that 40 would look better if the crooks hadn't taken his bumper!
Charles, have you always had that unique hood latch system?

Found this sweet fj40 parked near my apartment in Olathe a few weeks ago - had to park next to it for some photos
@Dezein I watched you on video checking it out. A day or so before you were there someone stole my winch and bumper. My IT department forwarded security video to me of suspicious vehicles from the previous few days. It's a little grainy, but I could tell you were in an 80 or a 4Runner. He said you were casing the joint, but I guessed correctly you were just another Toyota nut. If you ever swing by there and the garage door is open, stop by and say howdy.
I assume you are checking out my fancy rope across the hood. Actually that is a safety I use when the hoods up to keep it from dropping on my head. The hood is up a lot lately.
I noticed the hood was not latched.. So yes, the rope caught my eye.. Many a Land Cruiser hood have received the crease of death from not being latched properly.
Far from casing the joint! That was actually the first 40 i've ever seen in person so I was over the moon to take a look! Sorry to hear about the theft, people are jerks. If I ever drive by and see the garage is open i'll be sure to stop by and say hello - always nice to meet another Toyota nut!

In Ames...
quick little funny story about Ames and vehicle spotting.. Jenn and i were hitting some wineries with my Cousin and his wife in Ames. Got a text from Steve Fox with a picture of our vehicle.. His lovely wife was there on a hair styling conference.. It is weird to get a picture of your own vehicle from someone with them asking if i know who owns it!

I also saw in Ames a black 200 lifted with roof rack and it had a 40 series classic emblem from apron on the rear quarter. Clearly a cruiser addict. Wish I had my camera ready to get a pic of it.
Spotted and picked at the KCK Muncie pick n pull..

Sounds like a Heritage Edition. They have a vintage emblem on them from the factory.
One of the kids staying in the RCA dorms?

No, all kids went directly to the rec center first before they got keys to get covid tested.... Josh is in Helser.
I love the juxtaposition that is created when my brother-in-law parks next to me at the office...
lol! Is that on 69 S?
Spotted this week in Denver.
Northbound as he was getting off at Overland Parkway.
