Spent many a day and evening in that parking lot @houstonfj40
My guy has aged out of there and is the driver of my Cruiser now. Good stuff!
Foul ball (and homerun) parking is a very strategic thing.
Door cards and tunes.
One small step of many.....

Awesome. I think my neighbor used epoxy to get a bike tire on his kid's power wheels, but I will try the nails for her FJ. My two year old just prefers to drive his John Deere rig right into the snow, get stuck and then dig himself out - so wont mess with his.

Dare me.
^^^ short deck screws or wood. I did my sons over two years ago and it’s still good. I put them every 3” alt sides.
My buddy put chains on his boy's Power Wheels. I marvel at the skill his 2 yr old has at backing up on wet grass
I had a great run with the Eastern Sierra 4wd Club on Saturday exploring parts of the Nevada desert close to Bishop/Big Pine,CA
Thanks @2mountainfish and @John McVicker for having me!
We started our journey in Big Pine,CA, half way point was a tiny town of 50 people and a Fj40, called Silver Peak,NV. From there we went north through the mountains and back down through Bishop.
Amazing drive and some very knowledgeable people in the club that went into some of the crazy mining history that exists in this area.
I love 2mountainfish his build ^ Labor of love that is fine tuned to perfection. Left my 62 far in the rear view mirror going through highway mountain passes. Thanks for the warm welcome to Big Pine, Jerry!
John McVicker his 60, is the awesome truck that has seen it all and will outlive us all. Both the truck and John have great character.
Lost mining cabin where a few very creative guys used to come and try to proof their mining claim. Amazing piece of history.

The lost and lonely 40 in Silver Peak,NV... Needs a 2nd life.
Amazing volcanic colors in the mountains
The best hot spring I've seen so far...
I'm staying in Big Pine,CA for a few months exploring all the 4x4 goodness this area has to offer. Check out more here:
Me and my FJ62 are in Big Pine,CA for a month. Where do I go?
Very cool!
Thanks for the kind words. It is great getting to know you better. Your rig is no slouch either. We did over 200 miles and it never missed a beat.
So much to see. Here are a couple more pics.
Got around to replacing a couple of leaky coolant hoses and took it out for a short drive around town. It's nice to get it out for a drive again.
Drove it to Charleston, SC for the weekend. Came back with some furniture that barely fit and a belt that squeals above 3k rpm. Tried to tighten it on the road, but it's adjusted all the way out. Time for a new belt. Is changing them on an FJ62 as bad as people say?
^^^ @Code Red, it can be a challenge.
This link will take you to a previous post I made in this thread about changing the belts for the first time:
What did you do with your 60 this weekend?
Hopefully my experience was the exception rather than the rule!
BTW, I did list the correct Gates V-belt numbers on that post.

Cleaned up and preserved the license plate lamp assembly. Wire brush and rustoleum on the back. Bar keepers friend on the front then cleared it.

Took a trip out to the desert...
I'm fairly sure you and I have the same Ramsey winch mount. old school. Only other one I've ever seen on a 60!
Drove my new one home out of snowy cold Colorado, through extremely cold and treacherous northern Utah. Almost slid off the highway somewhere in Utah, had to stop many times to wash the windshield. Slow going but an adventure none the less. Passed this guy this morning just north of las Vegas
Gave me two tone rig envy
Got the most important part for the turbo today
