Finally, after 2 years I got my correct era license plate registered. Arizona used this plate from 1969 to 1972. Blue truck gets to hang out with the 1969 Mustang in the backyard. -

Nice rig! I need to replace all of my weather seals on my 72 also. Here's what I'm getting from City Racer. I would include part numbers but your truck is a later model than mine and will need different seals in several places. Obviously, you... -

On my way back from Denver I was able to snag a used Air Down Gear Up sleeping platform for a really good price. I like it a lot since I can just slide the front piece back when I need to have my rear seat up which is handy when your 60 is your...

It's been a while since I updated this thread so here's a few updates: I've addressed a lot of the stuff on this thing mechanically but never really did much to the interior besides clean it and swap the door panels. The drivers seat had the...

Just little updates. I did an oil and filter change last week. Mileage is 360,1xx right now. Trying to get the tires rotated this week. Yesterday I went with @Wermz to make a huge mistake sell his 80 to a guy from Alabama. Bittersweet, but the...

The weather here has been way hot and humid to be comfortable out so I had not kept up with things BUT… the last 2 days have been quite amazing with very low humidity. I took the 40 out to run a few errands pick up some gas and do some grocery...

Got my fj55 to idle for the first time since I swapped in a 2f and 4speed transmission. I am stoked seems to run pretty good. Open exhaust right now.

I made a trip to Ace Hardware in Clear Lake for new bolts for the bench vise I’m cleaning up. I’m at the register and random old dude came back into the store to ask the cashier if she knows who owns the green Land Cruiser. It was a hot day so I...

Nothing exciting, but the old girl is always wanting to get out so I picked the hottest day of the week to run her to work.

Spent a week at the beach with the family and brought the 40, many special memories made - especially a few fishing trips with my daughter!

The trip ended up being about 3800 miles all together over 17 days and we were averaging a hand calculated 14mpg across the trip. Gas on average was about $3.50/gal so yes about $1K in gas is correct. Cant put a price tag on a good old...

Looks great. Proper rack for a 40.

So by chance, I picked up two large old-school Con-Ferr racks a few weeks back. One went on Pikachu, and the other needed a little more work and is going on this 40. Here's what it looked like when I picked it up. Obviously it needed some paint...

It's a 78. Vent windows in the hard top, spare tire carrier and round bezel make it a 77 or 78. The windshield washer nozzle in the top of the frame make a 78. If the three points seat belts are attached to the roll bar it's a 2/78-12/78. Seat...

I overlooked this place. Did the loop in cades cove when my nephew visited a few weeks ago. No top + windshield down. Saw some bear cubs playing and tons of deer.

Went to the Tatacoa Desert 🏜️ 🌵. We drove way back inside the desert until we saw no other cars or people. Such a surreal experience. We found an interesting Ecohotel and spent two nights watching the stars at night and exploring the landscapes...

I'm planning to add a 200 LX within a year. 100 is my spirit animal. Although sometimes I do consider that I'd get in to a 200 faster if I sold the 100.

After 30 years playing with old cars/trucks/motorcycles I’ve finally got a reasonable handle on what I like and what I do. Like a Land Cruiser, I’m slow but I get there eventually. :D
