So yesterday only 3 people stopped to knock on the door to look at the truck 
and today one called back wanting to buy it. He was a jeeper so I politely denied him
(although he was a sherwin williams auto paint dist. mgr)
and on the note of jeeps. The tow truck driver that brought me and the 45 home sunday said
" a landcruiser? i hardly ever tow one of these. Mostly down there at Uwharries "
"now what you dont want is a Jeep grand cheerokee, i bet ya I tow two of those a week"
barely held the chuckles

The gas station seems to be the place I get hit up the most. I can barely get the fuel pumped without being stopped by three people. Yours is more striking than mine, sitting up that high, so I'm sure people can see that from a mile away and come a running. Fun, isn't it? Like I said before, it's like driving a ferrari in terms of the gawkers.

NO JOKE there. Ive had two random people stop at the house now and offer to buy it. Funny thing was, they had no idea what it was, had never seen one before....... but they knew they wanted one.

great day for some poser rock shots. Man that low/low 1st is something else. Still not as smooth as an A440F but ......

12'' 5125's with the 255/70 valving
He loves the 45, just chills around town sitting upright like a lil brown dude peering out the window.
But he likes to play lame after a run and likes to be hoisted in place
no hardware came with the shocks and the PO removed the shocks and never added back the nuts to the eye post so I'm trying to figure out the size and thread pitch of the shock tower mounts.

man, I shoulda checked back here. I spent an hour digging and searching only to find the wrong answer posted up 
anybody need some M10 x 1.25's ?
add that to the list of things i truly hate about toyota......oddball fasteners, not just metric, oddball metric.
special order item everywhere I look, and the one place that said they had em (automotive fasteners) turns out only has incompetent employees. There was a reason I called ahead.

except they close at 4:30
and they only show boxes of 25 and dont list M11 on their site. Did you have luck with them?
Ill buy the box if i have to. Toyota says its a discontinued part number so I called Cdan who said the same thing, but then found a cross reference #. It showed limited quantities in CA only. He was going to verify and call me back.
downloaded coolermans nutsnbolts excel page. Handy stuff.
