Finally got some JIS screwdrivers. Plus a gas cap. Plus a VC120 charcoal canister.

Started to replace my stock charcoal canister, and the d*mned thing started working again.

So now, I guess I have a back up charcoal canister. Poop. That's $50 I wish I had back....

What JIS screwdrivers are those? I need to get some...

I've toted a few lovelies as well. Most notably Jessica Simpson (yes, THAT Jessica Simpson) when I lived in Dallas. As well as Jessica Hall when she was "Miss Makita", before Playboy. I'll let you google her. Don't do it from your work computer...

Those are Hosan, remarketed by Stanley.

I had to go with those because no one else would ship to an APO, and Germans don't understand JIS.

And yeah, I think it must be the Landcruiser. Or maybe it's the beard?

 

[NLXTACY]

It's the beard!!! The LC just seals the deal

Ok, weird as crap. Just now on the way home, my series 80 picked an apple.

I was taking another route home, on a really sketchy trail, when I came upon an abandoned orchard. Lots of apple, pear and plum trees. I had to scrape through one tree that overgrew the road, when this apple came in through the driver side window and bonked me in the face.

BTW, it tasted wonderful.

Take it easy. That apple doesn't come from Texas.

Just traveling around for the last two years But don't be jealous. We are working 6 days a week to be able to live like this. But yes, we have a great life!!! Originally we are from the Netherlands, but lived at the edge of the jungle in Suriname, in the north of South America, for 9 years. And after all our children left the nest, we decided to start traveling through South America. So we bought this Cruiser and left. For nice pics and videos, see www.losersinalexus.nl
Text is in Dutch, but pics and videos in English Below a pic of one of the scary roads of our trip, at an altitude of more than 16,000 feet. At my YouTube channel is a video of this trip, which I did when my brother visited me and my wife was in Holland, haha!

Thanx for calling my videos "cool" I still have 600 gigabytes of video on my harddisks, but didn't have time to edit them. In a month we stop traveling, and I hope to get the time to edit more stuff.

parked and waiting for El Nino

I broke down this weekend. My ac belt snapped wich caused my PS belt to come off the pully. Also the transmission line to the cooler decided to split causing me to spray all my tranny fluid out.

Installed the high lift and solar shower arm.

Picked up some stuff for my 80 today. New shocks, new U joints, new hex diff plugs from the front, rear, and center diff.

Found the only four rusted nuts on my 80. They were the bottom nuts on the front shocks and the top nuts on the rear shocks. Interestingly they are only about 7 years old, the rest of my truck is 23 and not rusting. Stupid Rancho shocks. Nothing a grinder and cut off wheel couldn't take care of.

Missing bushing in the shock. Could literally just move the shock around. Ugh. And the shocks are beyond toast. Can't wait to see what she rides like after replacing them.

Also noticed some of the body mounts could use replacing...

Not only changed the oil and filter in my new-to-me 80 for the first time.....but changed oil for the first time in my life! I know its lame, but big step for me. A few action shots:

.......please don't comment on my bare feet....its Hawaii, don't judge me!

I went with the ROTELLA T6.....the only weird thing, the new OEM filter I put on was waaaaaay smaller then the aftermarket one the PO had on there. Big day for this newb!
