I just heard about this place a couple days ago! Now I'll have to stop by next time I'm in Sandpoint Idaho. It's about 75 miles from me.

OK, the purge has begun! much of this is free, come take it if you want it. some of you will believe what I have amassed, some may not, but here's 20 years of parts collecting.
various switches and electrical
Wiper motors
FJ40 gage clusters
spring shackles with some minorly damaged threads...
so I got the lift delivered. thought, screw it, I'll pay someone to do it. $500 for labor...and they can't do it until mid week. I need to get this FJC on the market. so I started yesterday at noon. stopped just after dark with the Driver rear corner left and the diff drop. finished up today by...
so Jill isn't caring for the FJC's suicide doors with a teenager getting in and out, and the limited visibility out the back. so, we went shopping for her. a few days ago, we brought this home. sorry for the blurry pic. 2016 4runner Trail Premium with KDSS, 26600 miles. today I ordered the lift...
we are heading up to the Jemez this weekend and plan to explore a road where I saw a good size dead fall last year. anyone have a chainsaw I can borrow?
got some parts/ideas for fixing the fuel issues in my 40. Dumpolina's buddy used a Taurus fuel trap in his Samurai. Dump, did he have to cut open the tank to fit it?
I got a caprice tank from u-pull that had the same engine my 40 has. here is the fuel trap once I cut open the tank-
it's big...

anyone else watching this on History channel? it's fluffed a bit for the masses and added in fake drama, but 3 of the 5 vehicles are Toyotas. it's a race across Alaska, off road, with 5 teams of "real looking" people. no million dollar trucks. an FJ55 with stock 2F is actually in the lead as of...
I noticed another 80 showed up at u-pull. I went to get some stuff today and got some pics. I pulled the whole dash out, but set all parts in the back.
I just heard that Cy Stockhoff that helped us with the wilderness medical class and father of BadMojo-aka Paul, has passed. I know no other details, but a great blow has been deal to us and the EMS community. we will miss you Cy! as I learn more I will pass it on here.
just saw this in the hard core area. the fridges are on there too. some say they have called and made orders by phone. just in case anyone here is looking...

we are back in the saddle. Sunday June 9th at the Rio Rancho Haynes park at 6:30pm.
also we have some new gigs coming up a Pappadeaux's. if you can only see us once, it should be there! otherwise, come on out to Rio too!
anyone have a FJ40 radiator lying around? good or bad doesn't matter too much. I'd like a decent one eventually, but a bad one for mock up will do.
my goal is to use the FJ40 rad to cool the 1FZ with a Ford Taurus electric fan. the 40 rad will fit way better between the headlights and the...
Project 16- FJ60, 40-45, FZJ80
I'm not sure where this should go... I got an FJ60 from a local club member and stripped it to the frame. idea is to take the 60 frame, add a FJ40 body made into a 45. been done before.
took it to work for body removal...

I will be in need of an engine hoist shortly (thanks again Beno:grinpimp:). anyone have one that's not being used? I can break down and buy one if needed.
and Daisy- I'll have some sliders for you in a day or 2. get ready to come get them.;)
I have a friend that wants to learn some 4 wheeling and I need a shakedown before Hole in the Rock. anyone that wants to come along is welcome. meet at 10am end of southern.
takers?
so I started working on the trailer for the Oct trip. got a lot done in the last 2 days. the swing out rear will have a jerry can holder and a storage box. the inside of it will have a fold down table. here's some mock up pics:
with the bumper mocked up too-
with the bumper part welded in and...
