Hey, Juan. Welcome!!
Would you happen to be the same Juan who lived just north of me in Chandler about 8 years ago that had the '70 FJ-40 that 'crabbed' down the road?

No clue.
Last I heard of Steve he was talking about selling his '40. Years ago.
Mike, I thought, moved away. Not sure
Hi,
I'm Glen. The wife, kids and I moved to Tucson from Washington a few years back. We both have cruisers, as you can see by the sig. My wife has had her 40 for years, and calls it her dream vehicle. My 80 I've only had since '97 and am in the process of reviving it. I spun a con rod bearing, and my wife finished it by turning it into a constant knock, instead of a low oil pressure knock, but that's another story.
Does anybody know of a good machine shop in Tucson, one that is familar with Landcruiser engines? There's a lot of places, but instead of rolling the dice and picking one I was hoping someone in the area had some experience. I can do all the wrench work on it, I just want a machine shop that I can trust.
Thanks,
GlenBA

Welcome aboard!
To get an answer on a good machine shop, you may want to start a new thread about it.
You'll probably get more response that way.

my name is bill and I will be moving in november. I live in fairbanks, ak right now and I will be going to the other extreme. I hope to hook up with you guys. It will be different being able to drive in the winter. my cruiser is kind of a mutt. it is titled as a 66, but has many different donors. I have a ez locker in the rear and a aussie in the front. I just did the disc brake conversion all around. It's powered by a 350.

Welcome to Tucson.
Hello.
My name is Ron,Im from Phoenix.

Been romping in the desert now for 10 years.

Hope to take her out soon after the lift and tires to see what she an do.

Hi Ron Welcome to the place - Your 80 is gonna look kick ass with a 6" lift and those wheels...
See you out there!
See you out there!
I live in Flagstaff and have a couple of Cruisers - a 1971 that has been in my family since '73. Bought it from my mom after my father passed away about 1 year ago and started to modify it a bit with 4 wheel discs, 4" skyjacker lift, and new tires/wheels. Not going to do much more modifications past that other than a paint job.
I recently bought a '78 FJ45 that was imported from Costa Rica. It is pretty stock now with a bit of body cancer and my goal is to get it back to a stock rig.
Haven't done any of the functions w/ other FJ people yet, but hopefully will in the future.

Welcome aboard Brian! I've been trying to convince my wife that since we need a p/u we should get a 45. She's not buying it
