Land Cruisers spotted in Traverse City (1 Viewer)

[TCEd]

I've heard rumor of a new 45 in the area owned by the proprietor of a downtown (Front Street) TC business.

I'll scout the alleys behind the stores.

Found this neat Taco in the Costco parking lot. Owner said it had 380K miles. Nice flatbed conversion.

The 40 is taking a salt free snooze.

Do you have a white Sequoia with sliders and TRD badges ? If so I passed you on the parkway today.

Found today. May be a S.A. import. Notice the diesel logo. The sheet metal looks very good, ignore the reflections in my photo that give a wavy appearance.

That’s my old truck, sold to my cousins ex.

It’s a Nova Scotia truck with a 3B diesel, H55 5 speed and disc brakes

It’s a nice truck.

Always cool stuff outside of that shop. Nice guy there too, he's worked on my Audi and my former Porsche.

I think I saw this 40 at Autocore in Waterford a couple years back - maybe more ........... Probably pre-pandemic, the great time stamp.
Another time I was filling up with gas one day at Kroger in Union Lake and you pulled up behind me in line. I heard the diesel rattling away and looked behind me and saw the 40 bezel staring at me. Quite a surprise, with so few 40's in Michigan, or at least in my area.
Or, maybe it was a different 40 Very nice, in any event.
I'd post pics of my 40, but haven't quite figured out how just yet.

Spotted on the Mission Peninsula Monday and has Arizona historic plates. Was late for a get together so couldn't follow it home once it turned onto a side road.

I’m pretty sure that is Pete Trucco. He owns the bike shop down town next to The Northern Angler.

I thought it could be you until I saw the plate.

Flew to Boise Idaho last Friday and picked up this 1967 FJ40. Drove it all the way back. Pit stop in Greenville MI at Bowfin Cruisers to say hello to The Emersons. She will making a topless appearance next summer in and around TC! [The 40, not Jessica Emerson....]

Nice looking 40. How was the trip ?

 

[ElviMcCoy]

The seller’s name is Josh and I found it here. He is an airplane mechanic. Everything you would want done to a 47 y/o 2F was done. Oil pressure was constant. Didn’t lose any oil. Temp ran very cool the whole way. Original 2F and 4-speed. Same as my 60. Ran at 70-72 mph through Nebraska. Never had to drop into 3rd climbing in and out of Salt Lake City/across the continental divide. In my 60, I’d have been down in 3rd gear. The passes weren’t like Vail or Monarch to the south, but I was accelerating in 4th goin up hill. Shorter wheelbase tended to move around the lane a bit as semi’s blew by, but it handled fine. As hard as that 2F was pulling throughout the trip it made me realize that my 2F in the 60 needs a re-fresh...... I’m thinking I may ship it out this winter to get a re-build rather than storing her in the pole barn. Really looking forward to next summer, top down driving around town.

Awesome looking 40!

My daughter and I kayaked by your place last week. Almost stopped in for some bourbon again! Hope you're doing well.

Cheers,
