But are you willing to move??? Sorry, I messed up finding the name I wanted.

BUT... you’re in Houston? I might be there twice in the next few months. Always looking to eat or drink with a Mudder.
 
Anyone have a black 40 with tan top right hand drive? My wife said she saw one going up Afton Mt today.

Not me, but pretty sure I've seen that same one. Also saw a mid wheel base 7x series in Earlysville the other day, no way that guy isnt on here.

There is a teacher in Earlysville/Ruckersville that has a BJ-44, he was building for overlanding, not sure what color it was. We meet one morning, on 29, and traded some parts

Let me know when your in town and I'll buy you a beer!
 
I'm In staunton and work in Charlottesville.

Pretty sure I've seen a couple of you guys around the area before. Next time I'll wave.

I'm signed up for the fall crawl but I've got a pretty nasty exhaust leak that's causing the fzj stumble and I also don't have any sliders.
Working on fixing both issues before the meet.

I live in Charlottesville. Here is is my FZJ80. Purchased last July :)

Since getting this vehicle last July, it started out burning 1-2 quarts of oil every gas fill up, so around 200 miles. Since 2019 it burns that same amount of oil, but every 500 or so miles. I use 15w-40 oil and do oil changes around every 5,000 miles or so. I purchased it with 273,000 on it, and it's my daily driver. I know it's running "fine" rn, but I've been thinking about either doing a chevy swap, or a full engine rebuild. I don't have the money right now, but would like to save up. What'd you guys think? Chevy swap or engine rebuild?

Neither would be cheap, that's a lot of consumption though so you're going to need to make a decision at some point. Lots of opinions out there but IMO the whole point of a land cruiser is the bullet proof reliability and the beefy inline 6s in these are just that. I'd do a full rebuild of your engine and slap on a Wits End turbo if you can swing it. That would be the best of both worlds.
