a bit off the current subject...but...i've been looking for a "land cruiser" childrens book...there are plenty of jeep books...but...not land cruiser untill i have found that there is one

"Go Go Land Cruiser" by Moriya Yushi? does that look right to you guys?

...i may have to pm MOT to see if they are still available

 

[JohnnyC]

Land Pimp do you have one of these books? i see in pirate you referenced it...but...all i see is x's

I want to know how Jim doing with the furnace replacement. Not to much longer and the nights are going to be getting cold. The better half probably won't be letting you leave town for the FG if she doesn't have heat

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

Heat's on hold, new unit is sitting under the ducts, that's what they make woodstoves for.

This weekend is a washout (wedding in NH) and I've still got a PTO winch to finish installing. Ten days until Fall Gathering and I want to GO-GO LAND CRUISER!

This one would be a couple thousand older than mine, so that would make it what...at an average of 450 per month (making mine a mid Oct '63 to early Nov '63) this one would be around a June '63 manufacture date. This correct? Seems pretty old to have the short posts!

I didn't get up to see this but have had a few emails back and forth.

There were a few more photos put up on ebay.

Is this the original jump seat?

Is this the original jump seat?

The frame is original, but it looks like someone found a way to make the cushions more painful than the originals.

I saw these seats and thought the same thing. I didn't think it was possible but I guess it is.

fall colors in the desert

A little over a year ago we moved my mom in with us. We took here out to see the fall colors last year but it was to late everything was brown. Made a effort to see them this year. Timing was just right. I just love fall time here in the desert.

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

Niiiiice

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

You're right John, that's not what I picture when you say Arizona. Should have taken Mom out in the 25 though.........

Should have taken Mom out in the 25 though.........

Next year. None of the running 25s are in the high country. Next year I will have a dry place store them in

Bestop off, rusty bows on, jump seat out, roll bar is next.........just because it looks wrong. May have to restore this thing someday.
