Folks, A good friend of mine is stranded in Ogden with a dead 96 FZJ80. From his description, sounds like a head gasket failure but I haven't seen the truck. Looking for a good Samaritan, or recommendation on a good shop, to have a quick look and render an opinion. He lives in Durango, CO...

Excellent!! Thanks so much for the help. This Cruiser deserves to be back on the road. :-)

Awesome. Thanks for the news on parts. We'll see what Stephen discovers when he sees the truck and go from there. While it will need paint eventually, our goal at the moment is to get him back on the road... even if the front end might be a bit of "patchwork" for now. He can always have it...

Folks, Quick intro, I'm a past president of LSLC in Texas but they disowned me when I moved to Colorado :)... anyway, I have a buddy with a son going to school in Bozeman that needs a little help. I spoke to TC Carpenter a few minutes ago and he suggested I add a post here: The buddy's son...

Will be there Fri and Sat bumming a passenger seat since Nada still has chains and the snow plow attached. Staying/working in Mason this week (starting tomorrow). Sounds like everyone is pulling this together nicely... can't wait to see some of my old buds. JJJ

SWEET! We got lots of trails up here you can run without getting a scratch. :-) JJJ

So sorry, Kowboy. I feel privileged to have met her. JJJ

Don't like the front guard... love the rest. JJJ

Wow! It's been a while since I've seen that truck. Nicely done. JJJ

Just now stumbled on this thread. Impressive and fun to watch. Wish I had the resources and skills to go this route back when I did mine. I went WAY conservative for fear of building something that would be unreliable. Also, didn't know Gary C as well then or I would have drug his butt into...

I second what Bruce said... home equity is just not a goal of yours! :-) Congrats on the promotion and move... the whole crew is always welcome up here in Colorado. Just need about 30 seconds notice! JJJ

I didn't click on it... I'm smarter than that...
