What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (18 Viewers)

You can keep the snow Jim. Sitting at 47° here with fog and drizzle. We did however recieve 5" of much needed rain since early Saturday morning.

I agree - moisture good / snow bad.

Our place is high enough to see way out over the Raton Basin. Over the last several days I've seen some big storms out in your direction. We got 0.9" of rain out of one of them.

While going on a long highway test drive around the Valley (testing out LRA 40G fuel tank) I learned just how much my odometer is off with my relatively modest 31-inch tires!

Enjoying the cool weather here in southern AZ (80F), so I took the old gal out for a 60mi cruise.

Today I finally picked up the 4plus bumper from @Rustic76. Toured his awesome collection of Landcruisers which was worth it by itself.

It’s just been cluttering up the garage floor and had I just enough time to go and get it.

Got back to shop and was too excited to just drop off the bumper and leave. Got tools out and removed the old rivets and bracket for the stock bumper. Set the 4plus in its new home.

My dad took my 60 out to check out the colors and then sent me this photo while I was working in California... Can't tell if I am home sick or cruiser sick.

Couldn’t pass it up for 600 bucks!

Two things this last week.
First was new clutch and related parts. 20 years of service from when the original owner did the 350 swap in 98. Upgraded and corrected many "half a$$ed" things.
Second was install the @dnp carpet kit. Spent the day in the barn with @BombCity, thanks for the help Big Bro. This is one of the best improvements I have done. So much quieter now.
Many thanks to @CenTXFJ60 , @mcguirejohnson , @fl4031003 and all the folks at SAS #2 for this carpet kit.

Thanks CD. Hard to believe it came home like this about 2.5 years ago. It's my DD now and man is it a joy to drive.

I found myself in exhaust manifold purgatory. What a PITA. My manifolds are pretty out of whack. I'll have to go see Powderpig on monday. Glad I took the egr cooler apart though...

Reminds me of this lifted red Land Cruiser I know. Very nice.

Last week I removed the FJ62 front bumper which I had temporarily installed on my '86 FJ60 before heading up to the 2018 Solid Axle Summit in Ouray. The bumper came from my '89 FJ62 donor vehicle and is going to a new home in Texas @Michael Hanson. I had the replacement Warn winch bumper parts powder coated earlier this summer @89BIGBLUE and was waiting on the last of the new stainless steel hardware to show up in yesterday's mail.

If the rain stops for a while I'll install the new bumper today, before the first snow of the season starts to accumulate tonight.

While waiting for the hardware my wife and I headed up to the mountains above town to soak in some nature.

The San Miguel Mountains, with the Sandia Mountains above Albuquerque in the far right distance.

Pajarito Mountain, home to the local ski area.

Redondo Peak, at 11,254 feet, the highest point in the NPS Valles Caldera National Preserve.

The Valle Grande, largest of the valles in the Preserve, with Chicoma Peak in the background. Chicoma Peak, at 11,561 feet, is the highest point in the Jemez Mountains.

Next time we head up into the mountains it'll be in the '86 FJ60 .
