Hi,
I used to live in Omaha (and still have a house there - and a '61 Buick
)
since 2004, I own a 40 that lives in Arizona and gets wheeled whenever I can get out there
I'll check in periodically, but am too infrequently in Omaha to come to meets unless by pure chance of schedule.

Gary in Kearney. The cruiser I like best is my 1980 forty. Lots of gears and stuff. Just got back from South Dakota where I met Jim from North Platte. Plan to go to the TAC event in southern MO.
My bad, I just threw a set of knuckles and a bare hj61 housing on a trailer going to the scrapper. I did save some important bits, spindles, hubs and birfs. I got the lockouts and the long side-long spline.
Hey, Im in Omaha. '79 FJ40, Mustard yellow, 33s, 400sbc, LockRites. Currently in pieces after a particularly nasty engine fire. Body and interior survived, everything under the hood is toast.
Ive owned 2 FJ40s, 1 FJ55, and 2 FJ60s, 3 4Runners, 2 Tacomas. Current daily driver is a '08 Timberland Green 5.7 TRD Tundra. Wife drives a '09 TDI Jetta.
Im currently working on another project. 1951 Ford Tudor Custom Deluxe. 239 flathead, 3spd on the column. Going for a mild '60s custom look, lowered 3", mexican blanket interior, frenched lights and license plate, wide whites with spider caps. Still deciding on color.
Ill get back around to the FJ40 when the feeling of being forsaken by it goes away. Damn engine fires.

Hey,
Omaha/Papillion resident, FJ62 owner. First cruiser, I've had it for about a year and a half. Looking for a nicer FJ60/62 or an FZJ80 so I can combine my 3 season driver WRX and winter driver LC into one car.

Glad to see a Nebraska community getting started. I previously lived in Texas, which has a huge TLC following.

Sorry little late getting here. I'm Pam and I live in Cozad. I have a 1967 FJ40 with a 4 cyl Perkins diesel, TF727, and a Dana 300. Detroit e-locker in front (untested) and Aussie locker rear. Dana 44 axles front and rear. It is purple! Haven't done any wheelin' this year in it, was fighting PS issues. Think I have them worked out for the most part, but still seems to lose fluid. Need to work on heater system next. Hope to meet and wheel with some of you in the future.
Let's see some pics of that Perkins FJ40.
Careful what you ask for.

Yes it does like to eat drive shafts, I think we are up to 4. Have a new untested Woody in now.

Wow, great project. Love the driveline pics. Thanks for posting.
Hi my names Jeff, a couple months ago I flew down to PA to drive home my "NEW" 83 fj60 with a 3B dropped in and full grease car set-up. So far, thanks to all the cruiser gods - I did a front axle rebuild and I'm gunna put on some new wheels here soon and swapping the suspension this week.......and the work continues. Good to see some cruiser lovers in NE.

That 60 looks great! Very nice!
I don't see many other FJ80's around Lincoln. I've got a green 1994 with OME lift, 315's, rear locker, ARB bumper and winch. I go down to Tuttlecreek when I can to offroad it.
