Looking for the unicorn: an inexpensive, secure, goat/dog/ coyote-proof, snow-friendly driveway gate.
fj60 resurrection was already in the works when some <insert yr own words> stole from commuter rig, parked 10'+ up the snowy driveway. thieves plucked personal EMT work gear: fanny pack...
Long time member, got side-railed by life, just now getting back to a better self (one hopes).
Could use my Mud Family's help getting the Landbruiser running again. Thinking I'll get it towed, to IVS or Quirk's, will need full fluid change & diagnostics. What cost should I anticipate?
Hi all, heading to Seattle and my return load fell through, so I've got an empty truck and trailer :crybaby:
Can haul anything from parts to rolling chassis anywhere along return path: Portland, Pendleton, Boise, SLC, Moab, Farmington, Abq.
Will need to hear from you by 8am Tues the 18th...
Ms Radio was dropped at my DVM's office, snagged from a road about 10mi away by a good samaritan. The finder couldn't keep her, she didn't have a collar, and the vet was busy, wondered if I knew any local rescues. Gave them some info, and offered to foster her for a week, to provide some time...
anybody got ideas how to keep the young jr scientist and the younger budding beauty queen bizy?
done Hickle, could do it again. ditto Calibers, and the Abq range near the volcanos (got blown off the range).
Thinking Biopark, Nucs on Eubank, and.... ??? They are still young (and spoiled)...
Bought mine from a known Mudseller, no issues. Inspected and rinsed all w/str8 gas upon receipt. Filled a couple w/regular fuel for the 60 in the fall, no issues. :)
Took another set in w/me for premium fuel so's I could keep the DD's on the road this winter. One opened easily, the next, not...
so flame away, I've got the firegear to handle it.
chose to get a limited registration from AKC for my rescues, so they can compete in event at venues where we'll already be, supporting my buddies.
say hello to:
CJ's When U Wish Upon A Star, ms Bella, and
CJ's S'more Please, mr Coco.
My rescued boy Coco is headed for the knife tomorrow: excise 5 of 11 growths. 2 different types; 2 sternal subq, 2 in his right armpit subq, and one 'skin-tag' type on right shoulder.
Needle aspirate showed fatty cells, and we wanna keep it that way.
Nervous b/c it's surgery, and as rescue...
hooched up in the woods once I found out how loud my re-roofing would be, and played w/some shade options (tho we had plenty of the natural type avail).
shade cloth triangle, avail at WW and HD, 12x12x12, $30. tried to mount it to my yak sliders but it was too long. might fab a slider plug...
ideas?
I'm sold on Yak's: bombdiggity. Know how to mount their access. Fabbed a way to use Quick-Fists on 'em also, for the hi-lift, oars, etc.
Even had a buddy fab me up some sliders for my Yak's, which thread I will update and include linky here.

One of the many ways I cherish my FJ60 is that it is content to sit as yard art/power tool protector (i park it in front of my shed) until needed, then fire's right up.
ain't drove it since july, it served well today in posting political signs and did small wheeln as a treat.
truth is...
It's like expedition camping, minus the bumpities. Every site is different, this is one of the worst, locking down the grass camping w/no in/out options. So we chose the next best thing, a tree for shade, about .25m from the show in the Other Direction from the big RVs w/slide-outs and loud...
Biz w/ good rep that can't fit you for 3 months, or coworker who will match the price and do the work tomorrow?
Roofing is the primary task, flooring next, putting the tax credit back into the house. I trust the coworker in that I can leave town w/my dogs and he'll get it done while I'm gone...
How to pick a color? Definately going w/EnergyStar, to get the 30% materials rebate, but that still leaves way too many choices.
A fellow home-owner suggested green, to blend in w/the woods, but I'm not feeling it, since the house is only 50' from the road (feels much further when shoveling...
Not Texas style beans n chili, the unadulturated Green stuff (which matures when dried to Red).
It is one of the Three Sisters, ancestral food for natives, with beans and corn completing the food triangle. They grow together in harmony, each helping the other. (links to come here)

post 'em up here, as the social forum doesn't allow attachments.
yes, I searched. 26 threads...
I'll start, since I've apparently become a target. :rolleyes:

Anybody built one?
It's hotter-n-heck here right now (happens couple times a year), and even the 50gal fish tank is in the 80's, due to ambient temps.
My current feverish dream is of a canvas topped?, bug-screened (still get a few mosquitos every now and then at this altitude) wood-floored...
thinking about buying this one for road tripping in the loaner wagon (summer) and the 60 (winter). any input?
Amazon.com: Koolatron Compact Kooler: Kitchen & Dining
any input?
searched, read the manual, been driven around in it: do like. And I'll get used to the dark green color.
otherwise, any reason NOT to:
have a/c, wicked sound system, heated leather seats, moonroof, awd, and 26mpg? Dobers fit nicely, and it'd allow my 60 to become the expo/wheeln...
2nd sample, difference source, came back positive for coliform again. time to shock the well. read through local Environmental Health documents, etc.
don't wanna fubar it, gonna start calling locals, thought I'd see what ya'll think. trying to hook the 8k tax credit, which means a time crunch.
