cruiser days trail ride pics had some Excitement

The snorkel worked great, considering the fact that the intake and air filter were under water for a bit, everything in there was bone dry.
As for the water/future rust in the rest of the body, I have bigger issues, the entire back has been attacked by rust for a while and the bondo job the p.o. had done finally revealed the entire damage. Currently I am looking for a Southern FJ with no/little rust because it is not worth spending the time and money into mine (already have too much as it stands). Yea that was a nice rock, still can't figure out how the front made it over that.

I'm considering that too, Mat. My truck is farked with rust. I don't know whether to buy a JDM or a southern 60 or just transplant my 2H, H55 into my fj40.

What to do, what to do.

Ah, yes, thanks. My wife REALLY likes this idea. I do need a fifth vehicle.

Your wife is cool
I'm up to 5 now. And I think I need an HDJ81. And another motorcycle. My wife doesn't care but she does think I'm a goof.
Hard to argue...

Time to change the handle Norm... maybe "bj74_guy" ;p

Oh, I see you have already started the process.

Well, I bought an Arizona FJ62 via Kamloops this week.

What a beauty, no rust. I didn't realize that Toyota painted inside the frame either until I was looking at this truck. It is CLEAN.

 

[bj70_guy]

See - you DID need a 5th vehicle!

(where are the pics?)

 

[kim]

Yes, I did need a fifth vehicle.

I haven't taken any pictures yet. I need to do a couple of things first to personalize it.

Maybe this weekend.

lift this one before you shred it
I heard it was a nice example of what a solid Cruiser should look like

It is true! I have actually uploaded some pics. Sorry about the delay, but since I have been forced to sit at home for the past couple of days (sick), I finally had the chance to do something other then work. Happy viewing. I'll be getting a couple more things on there in the next few days.
