Yes, we’ll we should have ceased the trip and turned back around once we had the hood incident but kept insisting we could keep ride it out, broken windshield and all. Then the sunshade flipped off with the damaged windshield so we had no cover and it was as you know hot this past weekend, but...
It was like one of those movies where things go from bad to worse. To add severe pride shattering insult to injury, I forgot to latch the hood clamps and you can imagine what that looks like on the highway When the hood flies up but everyone is all right. I still need to check out why the engine...

That would be fun. We'll be cruising along in my profile pic ride. We figure it would be a great way to get out while practicing social distancing as Texas goes off the chart on COVID-19. I'll DM my contact info.

From this weekend. Took the family out for a day’s adventure. It was one for the books. There were up to 7 seven people riding at once in the FJ. It seems hard to imagine but was actually pretty easy and comfortable for all without any cargo.

1969 FJ40 with electronic fuel injection paired 2F engine and 4-speed transmission from a 77 model. Transfer Case 2H-4H-4L also from 77 model and Warn front locking hubs. This FJ40 is reliable, tough, and authentic if anything. She looks somewhat of a...

Barn Find in Kansas City, KS:
I'm posting this on behalf of an old friend outside of Leavenworth, KS unable to hold onto this '78 FJ40. It came to him some years ago when a close friend passed and willed it to...
You would assume correct, sir. I am eager to make at least one of these events. I think I'm overcommitted during the SMORR but will keep my fingers crossed for Tuttle Creek.. thanks again! The family appeal is a big sell to the wifey as well, thanks
