Builds “The Dude”: New Owner w/ Basket Case FJ60 (3 Viewers)

“Natural causes”

You turned the 2F into a diesel and it still didn’t die.

We’re both 2F boys for life. Get used to it.

Since I put the first 2F in, the dude has literally always started. It may have been an involuntary 4 cylinder at one point but it still started right up every time. Even with bad battery and alternator in CO??

The next time I turn it into a diesel, it will be because it sounds like one with an eBay turbo blowing through the cityracer.

The dude is continuing to take it easy for all you sinners. Not much to report besides I’m now rockin a Gamaviti (thanks Tim!!). Enjoy some film pics from this month.

Looks great! Any rubbing? I get a little with 295's but nothing a couple well placed hammer blows can't fix.

No rubbing on the street, and I don’t have enough power to wheel them so not worried about that haha

I think I’m gonna drive the dude to Baja in Feb. To-do list for that is just a bunch of Overlanding crap because I want to be able to chill under an awning, hose surfboards off and maybe take an occasional hot shower. Here are some pics from wheeling this weekend

Psychocowboys.com stickers kept me from being too stupid

The dude got a little brother, it’s basically the same thing

Acquiring the GX was an error. It is far too boring. I will be listing it for sale soon

 

[js0k]

I sold the GX. The dude is back to being my only insured vehicle. Leaving for a 5 month Colorado trip on Saturday. Here are some film pics from Arkansas

And I posted about taking the dude to Baja earlier this year… ended up taking his little bro Gaucho. Highly recommend Baja, will be an annual thing now

Tried the life of luxury, wasn't for him

Last night in Texas for awhile

Y’all ever swap carbs on the side of a busy highway?

Another drama free Colorado trip under the dude’s belt

Said hi to @CruiserTrash on the way as he got his rig buttoned up in time to make it to a gig
