    For Sale @ High Desert Cruisers

    I’m selling a Matco Flexible video scope. I upgraded and don’t need it anymore. It works fine, asking $40.00.

    For Sale @ High Desert Cruisers

    I am looking for an early 40 series hood that has damage. Prefer something that is probably not worth saving as I am going to cut it up. What do you have? Thanks

    Build "The Milk Truck" FJ45 Preservation Sorta

    I got lucky and just happen to be looking in the right place at the right time and bought an oem stamped bezel for the 45. It came off of a 1963 fj40 and had the right patina and character to match The Milk Truck. I think it fits the truck well. Excited to have found one that matches the...

    Is this the same thing @alia176 has? If so that thing is like a luxury trailer. I think I could almost park the under the awning of his.

    Build "The Milk Truck" FJ45 Preservation Sorta

    I looked at the Timbren axles and almost bought a set. They could have worked but I didn’t buy them. I was having a hard time convincing myself to build the trailer into what I wanted vs. how much I would use it. The trailer went to a new home today and I don’t have any regrets. My new...

    Build US Spec. February 1990 Poverty 80 2uz/h151f swap

    I have been working with Tim to fine the program to make sure we are getting everything out of the motor as designed. Through process I have given up the pirated Techstream I was using coupled with my aging computer it just would run constantly. I purchased a Launch tablet and have been...

    Build "The Milk Truck" FJ45 Preservation Sorta

    Well, I learned a friend of mine was looking for a Bantam trailer at the same time I had posted here to start working on mine. After all the advice I received here to not drag a trailer over the Rubicon and my own lack of excitement to build the trailer at the moment I made a deal to sell it...

    I have not heard of Dutchman before. I wonder how their axles compare to stock? I do have a second set of Nitro Axles as spares that @Broski hooked me with, so I am not looking to buy another after market option but if there is a stock oem axle available I would get that to run in place of the...

    @cruisermatt I am very interested to see what you find for real axle shafts. I cut exactly 4” inches I believed out of an 80 series short side axle if that helps comparing length to others. I researched other FF models the best I could before I bought the Nitros. I expect you probably have...

    Build "The Milk Truck" FJ45 Preservation Sorta

    It is something the PO made. It fits and works well enough that I might make use of it. @thatcabledude @Broski @cruisermatt I understand the trailer does not need axle shafts, I just figured I could make use the space to haul spare axle shafts. I am running Nitto shafts in the rear of the...

    Build "The Milk Truck" FJ45 Preservation Sorta

    The first task I need to do is get it rolling, so new axle, and springs. It may seem like over kill but I already these 80 series FF spindles I am planning on using to build my trailer axle with. I am thinking I may even be able to incorporate the emergency brake with the ebrake handle to...
