was gonna start body work but it seems like i better try to find the source of my oil leak. turn the rig over a couple times to charge the battery and noticed that alone would make it leak. hopefully just the valve cover gasket. flares are off and all but the rear sliding windows and hatch have the clear glass thanks to the 411 from you bro! guess ill be heading over to your pad to find the leak first before i move ahead. just dont laugh when you see her...lol

hahah I won't laugh that loud. Hopefully is the valve cover gasket. If not we can track it down. Just make sure to have it clean to make it easier to spot.

Hung out with a fellow mud member yesterday. Hayn80 is an awesome dude. By the time I got there he had almost pulled the valve cover and it looks like that may have need the source of the oil leak. Took a scenic crowd on my over so I figured I'd stop and get a pic.
Guess my invitation to another Hawaiian 80 party got lost in the mail....again! I may not be able to contribute much on the technical side, but my husband Mike is getting pretty good at diagnosing problems and turning wrenches on Land Cruisers if you guys ever needed extra help.

Lol....ita just a far way out on the west side to travel from. Mark and I were talking and when we get his rig going are going to try and head to peacock flats and a check it out. Plus, I still want to see your roof rack in person and your husband's 60.
Peacock flats is awesome, we went up there and camped for a night not to long ago. We went up there by ourselves, but would be much better/smarter to do it with other rigs, as it's pretty remote if you get stuck or broke down.
hahaha when josh dropped in it felt more like playtime than wrench time! talkin story and getting stuff done at the same time??? can beat that. and yeah that valve cover gasket was shot to hell but it looks like that was the culprit. jen you guys will definetly be invited to get your knuckles busted and dirty...lol! nah we/'ll seriously do a cruise and hangout one day! josh, my friend, you sir are a wealth of FJ knowledge! thanks again for droppin by!!! btw your 80 is amazing in person dude!!!
and you got to see our little stable of toyotas...haha
