Hey how are things going with this gem

Things dramatically slowed down after my last post in June. My Dad passed away after fighting cancer for 11 years RIP

I got him addicted to Land Cruiser‘s, and enjoyed working on them together. He owned a hooked up 97 FZJ80 & 78 FJ40.

On a more positive note, I am getting back on it ; ). Just got my driveshafts back from the shop. And she runs good! Hoping to take it for a drive this weekend . Still lots to do!!

Hey joe sorry for your loss. Good drive in the LV this weekend might be just what you needed and well deserved

Joe,

I’m sorry to hear about your dad and yes, Rest In Peace to him after the cancer battle. You need to put a momento on the LV so he can be riding with you in such a cool vehicle. Once again, AMAZING work that you are doing! Thanks for the pics. I might have to make the trek up to your estate and get a ride!

My friend Dan, who is the local Toyota dealer parts manager, is down in Plano Texas at the corporate headquarters. He sends me this picture today. Fully restored Fj45 LV in the lobby.

Is this the one Marv Spector did for Toyota Corp?

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

It certianly looks like it!

 

[KT40]

WOW!!

 

[phat73cruiser]

Went to drive it on Sunday afternoon.
Put it in drive and it completely shut off and wouldn’t restart??? It took me about three hours to figure out that it wasn’t a wiring issue, that the distributor had taken a dump

I have been trying to upload a video but this keeps occurring. see picture above.
If someone can explain to me how to upload a video correctly?

I think mud only accepts links to YouTube or other sites. Not 100% sure though.

Sick fuel tank. Just need a couple 16 year olds in bell bottoms and butterfly collared shirts smoking cigs in the back to remind me of my childhood.

Guess I’m going to have to set up some links to YouTube .

I believe a link to Facebook will work also.
