When are people going? I'm flying to LA to pick up another 80 (93 3x locked) and making the journey back through Salt Lake City, Wyomings, etc. Could possibly be persuaded...
Hello all. My name is Lucas and I have an 83 FJ60 that i've had for about 2 years now. Been fixing her up a bit over that time. Hopefully can get together with some of you sometime. Just joined TLCA today too.
Hello,
My name is Brent Moore, I live in Newhall (15 min west of CR). I grew up on a farm south of Williamsburg.
I can say my first rig was a heep. Until I saw a FJ40 for sale on the way to the farm one day, I fell in love. I sold the heep and bought the 40.
The 40 was a 1973 all original from Colorado. It had thrown a rod on I-80. With the tow bill and storage fee the owner signed it over to the tow company. I soon bought a 76 for parts. Besides tearing the 73 all apart, that is about all I got done.
Five years later I find a 68 from a local guy, his son had bought it in the military and had lost interest. I bought the 68 and I wasn't going to let this waste. I got it running and spent the winter doing body work then paint in the summer.
With the bug, I took the 73 frame and started setting it up with reverse shackle, spring over, saginaw, and a chevy V-8. Had it blasted and painted. Put the disc axles off the 76 on it with a Cut-n-turn. Then added monte carlo discs for the rear.
When doing this I had spun a bearing in the 2F which is now in the 68. SOOOO, I did a body swap. 68 on 73 frame. Had problems with the steering and brake master, It took alittle longer to do but well worth it. I have a couple more things to do before I can do any serious offroad. I still work on it daily.
Thanks,
