The wanting to be him goes away when he posts a pic of himself and not Cruisers...

Did this two weeks ago but I’ve been so focused on getting crap down that I haven’t had time to post up. Honestly I forgot I had done it till I was going thru pics. I’ll do a write up but installed @FloridaFJ80 stearing wheel.

Considering the outfit...I’m shocked there is a mrs. LCP.

Anyone know what gauge the positive battery cables are on a '94 ? I want to fit my flaming river disconnect from @NLXTACY and need to fab up some cables.

If you can’t understand this statement then I really have to question you for owning any model Landcruiser at all. @Dragos80

Some people just don't understand....

Exactly.
I just don't see it.
Looks like an old Jeep. Nothing special there.
Why not a new Wrangler for same stupid money? And you get everything with it too.

Enjoy your new wrangler!

@Aloha Jen spitting fire!

Two new sets of WeatherTech mats. Now all 3 80s have them. Just in time for my 92 to be garaged for the winter!

I need to look into these! I always used Husky liners, but like everything else the quality has dropped tremendously. These liners you have look tight though! Perfect fit from what I can see! Did you order thru Mud Vendor?

The front are great, the rear not so much. I got the 2nd row in Oct. '15 & had to have Weathertech warranty it. The 2nd row is thinner than the fronts & the shape deformed after about 6 months. The new one isn't any thicker & doesn't even fit as well as the first one I got so I'll probably be getting my money back for it. The 2nd row mat reminds me exactly of Husky's, which I think are trash.

I ordered them through Weathertech’s website.

I only buy the fronts because of what @LFD2037 said. Plus I don’t have people in the back seat often. Or ever in my 93 (no second row seats). I keep a couple of towels in each rig just in case.

You ever go wheeling with brand new JKUs? I do, mostly to drag them back to a road where CAA (AAA) can find them. With my 23 year old rig.

Just looking at the heinous suspension setup makes me turn my head. Not a fan.

Oh, and I don't have to be a Toyota fanboy and like everything they built. I can pick and choose what I like and what I don't. Because, you know... I'm an individual not a citizen of North Korea. I don't like everything Mercedes, or everything Porsche, or whatever. I like certain things and I dislike others. A 40 falls in the "others" category.


PS
I also happen to absolutely hate Lexus GS350
Huge POS. Got one in the garage. So my opinion is not based on youtube research.

I think there's just a certain charm to classic cars.

A 2017 chevy malibu is probably better in every single way (and faster) than a 1972 Porsche 911s, but I wouldn't have much trouble choosing

I get that a 40 isn't for every cruiser fan. However, most that I have interacted, as well as my own experience, once you spend some time driving one for a bit of time there is a connection that develops. 40's have a character that most newer vehicles just don't have. No arguing that typical SUA leaf springs aren't gonna ride great, they're noisy, drafty, slow....all of the things you mentioned. There are solutions for those things. In the end a Jeep Wrangler of any type has never, nor will ever have the same character of an FJ40. The fact that a massive number of wranglers are driven by women, and there are very very few women that drive 40s should also tell you something.

I'm with you though, I don't like everything from Toyota, eh...FJCruiser, or from any other brand. So just to be clear, I'm not trying to convince you that your opinion of 40s is wrong. It's fine for you but I'm one that definitely feels differently about them.
