Head gasket just let go on my 93 daily driver at 260k miles....with authority i might add.
I got 80k miles and 10 years out of it but it has a bunch of other little issues not looking to repair.

Shopping for another 80.

Greg, do you have an extra engine laying around? Sounds like Brian's got a WHEELER!!

Sorry to hear about the death of the 80 Brian.

And then a locked 94 showed up.
Red.
Typical honest wear and tear for 186k miles.
Alittle high at 4000, but other than some 285 all terrains and running boards removed, its all stock. Purrs like a kitten.
Will transfer all my goodies from the 93 over to this one.
Has leather, that im not a fan of. I just cant get comfortable in them. Give me cloth everyday.

Congrats!

Is that the one that has been on Craigslist?

 

[brian]

It's coming together!! Here's another video from @OTRAMM doing the valve stem seals, thanks Ryan! Can't wait to get the truck back

 

[brian]

Paperwork straight.
Just spent the last hour going over it.
Should serve me well.

Will this replace the FJC?

Will this replace the FJC?

Yes it will. Hadn’t planned on a change but this deal was too good to pass on.

Ordered used transfer case for the 80. Keeping the old one and going to order Marlin low low.

 

[brian]

Hung a pretty clean fj62 door on the 87.
Freshened up the seals, runs and regulator...along with a minor dechrome.

But couldnt be bothered with wiping the dust off it before taking a picture.

Had the 40 out this morning and must say I appreciate having the Dakota Digital dash. Accurate gauges and lighting good enough to be able to read them in all conditions. Have had this for four years now and it was a great investment.

Next project is to possibly resurrect the goat pig, pictured here under a car cover. I got the truck from Eric Oldenburg it has a front axle issue but runs strong what with a Jasper 350 in it with only 30000 miles on the clock. Was Tom Humphries' truck for years and apparently has quite the land cruiser history in it- check out the old Lobster Fab sticker!

Been thinking about getting a more solid 55 body to transfer the running gear to but so far haven't done anything about that. My nephew Zach would love to have the 350 in his 40, ya never know if that could happen or not. The 55 is (probably terminally) rusty and I have no plans to make it into even a presentable driver. Having said that it is still PA inspected until late this year! Stay tuned............

Garage progress!

Ready for shingles tomorrow:

Lift bay with 16.5' headroom. Will have to get a custom TALL lift, but should be about to put one LC on top and drive another under:

At the very least. Looks like you can use the lumber from that tree to build another garage if needed....
