Rubber City Land Cruisers

[Jdc1]

Looking to get some mechanical work on my 80 in a few months after I sell my 40. Probably a turbo or a supercharger. Is that work your shop completes?

Definitely can help.

Magnusen kit looks decent -

Classic Series Toyota Land Cruiser 4.5L I6 Supercharger System

@aging fleet and I have been kicking around the idea of a meetup for late spring early summer this year.

Possible easy trail ride with a brewery lunch or tailgate after. Mohican State park area seems to be a good location.

If you will allow a GX along, (sorry!) I'm the self appointed Mohican area HMFIC... got a great route around the area on dirt and abandoned roads that never disappoints.... tons of cool old infrastructure and river views...

If modern era 4wds are no bueno I can get you a route sheet if you want to include some of the roads.

Definitely welcome. Is late spring or early summer better for your route?

Generally a little more wet in the spring which keeps the dust at bay and also makes it a bit more fun, but it's doable any time.

Would be great having someone that knows the area well, thanks Mark.

I can make time whenever so if you guys set it up with your schedule I'll be there, just give me a week or so notice.

Our next step will be to set the date.

Wrapping up @Chungas Revenge ‘s Aqualu ‘76

Knuckles, brakes, rear axle bearings, diff gaskets , @Racer65 Electric Power Steering, Steering wheel refresh and a combo of Old Air, AC/Heat in the interior paired with Vintage Air components in the engine bay.

Not a lot of room on a 40. Will clean her up and send her for an AC charge and Alignment.

Thank you- we are finally getting a few good days to get them out to stretch.

Did this ride ever happen? I have been looking to get the 40 on some easy trails.

@mchlhmltn, it did not. I had a lot going on with the family and @Jdc1 had a packed schedule at his shop so it fell by the wayside. I'd still be up for something this fall if schedules allow.

I need to get out of Aug/Sept and then can get something “official” on the books.

My offer of guiding a Mohican area loop still stands.... Also happy to do one or two people by themselves if a group thing is not obtainable...

My schedule is unpredictable and tough to plan. But you mentioned that you had a route sheet? Is that something (like a PDF) you could post here if I get lucky and can make it up that way on my own.

I don't have a route sheet per se.... It's all in my head. However I can make one, listing road names and turns sort of enduro style, if you want. I use a GPS but only to give my location and not to track so I don't have gpx files or anything either.

If you like I will build a sheet.

All- things have been crazy lately in a good way. I now have access to Terrain Tamer parts and will be putting together an order for the Parabolic 2" lift kits. I have about 50 miles on one and definitely an upgrade. PM me if you are interested, savings on shipping will be significant. I have access to the whole catalogue so feel free to reach out if anything else is needed, it's probably time to do your knuckles....
