Media FJ40 Pics from "Back in the day" (70's, 80's) (1 Viewer)

[joestewart]

I know this thread is '70s and '80s. This one was taken in 1995. Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California. We were off road with permission from the Dept of Recreation and Parks - no four wheel drive this time! We just drove on a gravel road and parked - it was related to our occupation at the time. Louis in passenger seat. I know it looked hideous, but that was a great FJ40! Should have never let it go, but I owned too many of them and I had no place to park them etc etc.....

I believe all pics from the last century have a place here. They're all film photos (no digital) anyway...
Thanks for sharing nice pic and memories!

Wow, اليَمَن (al-Yaman), thank you mate!

PS. As a former Middle East expat never made it there because of the civil war: Omani friends suggested not to cross the border (2018-2020)...

@LJRay was lucky to go there before the war (s):

70 Series military use

…been there, driven that, but in a 55. Would go back in a heartbeat… Any pics, perhaps?

52 years ago (circa 1973) my first set of wheels (1958 Willy’s Jeep)

At 16, l’d saved up my life’s savings to date and paid $1K for it.

Went out and bought these
X-Caliburs for it.

Out on a ‘genocide’ mission to thin out Nebraska’s Prarie Chicken flocks... !

A fellow classmate & wild man, Larry,.. owned this little ‘chunkmeister’....! The hunt was near Burwell, Nebraska in 1975, we were seniors in High School.

Conjurs up memories of the old TV series...’Rat Patrol.’

Prarie chicken wasn’t as tasty as pheasant or quail, they were all dark meat. A lot better eating if they were near corn pivots.

More Grouse hunting escapades in Halsey Forest a manmade forest in da middle of the Nebraska Sandhills.

Still have that Marlin 12 gauge pump. Well worn, slides like butter.

Ya had to park on a high point otherwise you could easily get lost, ya wouldn’t think so, but a person could sure get turned around in those hills. These pics were taken on the outskirts of the forest.
