Thanks! My thoughts exactly :) Unfortunately I don't, not within an hour or so of here. I did manage to find a 100lb bag of "Green Diamond" for $14 from a local stone yard though. It's working great so far! I do usually reuse my media but I decided I had probably better stop shooting sand and...

I think you're right. Most of the people I hang out with think I'm crazy but I definitely enjoy the work! It certainly can be therapeutic :) Thanks, will do! Haha who knows, maybe someone spiked the water cooler at work ;) Thank you! I'm definitely enjoying it so far! Maybe less so when I...

You are correct, that's definitely not the kind of advice I was looking for. That said, I still appreciate your concern! I don't think this project will be too overextending for me though. I was in a car accident a few years ago and have a specific back condition because of it. It's usually...

Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to the community here, so I figured I had better start getting acquainted with you all before I start posting all of my random cruiser-related questions. I've been lurking for quite a while now but I've only recently become the proud owner of an FJ60! I've been...

Thanks! It's definitely a project but at least it runs well ;) Yep. No sense in doing the same work twice 'cause you bought the cheap part. That's a lesson I've learned many, many times :p Good to know! I'll try to stick with the Koyo or Timken then. Thank you for all of the information...

Interesting. The only time I've had to make a return they didn't even make me ship the part back.

Good, I'm glad! I'm hoping to meet some of these guys. That's a good point. It's hard to get that kind of service elsewhere.

Can't argue with that! Noted! I'm all about supporting the smaller guys as long as the prices aren't too crazy. In this case I might just go with Cruiser Outfitters' kit since it's not marked up too bad. I'm hoping to meet some guys in the area who might want an extra hand wrenching on their...

That's what I thought. I will definitely buy the rebuild kit from them. Just wondering if there was any good reason for paying extra to get the same Timken wheel bearings from them as well. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I've been lurking around here for a long time doing quite a bit of research into potentially owning a LC. I went and looked at an FJ60 a few months ago and offered a trade with cash but he wasn't interested. He texted me back a few days ago and said I could have it for $2,500 cash...
