Over the last two weeks overhauled the fuel system. 62 40 gallon long range tank, in tank pump, new hoses, clamps, AN fuel line from the tank to the efi, 100 series gas cap.
My eight year old and I went out on a salamander catching trip. He’s all about amphibians and Reptiles. All released unharmed after some observation.
Barred tiger salamander larvae
Definitely! They are pretty cool creatures.
Waiting for trail time at SAS.

Are you going to start making those rear hatch handles?

No, this is from another MUD vendor. 80 section. I had to modify it to fit.

Land Cruiser Handles
The OCD tailgate & barndoor handles will replace the cheap plastic handle that often break on the older Cruiser's. Our handle is machined from 6061 billet, matching OEM spline, and comes with new hardware. Compatibility: 60 Series 80 Series 70 Series 100 Series LX470 LX450 *Please make sure to...

Rear wiper hasnt worked since I got the rig so pulled everything apart to find the issue - turned out to be two broken wires in the gland between the body and the hatch but also found the bracketry of the motor also has some issues....
sadly dont have a welder so couldnt fix it properly now but will get to it eventually.....
Went for a few days camping trip with my brother. The trip was cut short when on day one I heard an awful metal on metal sound while twisted up, on a steep incline at 11,000 ft. I managed to back up and get turned around. I noticed when descending an off camber shelf road that the noise went away with the clutch disengaged. So I took it out of gear and descended the sketchy shelf road riding the brakes and praying the whole time. We got to a flat spot and I removed the rear drive line (or is it shaft?). Drove to find a camp and then 80ish miles home the next day in front wheel drive. She still hasn't left me stranded 
One really cool thing, on the way down we passed a bunch of 60's, 40's, 45's and a few 80's that were going up. Turns out it's SAS week! It was cool the see all the awesome rigs in the mountains.

Where did you find the seats? I’m in Phoenix too, and am looking for a set.
Got the MOT done, the FJ is now road worthy. Still needs some work but paperwork for registration is done

cleaned the interior a little and thought about how to arrange everything for our Morocco trip. Girlfriend helping out again

Winch support vehicle. @cruiserinsanity picked up a 1st gen 4Runner, FZJ80 was the tow rig and we used the 60 to winch it onto the trailer.
Had the lower dash bezel on my FJ62 crack apart on me when repairing my speedo. It's already been pretty messed up from the PO's hacky stereo job/trailer light switch add on. I found a thread here that recommended using Plastex. While I'm not the most skilled at this yet, it really added back the structural rigidity this piece needed to go back on correctly. Very impressed with the results. Think this one will last a while longer until the Rust Farmers lower dash bezel releases.
