What did you do on your 70 series today? (31 Viewers)

Took Righty, my BJ74 out to Anza Borrego State Park on a quick solo camping mission...simple fun and a welcome break from all the transmission and birf rebuild work I've been doing on my 80.

First night somewhere along the way

Moon went up, temperatures went down

Stashed the truck under a tree and went for a short hike

What a fun truck the BJ74 is. So simple and capable.

Love your periodic trips and photo updates! Nice to see you getting out and using it.

Replaced Azul's rotten door cards

Put the vapor barrier on the door, hopefully that will cut down on drafts. Somehow I only ordered 1 so drivers door for now.

I cleaned up the door more, but I didn’t get anymore pictures. they opened the front bottom of the door to fit the speakers.

took Finnick in for a test drive. Terrible photo in the dark, but as you can see big enough to sit on the seat, legs on the floor, head on the dash.

Hit the dirt again for the first time in ~4yrs!

^^^ About time dude!

Whenever I actually drive the BJ 74 I say to myself, man you should really drive this truck more, it is a lot of fun!

I’ve got the boost Adjusted to 12 pounds and it spools up very quickly and smoothly, temps on long hard uphills haven’t exceeded 1150.

I remember reading the 70 Series section before buying the truck and being worried that it would be a bit of a dog. It’s no race car but it is plenty quick for me!

Picked up some parts from Toyota and then had 5spd/RHD training with @CatskillsRunner ..
She’s getting the hang of it!

She really makes that truck look good. She is much better at it than you are.

I've floated the idea of using it as my dd and he could drive the 100 to NYC and Boston. I had my best day in it today; drove it around a parking lot (where we found some movie set vehicles)...

...to get to third and then he let me drive to our brewery and back, which is about an hour of back roads driving.

It is delightful to drive. And it all makes sense to me. I fell in love with that truck before I ever knew what Onur looked like.

Truth!

 

[FJ73Texas]

Onur is a pretty lucky dude.

 

[Gun Runner 5]

Nothing exciting but I now have the appropriate floor mats.

Quick drive before driving my appliance down to work for a week in NYC.

Been mostly appliance (as Onur puts it) driving these days now (Nissan Cube) while my Cruisers spend most of the time in the garage. I am a bad Cruiser owner.

Got my rear bumper with swingout on last weekend. It's a kit from Trail Tailor.

Beautiful. Jason does great work. I run one of his non-tire carrier bumpers.
