@65swb45 Thank you. and yeah, I need to cut those off or maybe buy some of your ubolt skid plates.

Well, today is the day I get hitched. I'm pretty stoked to marry the love of my life. While I wait for my friend to get here with the trailer, to bring the FJ40 to the venue; I wanted to post some awesome pictures of my grooms cake from last night. My mother did an awesome job with it.

Well, I did it. I got hitched and also completed the cruiser in time. Here is proof. Super stoked to see where my new life takes me. I have an amazing wife... that's still weird to say. And an awesome Land Cruiser. Time for some most excellent adventures!

Looks amazing. Nice work!

@Oregon FJ40 I have a 66 that I painted Cadet Blue last year. Love the color.

Well for the past few months, I haven't done much to ol' Flora Jean. Just enjoyed her presence and had trouble with the carb. I have been playing around with the idea of upgrading the carb to EFI but the initial investment has been keeping me back.

Well for my 30th birthday, my brothers, sister in law, and a few good friends: Charles, Kayla, Corey, and Michelle, all pooled together and bought me a Holy Sniper Autolite 1100!!!

I am so stoked to get this thing and install it.

It is backordered until August so I am playing the waiting game until I can get it installed.

 

[mrboatman]

You'll like it.

 

[middlecalf]

Wow, great family and friends! (You do realize that you now have a number of folks who won’t feel guilty asking you if they can borrow your rig for the weekend ).

 

[Krondor]

Well the people at Holley are a bunch of liars... Instead of giving me until the end of August to research and dream about the EFI set up. They decided to send it right away...

 

[65swb45]

I think that’s called a triple-dog dare.

I figured I would throw together a small life update.

I wish I could say that I have installed the sniper and have been driving around. Unfortunately that's not true.

Life finds a way of distracting me.

Good news is: I have a son! Marshall was born May 2023.

Maybe this winter I will get my act together and install the sniper. As for now, Flora Jean will continue to hibernate in the garage.

Congratulations. Trucks and toys can always wait for family. Enjoy you new son and take care of your wife. It will be gone before you blink.
