Spent a few hours in the mountains with my Brother in law and our families over the weekend. Always good to get a little dirt therapy.

Nice set up! Hope you're ready for 9 MPG, but it is a very comfortable and cool ride. I drove to Moab this year, but the year before I towed.
Ha! Nice! Yah, I probably don't average 9 if I drive the Cruiser itself quite honestly. The comfort of the Tundra over the '93 Cruiser is night and day. I set the cruise all of the way across Kansas even when towing a trailer and Cruiser weighing around 7000 lbs.

Kansas sounds a lot flatter than the Sierras, so maybe you'll get into the 10's. Sounds like a fun trip, I'm jealous!
Yeah, but he'll be on the "11" on the boredom scale.......
True. They’ve got a great stretch of I-70 though with regards to pavement quality. That, and the windmill generators are kinda fun. Lol.

"Spirit of the Radio" NICE!!!! How you like that head unit?
I have literally set my cruise control at 95 MPH and an hour later was still looking at the same farmyard light in the same place......on our way to Holcomb.
Ha. Sounds about right.

Overall it's been great. Had it about 3 years now. Lately it's done a couple weird things like randomly reboot, but otherwise it's a good unit.
Finished the OEM center console install for the 80 series thankfully after many days of working on the install fridge is working amazingly. In testing my warm water bottle was ice cold within 15 mins. Very useful gonna get a lot of use out this unit.

Don’t want to lose the discontinued original keys so got a vintage looking one that works.
Redgrrr
I have a problem with 40s
Can’t take credit for the fab work or planning but I’ll be adding Tube work very soon to the center section.
4th through the 9th spent with the cruiser in Cape Cod. 1st time out with the new to me fridge. So nice to have cool all the time,
no ice needed.
Got a slide for easy access. Shown here @ Marconi Beach for surfing.

Nice & clean... looking forward to the outcome of this project.

Nice, I can tell it is slower..... now its time to do Soup Bowl again, but a bit slower than last time Eh?

When I bought my 94 it came with the original keys. All the doors unlocked and it started fine but I could not unlock the hatch with the key. I thought that the cylinder was damaged. I got a new Toyota key blank and had the dealer cut me a new key from the VIN and like magic the hatch lock worked!

finally installed a set of KC cyclones under truck 6 total as rock lights wiring runs thru frame where possible all armored protected. And kept them one a factry switch and fused through the bussman fuseblock under the hood. ended up drilling and tapping 1/4-20 for mounting.
