406 Cruiser Heads - Introductions

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Hey guys! I'm Alex. I was born and raised in Dillon. Currently living in Corvallis. I'm running the beauty pictured, also have a 72' fj55 but that pig needs alot of time and attention that I will hopefully find one Day. When is the next get together?

Pretty sure I've passed that 80 series a time or two. I'm up the road a couple miles near Victor crossing.

If you live in victor I'm sure you have! I live in Corvallis, but work north of Victor at Ravalli Electric.

I met another guy from the Co-op during the summer with a few cruisers, there seems to be quite a few 40's around the valley.

That must be Shaun. He has quite a few. An 80, and a couple 40's. Yea I see alot of 40's around. Handful of 80's. There is a really nice 45 that comes out in the summer around Corvallis.

That 45 in Corvallis is a kid named Dan, it was passed down through his family to him, it's a cool rig. He's doing a lot to bring it up to par.

I drive the green 40, usually have a rod vault up top during the summer.

 

[QuackAxel]

Yea I have seen you around!

Hello 406 Cruisers-

I am George and recently became a 100 series owner after years of looking and dreaming of an LC. Long time Toyota enthusiast driving Tacoma and Tundra.

This 07 LC showed up at my place in BZN a couple weeks ago and we have been busy baselining and outfitting for trail use.

Attended the Swap meet last weekend and met a few folks- Paul from Helena, Will with the mini-truck, others I forget names. Seems like a great group! And what an awesome collection of Cruisers.

Our overland style Trail Whale tundra which has been fantastic for longer missions to Baja, CO, AL (our home state).

We have an almost 4 year old kid and are looking forward to joining the group for some trail rides and camping, hopefully starting later this month at Ringing Rocks.

Welcome George!

Looking forward to meeting you, maybe Ringing Rocks Trail Run later this month?

Hi all, I'm embarred to say my 93' FZJ80 has been garage bound and has not seen the light of day for almost 6 years now. I drained the fuel tank before storing it. I work on it when I'm able to carve out some time here and there. After I replaced the radiator, I discovered exhaust gases are pushing into the cooling system. I knew the previous owner had ran it hot and that it was going to need a new head gasket. I'm trying to find someone who is experienced with these engines and that is reputable. I'm aware of Overland Cruisers in Belgrade, have contactd them and am presently awaiting a response. However, I live in Hamilton Montana and would need to have it towed to whomever can repair. If you have any recommendations closer to my area I would much appreciate hearing them.

There is a Toyota shop up in Missoula behind the Big Dipper up on the hip strip area, just a tad closer than Belgrade would be.

You might look into a AAA membership to see if that helps at all with the towing costs.

I guess I don't go outside of the GX forum enough to know this page existed, guess I am gonna have to get us signed up as members in the club.

Some of you might recognize the truck as Matthias's old GX. We are based out of the Dillon area.

Welcome @SteadfastRocky ! Great looking GX.
Your tool kits appear very well thought out and the bags are super cool.
