[Skniper]

Took the and the pup for a little snow/sightseeing wheelin. Snow was really hard and crusty but the views were spectacular. Even saw some petroglyphs and a giant turtle (well at least a rock that looked like one)

Beautiful. I saw a croc or a gator first, then noticed the turtle.

Funny, now that you mention it, I see them also.

Put in a 62 grab bar.

Saw that club and immediately thought, another New Mexico Cruiser. We are THE car theft capital. But Oakland? O.K. I get it I grew up near there. When I put my club on in other states people usually just laugh.

where is this? I wouldn't mind cruising up the 395 and checking it out.

Universal Joints at the Bluegrass Land Cruisers TLCA meeting.

Replaced with Marlin Crawler's u-joints and fixed a light 50-55 mph vibration!

That Blue Pig is awesome! One day I will own one of those.

Had some 33x10.5s mounted. With stock gearing I really only notice the added rubber on starts and highway inclines, but I'm always able to maintain 65-70 if needed when the carb secondary opens up.

She's a beaut! Tires look great.

It is Chidago Canyon Rd. You can access it from Hwy.6, just north of Chalfant. It goes all the way through to Benton Crossing Rd., but the snow is too deep right now. It would be a great run in spring. Don't hesitate to let me know if you are coming this way, maybe we can wheel together.

Installed 80 series rear shoulder belts in my early FJ62. Definitely a nice upgrade from the old factory lap belts!

Big thanks to @Kleatus , who welded in some reinforcing plates for the retractor mounts since they were just mounted to thin body sheet metal.

Install is 90% there (still need to fiddle with one of the anchors). Still need to finish a couple small things, and wait until warmer weather to paint the exposed metal to ensure long-term rust prevention. Big thanks to @beno for helping with the parts hunting and acquisition, @NookShneer for all the advice and urging me to stop talking and just cut the damn metal, and @TRAIL TAILOR for helping source the OEM 60 series retractor covers!

Got my front and rear add aleafs installed. No more “cruiser lean”

One of my favorite rigs on this forum. Beautiful.

Lets see, last few weekends I:

1. rebuilt half of my power steering box to address my manual steering on 37s for 900 miles. I blew a seal out on my power steering box in Big Bend in early January and didn't fix it til a week or two ago. The truck is my current daily driver too. great arm workout.

2. rescued a honda odyssey going down a 4x4 only road becasue they were following GPS

3. Replaced the U-Joint in my drive shaft so that I could put my trail spare yoke back into my trail spare box.

4. Took poser pictures for instagram and here

Looks like a stream in the Ozarks

Good eye. It is in fact the Buffalo NR in the heart of the Ozarks. Joys of Fed life. I get to go all over the place in one of my Land Cruiser and get paid. Ill be sad when I am stuck in one spot for more than 6 months at a time and settle down.

I know the Buffalo. Head east over to the Blanchard Springs area N of Mt. View and do some roaming around. More good country.

 

[wngrog]

Not much....just drove it 2500 miles with 300 of them being off road.

Where did you buy the AAL from?

Needs an H55F. It's the best of both worlds with Texas roads.

Cruiseroutfitters has them!

I put gas in it...The significance of that is my wife had driven Elsie (my FJ62) earlier in the day and when I got in and started it the gas gauge did not move at all. Luckily I was able to make it the 1 mile to the gas station to fill up. When I returned home I asked her if she noticed it was out of gas. Her response "no, I don't even know where the gas gauge is on that thing."

Does she realize that “that thing” Is one of the best vehicles ever made?
