FYI, we have a few stock 55s and i dont think we are going to be doing hard core offroading. Just saying, that maybe you are ok w/o a skid plate.

I guess you're right. Just getting ready to finish the dash install - I have to cut out the openings on the ends for my defrost vents. I feel the anticipation of cutting into a perfectly new >$500 Toyota part, kind of like a surgeon going into the operating room in a life-or-death surgical procedure
. Then install the door cards, the flaps that keep mud from the wheel wells from getting into the engine bay, and the mud flaps. After I finish that it'll be ready to fire up for the break-in. My wife gets to start it up, the reward for her patience in putting up with a 2-1/2 year build. I'll be looking at the engine bay for anything out of the ordinary.I also just remebered late last night that the FJ60 isn't even insured or registered yet! I do have the title, and have to go to the local office for a VIN inspection and registration after getting an insurance binder. And I have the option of getting another one of these:
I got one late last year for my '84 FJ60.
Yesterday afternoon...should be back in operation today.

Good enough for Kermit, good enough for me!
Getting close, day break...
Hey, I got to thinking, does anyone need something that I can bring along before I close up the shop? Women and money you're on your own, I got my own problems there. Parts, bolts, liquids, grease, etc.

Are we gonna need extra fuel for these trips or will we be refueling along the way? If so, you can bring plenty of extra fuel for meHey, I got to thinking, does anyone need something that I can bring along before I close up the shop? Women and money you're on your own, I got my own problems there.

I believe we can fuel up at Jacob's Lake, but Evan would know for sure. I'm carrying 60 gals. in my tank, so bring a siphon hose.

Piggers is running great, I have been booking it. I’ll be at the north rim tomorrow.
Safe Travels to all.
Oink!
It really doesn't, but does hang below the frame rails. I've dragged the skid plate in Moab a few times.

Geez I'm forced to back out this year. Marv is just not ready to make the trip reasonable. Site 27 will be available - if I can't cancel I'll let you guys know and someone can use my confirmation number to use it. Bummer for sure. Have a lot of fun for me!If you want the site PM me. I can't cancel, but I can change the occupant's name.
