Its ashame to see the condition. I grew up not far from Talladega and know how many people a race brings in. I was amazed at how small it was and where everyone would park at.

Hi Nikolai, they aren't too bad for noise. I see you're in Auckland, welcome to meet up with you somewhere and you can come for a drive. I used soundmat in my front footwells, gbox tunnel and front pair of doors. So that helps, if I wind down the window then I hear them more. I was worried about it, I luckly drove a friend's 100 series with these tyres so I knew they were good. I went ahead anyway.....and I'm glad it did. They're very good and I have been impressed with them on the road, gravel, river bed rocks, hard rocky tracks and now also (yesterday) 16 to 18 psi in the sand was also not bad. I had the least trouble out of a bunch of trucks all other 3 on Mickey Thompsons AT3's (and one on MT).

Hard one this week - new fuel cap from Mr Yota. Anyone know if the old cap was OE? Doesn't look like any other Toyota cap I've seen and I can't see the TEQ or any other markings on it.

Definitely not OEM. It looks to be some type of locking cap that has been gutted out.

Awesome, thanks. I'll let you know - need CFO approval first!

you have a total clamps set for the 80? all of them?
Picked up a companion for the cruiser a couple weeks ago and finally got to test it out. I was barely able to keep it at 70 on the interstate with stock gears and 37s, but it did better than I thought it would.
Thanks to Kevin at Wagongear, got my cb antenna mount installed and my imaf installed, replacing my busted antenna.
Buried the multiplexer up behind the glove box, fits just barely! Happy to report an/fm is very strong and get a very fast HD Radio lock, now to buy a cb for the ashtray.

Drove 1000 miles to Moab, wheeled her, and drove 1000 miles back without missing a beat! The subtank is one of my favorite mods on long road trips. 420 miles+ on a fill up makes long drives a little more tolerable.
3rd Cruise Moab in a row and I cannot recommend it enough. Well organized, fun, and full of great people that are helpful and a delight to spend a day on the trail with. I'll be back again next year...

Looks like a blast! I missed the last two years but gotta do it next year. What trails you do?

Definitely is always a blast! I ran Elephant Hill and Top of the World this year, had to drive back on Saturday, so no trail run that day.
Elephant Hill has some fun wheeling, but it also has incredible hiking trails ( the Joint Trail) through slot canyons and caves. My wife's favorite part of the whole week.
Really, every trail I have been on in Moab has been amazing. Wish it was closer to us!

What steelies are those? Diggin em
Thanks Fj cruiser on spacers
Oh nice. They looked different in that photo than the ones i've seen!
Passed the 315k mark on a road trip.
Also replaced the hood and hatch lift supports, should have replaced these a long time ago! No more head bonks.
Also saw this license plate while in traffic. I'd be grumpy too if I had to drive around in a CRV.

Degreased and painted the rear axle this weekend.
All I can say is I am glad I have a good core as you can't lie down and you can't sit up when painting the axles when its on jack stands
. I also think the kerosene for degreasing destroyed a few brain cells

Installed a rear camera and changed the speedo cable. No more angry cable noise.
