It was a special treat to get to know you and your family. Events like SAS Are very special. I hope that formula never changes.

BTW, just uploaded an updated engine start and run video. The tuner (Michael) came over and worked out a kink in the programming maybe 2 weeks or so before the river trip. 👌🏼

It was time for an oil change, inspection and A/C service. While it was there I asked them to do a compression test. I know this rig had blown a freeze plug back at 160,000 under previous ownership (2 owners back) and had the engine rebuilt...

It's 2.5m Eezi-Awn Lite - was able to get it here locally used for a great price and am very happy with it. Super easy to set up, and it actually rained on us that night and kept everything completely dry. Couldn't recommend it enough...

Perhaps a future archeologist!

Referring to the early part of this thread, I love the prospector history and those maps and binocs that were still in the 40 when you got it. Back then, people really used rigs for what they were made for. No rubber ducks on the dash in those...

Only when I'm channeling my inner old man! But yeah, often. It's pretty funny. I get an idea, run out to the garage, come back inside, research, then back outside, all day. Drives the :princess: and 🐕 crazy!

do you always wear socks and flip-flops 😜

I personally think $7,500 is a bit steep for just the chassis, but on the other hand if you can have a well sorted, relatively rust free FJ62 with a H55F for less than $15k than you're doing pretty well. It is worth noting that the 3FE motor...

Sure did! Bought the Frontrunner cross bars for a Range Rover Classic. Then just mounted the awning with its factory l brackets.

Bought an awning a few weeks ago and finally did a quick weekend trip up the mountain to test it out. Was a great time until my dog got sprayed by a skunk!

redid the whole original AC system vents, new seals, closed all the gaps, refurbished the dashboard, sprayed the other parts in red, original color etc, couple progress shots for you guys Took a while …. A while LOL

We are an all inclusive group. Plus, we we love to recover non-Toyota vehicles. :rofl:

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.

You want someone to give you a step-by-step? Have you tried having a go at it? It's not difficult. In fact in the factory service manual, it's a single step. Sometimes the best way to learn is to try figuring it out. If you get stuck, people...

Accomplished a lot today. Time with family. Quite a few odds and ends. 02 bungs, fuel pump wiring, fuel. Get it all hooked up and pushed outside. Call my 3 year old over to help. I give her a crash course in starting it while the battery is...

Washed it, in preparation to get it back on the road...its been sitting 5-6 years now.

There is the Gotham City Cruisers club, I'm moving this post to their subforum for you.

Tonight was my night, and my FJ was part of it

I've got like half a can of R12 still hooked up to a gauge. If you're interested PM me, happy to sell ya the whole setup cheap.

Woody on its first taco run. This one's for @Spike Strip, Woodman Ave and Woodman Pl near the Copart. Pollo looks legit. Picking up some jute under padding from Vic's.

2015 DC long bed, TRD Sport. 115k miles. Interior is mint. Have they adjusted the valves? Maybe there's a leak somewhere. Or maybe it's time for that 1UZ V8 that I always thought it needed.

Man! I should've reached out to you when I was going out to meet this guy. He told me he was going to keep it, then got a ridiculous offer from some dude in New Mexico like two days later. For anyone curious, he sold it for $22k sight unseen to...

Man I’d buy this back in a heart beat with no questions asked. Can you give the new owner my contact information? I want to be first in line!

Making progress on the @TRAIL TAILOR 80 axle/ coil swap. Got the mounts burnt in, installed a set of Jason's 3° radius arms. These things are big beef and cheddar. I got the axle under the car and springs installed. I got the panhard in as well...
