Yep - this sums is up being here in CA.

Got a video of my brother-in-law driving Yellr over the weekend. I had asked that he periodically start/drive around. What I didn't ask is that he rub it in by sending me movies him driving around.

Went hiking over the weekend and read though lots of MUD threads that I haven't had the bandwidth to read. I see some people a few counties away are having Carb issues etc. I'll reach out to see if anything I can help with.

Did spend part of the evening last night being a FSM Call Center - fielding questions and living vicariously. Wait to hear about results from last night's "consult".

That mug is soooo right!

I was the consulted.
As I was rolling around on the ground trying to wrap up my project I had Bryan on the horn looking up specs in the FSM. ‘‘Twas nice.

This just reminded me that I’ve been putting off the rear main seal and oil valley plug job :bag:

The oil galley plug was already done on my 40 (bless the PO 🙏🏽) but wouldn’t be that difficult on such a stripped down engine.

I’ve been dragging my feet doing it on the 62 though, but still, not that big of a thing.

The RMS however, ugh, you’d better really need to go under there and do basically everything I just did while it’s open.

You'd think for the amount of money spent, and time invested, that we do with these dumb things, the percentage of lift ownership would be significantly higher.

First in line for donations? 😉

I’ve got the slab poured, just have to build a building around it. A lift is down the road for sure.

If you've got a spot, I see them pop up on auctions around here pretty routinely for not a lot of money. I have no where to put one at the moment.
 
Made my way down to Stockton, CA today needing any Land Cruiser fix I can get being away from Yellr for so long.

It was a Toys for Tots drive at Terrain Tamer. Lot of toys for kids were donated. Also lots of kids showing off their Toys. Met Georg too. Great event and time today, thanks @orangefj45 and crew!

Several vendors were there with some holiday discounts.

Was great to meet a bunch of people - made some new connections. Steven @MostlyNuts owns the blue 40.

Next weekend... Rus @solomrus is flying in for some time. Saturday we are heading back Stockton for Tech Day at Valley Hybrid. There are 6 Transfer Cases to build. Steven and his son I believe will be there too.

Thanks for coming down to join us at our first annual Terrain Tamer toy drive!
Was great to meet you!
The event exceeded our expectations. So many toys were donated; the marines were barely able to fit them all in their van.
Lots of friends and fellow cruiser and Toyota 4wd enthusiasts made the trek, as did about a dozen vendors.
We appreciate all you guys !!!!!
