaul trailer. I left my house at 6am and got back home at 10:00ish am. I then dicided I would start messing with some stuff. I had already purchased plugs and wires and a water...
Nassau Beige appears to have been a metallic color which my truck is clearly not. I was thinking either Sundune White (beige) or Pluto Beige. I never could quite figure it out.

Skid steer never showed up. There’s still a complete 80 drivetrain on my trailer, but I can deal with it. I’m extremely grateful for all the help I received. Everything big has been moved, and I just have a final walkthrough to do for a couple...
David,
Are y'all still doing 100 series carpets? I sent @Tupelo Honey a message a few days ago and I have not heard back. Let me know if you can assist.
Thanks,
Dave
Today I printed some spacers to push the fuse panel back and make room for the OBD2/Scangauge connector behind the fuse panel door. The connector can be unplugged if the state inspection ever warrants it (we don’t test anymore in my part of NC)...
Thx!
The rear doors turned out great, and Julia has been killing it on the vapor barrier restoration:
We ended up deleting the factory amp & removing it altogether for simplicity, and I was surprised to find out that the little dash...
Luke got the Patrol reassembled and it’s back to being a runner - and this time on all 6 cylinders. The new Nissan forklift distributor replaced the original crusty one that was the source of our problems.
Thanks so much for having us star city crew! Well done on the non event as well.
Somewhat hated to sit around camp vs running the trail but it was exactly what I needed. Looking forward to getting back up and exploring the area some more...
