Thank you! Yeah - that was a long weekend, and long couple of weeks after as well. I too am waiting on parts - need to do my knuckles and a wide variety of seals and gaskets! A Wichita get together sounds good to me - I am always up for wrenching.

My name's Carl, I live in Leawood,Kansas, right next to the Missouri/Kansas boarder, I drive a white fj62 called Tojo, its my first car and I love it and am already addicted to LandCruisers. It needs a fare amount of work done to just about everything. All I have on it now are 31 BFG's, going to do some engine work first, then plan on getting an ARB bullbar.

Email me any suggestions you guys have for what I should do to it at: carlcruiser@gmail.com :D

Cool, welcome Carl & Tojo! Look forward to meeting you, and giving free advice on what to spend your money on :D
 
Well I figured i post in here. My name is Matt and I am from virginia but out here for work. I am living right off barry road north of zona rosa. I work for the army and i am on travel 365 a year. I havn't been on the boards much because i never have a land cruiser with me because its just too hard to travel with one. so the 40 has been in storage for the last 4 years. I have been out here since last of april first of may. My fiance is out here with me and she was wanting something to drive around town since her suv isn't out here and i am always in the f250 and the silverado ss is a show/race truck and its hardly leaves the garage. So we found the 60 and she wanted it so we bought it and i get to drive it and fix it up and spend money on it. so i have been back on the boards and getting back into the cruiser world.

Welcome Matt. You have myself and Britklr that lives right around this area. He is just off Barry road a tad east of you, and I am just a little south, closer to 64th Street.

Maybe we can get together sometime. I'm forever working on one of my rigs.

I'm assuming Ex, you are in Clay County? If so I'm about 25 miles or so from there.

Carl,

Welcome. I live in your neck of the woods. (103rd and Lee) Good to have you on board.

Scott P.
 
Good to know Scott. Kind of an odd question, but have you seen a blue FJ60 around? I have seen it on three different occasions, one time coming off of Lee onto 103rd....

-Carl
 
Well I geuss I will say Hello,

My name is TJ and I just bought a 68 FJ40 off Mud. I will be asking lots of Questions, The 40 has chevy V8 of some kind, does not really matter beacuse of the hole's in the oil pan where 2 of the rods tried to escape:) would have been nice for the guy selling it to mention that! It has all the typical rust but its not real bad.

Welcome back Creachr. I'm sure you're plenty familiar with the area, but don't rule out Newton which would put you in the middle of family & wichita, and has great schools. A lot of great cruiser-heads in the Wichita area. Hope you have a smooth move. :D
