Driving south on Tucson through Broadway today (8/22) and saw a sweet beige/goldish 60-series with Car-Top-Tent going north. We waved but curious if it was anybody here (I have a lifted 4Runner with TJM bumper).

Nice rig ... I've met a few folks here in Tucson, but still fairly new to Toyotas.:cheers:

Cool, thanks for the wave. How was the fishing?
 
Fishing went as usual, I enjoyed watching everyone around me pull out trout after trout while I complained about my flies, gear and why I don't have a boat or at least a tube. But, at least it was peaceful for a couple of minutes until the boys found me.
The RTT is great Thanks! Rob. My only grip comes in the wee hours of the morning helping my bare foot wife down an 7', WET, ladder and trying to reassure her it's Cool. It will be on my trailer soon.

By the way my 60 will be on the market very soon if anyone is looking.

Ohh yeah, Thanks for the Flies Jake they worked like a charm!! J/K

O the engine is the one that loves to gobble up my cash. 2F (which is whats supposed to be in it BMAN) :), the good news is, there's barely anything left to replace. I think I'm going through a Mid Cruiser Crisis. Part of me wants to start a new project and get an 80/450, but then after I start adding up receipts and thinking of all the time spent and good times I've had with this truck and then I add up a few more receipts I crash. I've started a listing for it twice, but I just can't seem to get it done.

Jake. I think there was a certain age and gender the fish were attracted to, because the 60ish retired women floating in tube was catching a million fish.
Every time I would start thinking I was close I would hear "O Jessus Whooo look at that" and she would pull one out. I watched her rake in at least 5 or 6 trout n about 90mins. I really wanted to throw something in her direction. It wouldn't have matter if I was fishing with a stick of dynamite I think it just wasn't my day. I
might tag along on your
FJ trip if that is cool.

I hear ya man. I would honestly be pretty hard pressed to part with mine. There's no way in hell I would get anything near what I've sunk into it either.

Out of the mouths of babes...

Don't knock till you've tried it. Having owned my 40 with a V8 and ridden in a 60 with a 2f there was not a 2nd thought about doing the swap immediately upon purchase. The biggest problem with my build was having 2 kids during the process. That and the fact that I don't like to pay for anything and therefore spent countless hours doing things myself. Oh and the fact that I'm to friggin proud to ask for help and wasted countless more hours chasing demons.
 
Ahh just poking the Bear (or BMAN) I would look into it if my 2F threw a rod or something worse. I did think of a good sticker for ya tho
"It's a V8 thing, you wouldn't understand BwardeAZ"
 
Nah, that's too much like the gay "heep thang" thing. Besides, it's a V8 thing because I DO understand.

What motor in your 60? If I found the right 60, I'd be 1/2 interested in trading my 80. I wish I could afford to have both.

Actually it's running quite nicely. Shifting and cooling nicely too. Need the AC hooked up now.
