Here is how it trailered. Two 12 hrs days each way. Had to brake hard when pulled in front of near Colorado Springs. She never moved. Safety chains also front and rear. Thanks for all the help.

Decided to polish some turds while waiting on a few parts to wrap up my steering. Since I swapped in the 3.70 thirds, I had the driveshafts out. The rear that came with the truck had some rock rash so I pulled a crusty one that I had from the...

Wrapping up my wheel swap. I need to order some hubcaps, but I am gonna put some miles on it in the meantime and make sure I don't need to pull a wheel off. Before: After: These wheels cleaned up nice for being ~50 years old. Wire wheel...

New carburetor. I believe I got a stuck float valve while driving. The 40 began dying out at idle at the stop light, and when I got it home, gasoline was pouring into the carb. I think this one had been on the motor about 20+ years, so I unboxed...

Carburetor weekend for me, followed Pinhead’s lead and did it in the kitchen 🤣. Fourteen years since I first rebuilt this carb, it was time for a bath and refresh.

worked on getting the hardtop on and a side of football

Selling my very well maintained 1996 KZJ90 5 Speed Manual. This car is truly a blast to drive. The intercooled 1KZ-TE with the manual plus shorty variant is really fun. Has Sunroof, AC blows ice cold. Averaging 24+ mpg around town. Work...

This is her Froggie

After some deliberation and hesitation, I have elected to sell this Iconic 1978 FJ40. This FJ has a 37 page multi-year build history here on Mud I will include a link. Build - My 1978 Nut and Bolt Frame Off Restoration -...

Finally got around to installing the Trollhole top I bought from Evan @EWheeler earlier in the year. It’s brand new and still has the protective film on the windows. Have been looking for a green canvas top to replace the Paki top that wore out...

While Toyota still has em, have replaced all the original badging (though holding on to the faded originals). Really like the new badges on the original worn paint.

Dreamed about working on the real life cruiser. Settled for playing with these with the little guy and hoping he takes up the hobby as well.

Took her out for a Cars and Coffee morning up in Cedar Park. Today was mostly about MOPAR, but the Toyotas got a little love too! Heads up, next month on the 19th will be Land Cruiser Palooza at Cedar Park Toyota (9-11). The red goody bag was for...

New fuel lines, installed a Wilwood proportioning valve on the rear disc brake line, pulled the top off, installed a happy dog. Good week.

That looks great. Now you just need to upgrade that Blitz can to a proper (and superior) NATO can.

Completed the dome light wire, now fully powered. Had two speakers for the front, passenger side was easy. Had to be a little creative on the driver side speaker. Spent some time trying to get the retro radio to fit, another issue with the...

Glamour shots. The weather was nice enough to bring it outside. I flipped the heater valve too that's underneath the battery. It was also a good opportunity for me to have it next to its older brother. The suspension still needs to break in...

I received and installed the drivers side mirror, really do like the Euro Mirror. I also installed the 4" speakers on the roll bar. They are just the right size, I can fully tilt the seats backward without hitting them.

Cool. My daughter stole mine. I wish I kept all my spare parts to build a second rig all I needed was a 3/4 tub and I could of built a complete truck 350 4spd though , but I sold off all my spare stuff when my daughter was 8. Needed the cash...

Went to a car show with both 40’s, no trophies but a great day with a bunch of the local guys. It was a sight to see having so many LCs in one place. Black and white photos are courtesy of Sergey, super cool!

Did a quick walk around to get acquainted. @mossman40

Trying to save a few bucks to by refreshing a set of wheels I had sitting around. Some areas of the bead on one wheel are definitely questionable, but I’m gonna send it.

Now that the Texas summer is almost over, we will be driving her on a daily basis! Now we just go to the park early in the morning on the weekends!

I'm helping a friend sell this 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 following the passing of her husband. This was his baby, and while it's time for it to find a new home, we'd really like to see it go to someone who appreciates these old Land Cruisers...
