Subscribed a little late but looking forward to seeing what you've got in store. What a great truck and amazing stash of parts for it!
i can see the emotions flowing thru all the way from both sides. This pose should be on every cover page related to classic Land Cruisers.

so, i bought tucson at a bad time...i brought it home just in time to find out i was being transferred to wyoming (that part was a positive....so glad i'm not in kalorado, especially for this b.s.) . i towed it home from arizona, only to have to tow it down to bonham and leave in the capable care of texican for almost two years. i have after living in a hotel, i finally bought a house in cheyenne to find their rules were too strict to build a suitable shop, so i've since bought a 13 acre farm complete with barn and tiny insulated quonset hut that should fit tucson just fine. after a delay on a trailer build, one of the techs at my shop was able to make it down to texas and load up my motorcyle and annie and tucson. they should be home tomorrow!!!!!
2020, craziness! Sounds like it’s been quite an adventure finding Tucson a good home but it worked out for the best!

lol...i am sooooo not patient. thankfully, the move entailed starting up a company almost from scratch with a lot of newbie employees, hotel living while fixing up one home the next state south to rent, finding a home here, moving, then realizing that home wasn't going to work, finding a new home, dealing with a deadbeat renter, nothing but clusterfucks at work and selling one house and buying another the same week and moving out of one, into storage, then from storage to the new one in one month and the new house was owned by a hotbox smoker who never cleaned. been too busy to miss too much stuff
Huge ass thanks to @Texican for taking care of everything for me. they are tucked away in my she shed now. took a bit of cramming but both eventually fit, so right now, 7 of 9 vehicles (if you include the trailer) are indoors for the winter!!!! wooohooo!!!!

time for a way too long update. in april this happened,.....
april of 2023...yeah.......that's how crazy life has been. between trying to keep up the 13 acre property, fix up the home that has suffered neglect by an older couple, work, mow, spend weeks at a time working at other stores no where near home,, blah blah blah, the axle sat for years. then, i said 'i have to get to work on this axle..i'm sick of stepping around it;
in july of 2025, i had started stripping it and put one knuckle and parts in the solvent tank because it was not pretty

four months later, i cleaned and painted the springs. eight months after i took one knuckle off and it spent that time in the solvent tank, i can tell you that the grime/grunge/funk laughed at eight months in ed's red and i had to wire wheel everything eventually. and that was fresh solvent.....

i also discovered this fine "repair job" by a previous owner. yup, that funky double not well threaded stud was in on one of the steering arms.
i drilled, tapped and helicoiled it and it's "like new"
seems like there's a lot going on, right......yeah....that's why this job just kept getting longer and longer and longer.

assembly began, but i realized that every time i went to put something on, it was skanky and i had to clean it. lesson learned. the rear axle is going completely different
after a lot of time with a razor, wire wheel, sand paper......
