Labor Day weekend Well Spent- camping at Elk Rock State park. Iowa

Somewhere Montana

That time me and a friend drove from Memphis to Joshua Tree National Park and back, about 4k miles round trip.

I think there's a pretty long tradition of dogs appreciating Land Cruisers. :cool:

Bought this truck for her since she couldn’t lay down comfortably in the sedan. I like to think she appreciates it.

Afternoon all. I have just spent the last 2 hours after work messing with my cruiser. First of all I disconnected the sway bar from the truck. Noise remained but somehow felt twice as common and worse. (Maybe placebo) I was pretty sure at this...

Welcome and congratulation on your find. As a baseline, we always replace heater tees, if no direct knowledge they were done. While tees off, blow out the heater cores. Also with coolant service. Drain the block (both sides) and R&R the...

Yes. Don't know whether I got a good deal or not, but it already has a lot of the stuff done to it that I would probably spend a lot of time pulling together. Enhanced suspension (Icon - I know they have mixed quality reviews), roofrack...

Finally tore it this week. Automatically ordered a boot kit. Then I thought about how I already re-booted this side 6 years ago. Went ahead and took advantage of the sales this weekend. Should’ve bought 2?

Much needed CV reboot at 317k. Not terrible, lessons were learned.

Just finished renovating my garage after my new driveway was poured. Used my 100 to haul home the wall art for the newly renovated garage!

I have the day off, so I spent a couple of hours focusing on the transfer case. Take a look at these before-and-after pictures... WOW!

I spent a couple of hours scrubbing the rear differential, axle, and back third of the frame. This is definitely going to be a multi-step process, so I plan to divide the undercarriage into thirds. Next, I’ll tackle the middle section, including...

This is the first time I have ever used Rusty (or any FJ40) to pull something. I know this was a pretty light load, but man... he did great. I couldn't even tell there was anything back there. It was super satisfying for me to be using this 40...

For those of you who have been on Mud a while, you may know me. But for those who've joined in the last 6 or 7 years, I'm really no one. I've been a Cruiser guy since I was nearly 3 when my folks bought a brand new '72 FJ40 at Lyons Toyota in...

Things the black hand says we’re not supposed to talk about.

@EWheeler … I agree. I watch almost every Land Cruiser auction and local sales on the US internet while attempting to control the costs of what I spend on mine.. I think mine is a cut above many in cosmetics and mechanical. Of course...

I live in a tourist destination. Some times I have to tell people thank you but I cant talk because I will be late for work. They love the fj40 but usually they have no idea its a toyota. I get the "Nice jeep" all the time. Weirdly mostly from...

Hundo got some new shoes and a new matching spare. Went with Falken Wildpeak MT 255/85/16 pizza cutters. So far I am thrilled with the on-road behavior. Road noise is fine, not must different than the 315/75 Ridge Grapplers that I can tell. I...

HVAC Drain Extension - The HVAC drains through the front passenger firewall. On my 05, you can see a black triangular-ish piece going from the bottom of the condenser to the bottom of the passenger footwell. Over time, and due to the lack of an...

Last year at the 70’s event in East Tennessee. 😁

Had a good group today at the Ride Lounge in Peachtree Corners GA

You can pop out the glass even if your sunroof is not operational. Just remove the inside trim surround (fragile) and four nuts.

Am I the only one thats borderline furious about the text reply in all caps from the service advisor? Its not even my car and I want to tell him to piss off.

Happy to hear ya'll made it through relatively unscathed. Down here in Charleston we had epic hurricane swell surf for the week without the hurricane. It was awesome. Definitely skipped out on work a bit! 🤙
