    Why Am I Blocked From Posting A thread on the Vendor's Page?

    I've been around here for quite a while. Have not posted much lately - I'm 72 YOA and do not take the 1985 FJ60 out on the dirt much anymore. Main reason is my power brake booster is shot.

    Vaqcuum Booster

    My dad could fix anything. Thing was he would not say s*it if he had a mouthfull. of it. So I spent hours handing him wrenches while he worked on cars. I rarely asked why, and he rarely told me why. I reckon he thought learing was by osmosis or some such. Well., it did not work for me. I...

    Brake Booster Diagnosis

    50 years ago I did a lot of my own maintencence based on what my Dad taught me. Then the job and family caught up and I outsourced most of my vehicle maintencence. Now at age 71 I cannot remember much of what Dad taught me. And that is a damned shame. I have a 1985 FJ60 with all the bolt on...

    Platoro CO Trip

    I posted a thread with several photos on the main forum here: Platoro Colorado That was my first trip to the southern San Juans. Had a ball and will go back for more exploration next season. The area has the rep of being an "undiscovered jewel". I can vouch for the jewel part.
