This thing is rare. Only 3200 imported. It's lifted a bit and the bumpers are custom steel, no more tupperware! Off-roads well for a van. There is plenty of room for seats, camper set-up, or work equipment.
Needs interior stuff, and rack reseal. Ran well when parked. C-Dan can get the rack...
I am working with a local Prescott fab shop to develop a spare tire carrier. It mounts a spare as well as a 30" scissor jack with 5000 lb. or more capacity. The jack lowers flat to a height of 5" or less, and rises to 30" height. It is a very handy jack to have in a pinch.
The tire carrier is...
For the first time, I am dealing with a 1990 FJ62. I am curious about the real differences between this one and a 60 series.
There are the obvious things like the headlights and fuel injection. Power mirrors and such are not that important.
But I have run into issues like the idea that wheels...
In our local group, we need some FSM's.
If anyone has them, please let us know. We need 91, 93 & 96 FJ80, a late 80's HDJ60 Canadian Diesel, a corresponding American gas 60 truck, a 90 FJ62, and others.
If you have them, please help. If you can load them onto flash drives or discs, let us know...
Rich at Iron King Auto Parts in Dewey AZ buys all the LC's that he can get. He currently has a 91 80 and a 94. The 94 has the later engine that I have in my 96, but alas, no lockers. He also has a 60 series. Most are largely complete, not picked over.
If you need anything, call him at...
Rich at Iron King auto parts has been real fair and decent.
He runs Iron King salvage in Dewey, Az. He has made a point of buying Land Cruisers for parts resale. He buys them from all over the southwest.
Land Cruisers in salvage are rare at best. Finding used parts is difficult. Rich tries...
Lowe's hosted a lunch barbeque for contracters today.
While I was there, I saw a set of tires on a Chevy truck. They got my attention.
The raised black letters on the sides called the tire; Nitto Sand Grappler, Desert Terrain".
I have been running Nitto Terra Grapplers for five years. My second...
Dog Town Lake is a small lake south of Williams. Camping facilities are simple at best.
There has been some interest in getting a gang to camp out there. We could set up a comfy camp and hang out.
The place is 15-20 minutes south of Williams. There are a lot of pubs, diners and other food...
I have held a wholesale + tax, cash payment, type of account at BAP for over 30 years. I have held a long-standing relationship with that company. Several of you know that account as being under the current name of "Macgyver Fabrication". Access to the account is by a phone number. Without the...
I have a 3-bedroom guest house in Prescott Valley. It is on offer for weekends. It is a limited time offer. It only lasts until it is sold. Our market is faster than the cities. Houses offered here do sell out pretty quick.
We are looking at $100-$125 per weekend, as long as you leave it clean...
I've held it close until tonight, keeping my mouth shut in case it didn't work out. Now I have set my place, and I'm pretty sure that I'll be there. So here we are.
If you are in Prescott over the 4th, check out the parade. My truck will be in it, towing a school float crowded with kids. So LC...
Does anyone have an extra 80 series 16" factory wheel? I could use one right now. It has to be the 96-97 type. If the price is right, I will buy another tire to mount on it.
Here I am being all serious all the time. I'm about Meeting in Prescott, and getting together with Cruisers from south of us.
I just got the latest Prescott Funny Paper. Some things beg me to pass them on. :popcorn:
Enter your own best gags here, and let's have a bit of fun!
Right here in my home I have two of the most historic rival guns in history. They were pitted against each other in one of the most historic battles in WWII. The approach to Moscow, and the retreat was one of the greatest man-to-man battles in modern times.
I have a Mosin-Nagant Russian...
Last Saturday AM, I got Jill, Lessa and myself in the LC and headed to Cracker Barrel to get some breakfast. I was really hungry.
About 1/2 the way there we came across a full-size Dodge long-bed truck stuck in a ditch. The whole right side was down 3 feet with the rear axle high-centered and...
This might be a bit crazy, but the idea keeps nagging at the edges of my twisted mind.
What if the club could own a small house in NAZ?
We could rent it out to members for $120/night. A decent motel in the Prescott area rents for $90-200 a night and up. How about a 3 bedroom house for $120 a...
My trip from Northern Az to the coast went smoothly, thanks to a great truck and some prep.
I run a 96 locked 80 with 35" tires and a lift.:):):)
The truck ran great except for one little thing...
On Interstate 8 west of Yuma, we got to sea level before climbing up 4200 feet on the approach...
In Disney's California Adventure, I saw a pretty clean 45 series pickup sitting as a prop. It is light green and has light rust in the doors and front fenders. It appears to be complete. It could be restored.
None of Disney's patrons will really care if the prop is an old Army Jeep or a vintage...
Some time ago, Bro Rob told me how the skunks on Mt. Graham were very friendly. I didn't really believe him. I was wrong!
I'm finding that skunks are not at all bashful. They will do whatever they want! I went out to my truck in my driveway a bit ago, and there was a little critter with a really...
Maybe I am getting a bit more squemish in my old age. Back when I serviced cars for a living, I used to see several fingertips fubared in a single uh-oh! incident. I would patch them up and finish the job.
I don't do that so much anymore.
But yesterday, I cut off the tip off of my left pinky...
