Texted you.

I'll message you!

$12,000 - I'd LOVE to trade for an FJ100 and I can add $. I'm scheming a Dalton Highway overlanding trip, and I'd rather drive something on coils all the way up there. Vehicle has a clean GA title in my name. No sketchiness. 84 FJ60 - Runs and drives great, and I've done a lot with it. I...

Oh pal, I know it lol. She was also the one that was like "You should totally get a cool old truck for taking photos with". Deal. Absolute deal. I get Milwaukee tools for presents, and we watch the LOTR series at least twice a year. First marriage was a dumpster fire. This one is amazing.

84 - First bath.

Shocks going on tomorrow!

That makes sense, that'll absolutely be the next thing I look at. I'd like to see if I can have someone check that out at the same time they do the exhaust. 2 birds with one stone kind of deal.

Busy weekend! 33's went on, and my wife went for her first ride in it! She was... less enthused than I am, but is very happy I have a project lol. Shocks should be here Wednesday, and I'll have a tag on it then as well. The immediate next step will be repairing / replacing the exhaust. Its...

UPDATE: Went back to Covington to snag the LC, and was pleasantly surprised that the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder reservoir was right where I left it, so the major leak was sorted out by replacing the slave. Good news. Got it back to ATL without any drama, aside from every time I...

But knowing your shop exists is awesome. My folks live in Volusia County, and I go down to help them with their property about every 6 weeks. Knowing not far and I can trailer the LC down in case I really screw something up is helpful!

Yeah, I've been looking at a lot more options like the 255/85. Seems like it would be the least likely to give me issues. And as far as the roof goes, I'm not going to be ready to jump on that until about this time next year. Currently live in a condo and have 0 space for anything fun like...

I was looking at the 255/85. Seem like they'd do the trick nicely. And less rubber for an engine with 300k on it to push. But damn they're gonna be a pricy buy. Have a few things I need to dial in before that, but I'll get there and keep an eye out on marketplace.

I don't SPECIFICALLY need the 12.5, but it is just what I've always gravitated to in the past. Most of the tires that I really like are either more affordable in that size or easier to source. I'm open-minded, but I'd like to run 33" tires. And as poorly as it may be received, I do like the...

I wanted to make this to document the life of the FJ I recently acquired. I have 0 experience with them, but a large portion of my motivation for acquiring one is that my brother-in-law who I love and adore deeply is a HUGE Land Rover guy, and I thought this would annoy him the most, because A)...
