As reported above, went out to Anza Borrego with @Dan2722 , @bushdoctor, and a...ahem...Nissan. Always a good time!
Camped in a spot not accessible to the ~1.5 million suburbanites out looking for flowers
@bushdoctor had a friend bring some of these 80 KPH stickers from Kenya. They are meant to indicate the max speed of commercial/heavy vehicles. If you're behind my HDJ81 going up a long mountain pass, consider yourself warned.
@Dan2722 getting his flex on
Camera tilted slightly for that hard core off road effect (you're welcome, @bushdoctor )
Some pranksters put a sticker on my truck. That'll be fun to remove.
Even had a chance to take some drone footage. Exceedingly uninteresting video here for those interested.
Tried to do TREs.
Soaked in acetone/ATF for a good week before attempting.
Relay rod was easy. Tie rod itself both ends are not coming out. Heated multiple times, reefed on with pipe wrenches and 250lb of dude jumping on them and nothing.
Gonna order Slee HD rods since they cost about the same as oem.

Try heating with a torch then spraying with PB blaster once its hot next time. Also try to tighten first then loosen.
I'm enjoying the photo montage that ends with a mud salute!

Don't stand next to recovery gear when in use and use a damper (a coat or jacket will save your windshield or FACE)!It was a good weekend! I’ve owned my 91 FJ80 since September and have spent all time and effort (well almost) just trying to get her to run and drive the way she should... this Sunday I took the family out to Browns Camp and played in the snow! Even got to use my winch and pulled an F150 out!!

Recommend you posting this in the 3fe owner check-in thread.And now for something completely different... anyone with a 3fe ever have your idle race? Run high that is? She comes down every now and again. I have checked for a vacuum leak and she’s tight. I did notice that the CSI when removed leaked under gravity so I am thinking that might be a part of the problem? I unplugged it and the idle stayed pretty high. I have inspected the ISC and it’s in great shape (19 Ohms across all contacts) I need to do a fuel pressure leak test and that might tell me more but that’s this upcoming weekend... just wondering if anyone has ever had this issue.
We explored the Galiuro Mountains and climbed some steep hills.
