What have you been doing with your Toyota? (3 Viewers)

[Bridger307]

Come on out! We’d love to have you even without a cruiser!

Was that your black 80?

Yup with the Griz sticker and new tires. I will try and make it to the next meeting.. Last one I attended was Linley park in 2018.

 

[Bridger307]

daaanng these are so cool but i hate to sounds like a typical 80 series cheapskate there has to be cheaper options.

Yeah agreed not cheap.. been stashing tax refund cash for a few years to finally make this happen. Sent shivers up my spine cutting into the tailgate with a grinder but heck you only live once!

I don't know why the core support brackets needed to be attached with 8 rivets, but they aren't attached anymore. New brackets with 2" of drop will be designed, laser cut, formed on the CNC brake, and installed next week (I hope). I took the old radiator to the shop in Belgrade and he told me I'd be better off replacing it. I'm holding off on ordering the new radiator until the wife and I bring our new daughter home next month.

So I decided tonight was the night to go through my gear for wheeling. I have used 3 tanker style bags for at least 8-10 years now. Sheesh, I need an intervention. I think I have tossed random things in over the years without considering what was already in there.

A few highlights…

• 8 road flares, 2 marine flares, 1 aria flare… 11 flares!
• About 15 hose clamps mostly the same size.
• At least 50 nitrile gloves stashed throughout all three bags.
• Found my bailing wire and a thank you note from 2012
• 3 rolls of electrical tape, 2 rolls of duct tape, 3 rolls of Teflon tape.
• 2 full sets of screw driver bits.

Scratch my previous post. My 40 is on hold until further notice. My new copilot has decided that right now is a good time to be born. I'll be on the first flight to Denver this morning.

Safe travels Seth and good luck!

Swapped out the snow tires for the 3 season wheels. If it snows tonight then you are welcome.... provided you wanted the snow.

No zip ties? You can't fix anything with that stuff....

All of a sudden your cruiser will be getting 20 mpg for some reason.....

After consulting with the lady on the moon it was decided before I cut up this rig it would be a good gopher truck.

Took my youngest son (12) on a quick spring itch scratcher, Corbly Gulch, this morning before the storm. Short run but has really good little sections.

 

[REZARF]

Looks good @finally where is that one?

Another prep day for Moab…

• Changed the oil
• Fixed my rear shock stone shield
• Replaced rear sway bar end link
• Adjusted the parking brake per the factory manual and WOW!
• Rotated the tires
• Found two nails in one tire… it’s holding air. Off to Interwest tire Monday.

All before the snow came in… getting there.

Hey @REZARF it’s a good ways out Spring Hill, but not as far as Flathead Pass, on FS land at base of Bridgers. The trail is only about a mile long to the trailhead for hiking/Mtn biking but has some nice tight technical and deep rutted sections. A good bit of it is south facing, so it’s really just an early season slow shakedown type run. It’s enjoyable, just short . Most people park at bottom and walk or Mtn bike the mile to the trailhead, but when I wheeled to the trailhead yesterday there was an FJ Cruiser parked up there and must have been out hiking / shed hunting.

Is that by springhill church? I’ve been up there hiking and the trip to the upper parking lot is fun if it is the same place.

Picked it up after Sailor did a few things. Have a few more PM things. Before it gets shipped out for summer work.

 

[ttFJC]

First camp out. Also first time I opened the gofastandfurious since July. Morning veiws

 

[Bowser]

Another summer. Another time to pull shinny red things out of storage.

 

[finally]

Digging the handy dandy 406 Cruisers Trasharoo. Nice work to the club admins for pulling this through. This is will be a functional bag for wheeling season and represents the club well.

Looking good Mitch! You might have got the first one mounted.
