Shortly after joining the online community in 2003, @Mark W introduced me to the acronym MVS: multiple vehicle syndrome.I never want to do this againā¦
Sneaky suspicion the āMrsā will lay a marital ownership claim to the newly Gentrified Mule (Thanks Mark).
Iāve been eyeballing that stack of parts, pieces and otherwise perfectly good Mule bones, and rolling a semi inspired plan around in my little Infantry head. Storage building has a few boxes of āI may need that one dayā parts too.
Then I made the colossal mistake of lurking in threads I have no business emulating. You see where this is going?
Well common sense and discretion are often overrated, so weāll see how this pans out. Son of Mule?
Itās ok here; youāre among friends.
In the last 34 years I donāt think Iāve ever had less than 7 trucks. They didnāt all necessarily run; thatās not the point. We all have dreams. I think it was the philosopher Schopenhauer who said we buy books with the illusion that we are also buying the time to read them.
There's a corollary for landcruisers.

Hello, my name is Jeff, I have MVSā¦Iām the victim of an overzealous imagination and I may have drifted out of my lane.
Some threads should come with warning labels.

Shaping upā¦
Funny you mentioned this MVS problem. I wondered what was going on. Once it takes hold, you can really head down the rabbit hole. This has been my 2nd year onlyā¦ took this photo a few days ago.

What I meant to say is I donāt need a āReal FJ45āā¦.
I wonder how far you would be at this time if you had decided to fix the steel tub.

When I got my first 45 I considered myself lucky. When I got the second, I thought I was blessed. By the 3rd, I knew I was cursedā¦but for the fact that I had started a Landcruiser business to support my habit.I donāt need a 45, I donāt need a 45, I donāt need a 45, I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45.

A. Not very far.
B. Thrown hands up in confusion and despair.
C. Put off till spring/summer (non heated storage bld/workshop).
D. Blew it off all together.
E. All the above.
Iāve been watching Aq projects (yours and others) for some time now. Here on the East Coast/MOV rust repair is not a matter of if, itās a matter of when. I limped the Mule along for a number of years ref: the ābody panelā repair. The TopN was appealing too. But in the end the Aq is the right call. And like your pointing out. Itās moving alongā¦
Now this pipe dream āFranken 45ā is a Mule of a different color. A little something to tinker with, without getting in too much of a hurry.
I spoke with Todd last week (my shop is next door to his) and I think Aqualu will be building stuff for the foreseeable short term future at the very least.
"Need" is such a subjective word...I donāt need a 45, I donāt need a 45, I donāt need a 45, I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45,I donāt need a 45.
