I don’t know where that is, this was BLM around Socorro and Quebradas.

Wrapped up 2025 with a big Oregon coast trip for some sand camping, dune and beach driving and general unplugged-ness. Made one questionable decision to plow through a flooded UTV track behind a big dune, but 100 yards of headlight-depth wading later, my truck, family and gear all survived. For a second I was sure I was going to hydrolock the motor and have to swim for it, but all it cost me was one low beam headlight bulb, and one semi-emergent run for the pit toilet for a code brown once we got back to the trailhead.
So in that spirit I promptly made a New Year's resolution to do less really, really dumb s**t in 2026, while still enjoying what life has to offer!

Rebuilt the front axle, built a truss, added dobinson springs in the front. More tomorrow!
1997 landcruiser tripple locked.
For someone that is interested. Pretty clean. Wife would not be happy if I buy another LC and Ls swap it.

Put on some new shoes this week
I like how the gold matches the trim lines on the body - looks sweet. What'd you end up doing with the OEM wheels? I could use a full size spare . .
Just a little weekend fun.
Welcome to the cool kids club!
I just did my first oil change since fixing my "generous" valve cover and spark plug tube oil leaks, and I just went 5K miles with zero change in oil level, confirming no drips and no burning oil.
I used to do that regularly, but my slow oil leaks started 7+ years ago, and I had to add increasing amounts between changes. It's great to get a new read and confirm that at 207K my 1FZ-FE is still running strong and clean.

I’ve had my rig for 4+ years now. I knew nothing about 80 series before. But now I can say that my truck is 100% functional. Since I do everything myself, I can only benefit from my own questioning and all the valuable infos from you guys. I always thought odd that when in low range I never saw the CDL indication on the dashboard. But hey… I was wrong! After all the troubleshooting I discovered that my center lock actuator harness was not fully engaged. One click later I now have light in the dash and my differential is locking. Not bad after 4 years! I comfort myself by saying that my truck is getting younger. I wish I was an 80 series!
Stage 2 kit or you chose to include an IC with the stage 1 kit. Looking good!
New brakes all the way around, bled and sitting on new dobinsons springs no shocks yet. Will check shock lengths tomorrow trying to maximize my travel so didn't opt for off the shelf sizes yet.
