Another 82 owner... They do rust?
A great flashback, having enjoyed Steve and Suzy's hospitality myself (also courtesy of the 3FE list). Is Steve here on Mud? I don't recall seeing or at least recognizing him here.

Damn...
Totally sucked in.
You weave an awesome story, sir...

Evening Cuz.
Yessir, scroll up a bit. Steve's last post is a couple up from yours.
Steve = Overhanger
Welcome to the never ending story. Did you just leap in, or start on page one? There's actually some order to this tale. Not much, but some.
And thanks. Back at ya.![]()
Oh my.... I have so many things to say. I had no idea.
And my extremely 1981 FJ40 is now prepped for paint and panels on Monday. Unless you'd like to drive it to Hawaii. Or off a cliff.

Lee, you said the turtle came from Austin and that Yooper had seen it for sale on MUD. Any idea who the seller was? Do we know him?
Yes, I know him, or knew him at the time of the sale in 2005. He had to sell The Turtle because he and his wife had another bun in the oven and they needed a comfortable family vehicle. IIRC he bought a Scion. He told me that he'd probably never buy another Land Cruiser because it had been so painful parting with his beloved 40. That's a story I didn't even put into this thread, picking up The Turtle and driving away with he and his wife and 5 year old son standing in front of their house looking like a family member had just died. I know he isn't on MUD, hasn't been since the sale.
This one single thing alone would endear your dad to me; I wish more people were like this.
My dad had the exact same rule! It still hampers my diet in restaurants and my weight to this day. What growing up in the Great Depression will do to you I guess.
