@Aloha Jen so do they have actual 4x4 trails on the islands ? Are they open to visitors with rental 4x4s ? Thinking I wouldn't mind taking the wife there on a vacation.

Great photos. The HJ60 getting any exercise these days?

Should have bought a Jeep
Were you at the missile range thing? I drove on the beach next to it and ended up having the military come out and threaten me. Neat
That is so cool! I have never seen a sea turtle in the ocean, only in aquariums. The ocean is truly a world unto itself and we are only passing visitors! It is hard to imagine the freedom of life as a dolphin?
Please keep the photos coming! They are much appreciated. There is obviously no place like Hawaii on the main-land to visit and it is a beautiful place. I am older now and very busy with business so I may never see the places you post up in Mud. Your photos are top-notch and allow me and others on Mud to live vicariously through your life in Hawaii!

Plenty of trails on the island, but they are either on private land or public land that need a permit. It's like they make it so all the tourists with their Jeep Wrangler rentals can't go anywhere. You could do it, just need to apply for permits before coming. PM me if you are coming and I can send you the permit websites ahead of time.
That is very generous of you. Thank you and thanks to whoever is running your camera. Looks like something out of a travel magazine !

It hasn't got out lately, as it just came back from the paint and body shop after 3 months there. Starting to slowly get it put back together, so it's only getting interior reassembly pics and the occasional driveway poser shot.
Awesome color choice!
I will be honest when you posted the first pics of the color I wasn't sure about it at all. Now that I see it with the black grille and a little less shine in the pics its starting to look really great.
Are you going all original on the interior or something else?
But the silly tourists still rent those Stranglers at double the rate of a basic rent a car anyway. Go figure!
Seriously you also have a diesel 60 with round headlights and manual transmission ? Are you posting pictures of it over in 60 forum ?
I miss Hawaii, was stationed there from 87-91 at the sub base in Pearl Harbor.

Yes I've seen the posts in the 60 section and pictures, great looking 60. The color is great

Thanks, it's Toyota Dark Green 6V7
Going as close to original as possible, with a few tasteful mods.
Yes, it's a diesel HJ60 manuel 5 speed. It looks good now, but will be gorgeous when we are done with it. There's a few pics in the 60 section, but once it's back together there will be a ridiculous amount of pictures of it!
Now, to stay back on topic...since this is the 80 section and all, here is my 80 looking fine on a Tuesday.

Well, it's another year down. My second year on this forum and of Land Cruiser ownership. It's been a pretty uneventful year for mods and maintenance, but a nice full year of fun and adventures in the 80. Here is the last year in photos of good times with the 80~

Haha, had to chuckle @Aloha Jen - you gotta be a new forum record with <1K posts but near 4K 'likes'.
You are a cutie to the fullest & I'm sure you know it too- beyond that you have talent in the pics you take, some of the beach/landscape shots you take have had me thinking plenty.....if only areospace CNC was a industry there. If Boeing was in HA, I'd get froggy & jump...like yesterday.
Also, you know I dig the diesel 60 (shoulda kept the Alcoas
) - let alone I'd trade you 80's if we traded addresses too
I saw a new name pop up - is @Aloha Dave your 'partner in crime' w/ a new login so we know you as a couple?
Your guy seems a very smart 60 guy, I just never recall his login aside seeing the 60 & know he's your other 1/2. Whatever his login, we need to hear more from him, IDK 60's but I like his input on the one you guys own!

Sorry, don't know any AlohaDave. My husband Mike's username here on Mud is @pescado. But he is rarely ever on Mud. If he is, it's usually in the 24v diesel section, typically trying to figure out some obscure complicated 24v electrical stuff that I have zero understanding of. It's all business over there though, they don't have any fun like the 80 section does!Haha, had to chuckle @Aloha Jen - you gotta be a new forum record with <1K posts but near 4K 'likes'.

But I have to disagree with you on those old Alcoa knockoffs that were on the 60....the refreshed OEM chrome wheels just look so perfect and natural on it. Here is the latest glamor shot of it in front of some cool old military buildings from the 1940's.

That's a beaut!!!
Been a while since I've frequented the 80 Tech section. I'm sure it's posted somewhere, but how does a guy go about swapping from the sombrero to the T O Y O T A front grill? I now find that I NEED to do that immediately. Threads on this?
