You win! I'm so sorry to see this. I'm assuming the 100 series didn't like the way the trailer was loaded, the tail started wagging the dog and this is the end result?
What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

It didn't like how it was loaded once one of the tires popped. It made one wag before barrel rolling two times.
I am so sorry to hear of your losses. I lost Daisy my GSD over a year ago, I still miss her. She was my buddy. Went all over with me.

Self-inflicted! That’s a good title for a chat thread. I think I’ll start one.

Nice rack, do you like it? It’s make?
thanks
man, now that's a national tragedy!
It's a Bowfin Cruisers rack. I like it a lot, but I don't use it a ton.
@roma042987 sorry about your losses all around that’s ruff to hear about and see.
I finally started “refreshing” the old rig over the last week. Time to take the top off and see all the rust I need to fix on the back doors and other places…
A nice coat of wax and some painting refresh makes a big difference!

Over built a bracket to mount my 2 gallon air tank. I didnt think I'd have clearance to z bend this bracket on my press so I scored it and tried to use the vice. Got it to fit in the press, but broke off one ear. Welded it back on.
I'm planning on routing via a Wits End manifold to an air chuck up front and one in the rear using DOT air brake line. Since the ID is smaller, I think I also leave a close air chuck with a fat line for air tools and reseating beads.
make some progress ..

I got my '78 40 just before memorial day, it was a 20th wedding anniversary gift for my wife and it's been a marathon of work. My spreadsheet shows 104 repairs/adjustments made since getting it home. From hooking up the oil pressure sender and brake light switches - just unplugged! To patching the rear ambulance door lower latch area, it's been a project for sure. Even sewed a new transfer case shifter boot. Biggest win so far has been trouble shooting a stalling when warmed up issue, of course of my own making. Sorted that out today after getting the oil pan back on and fresh oil in it. Thanks to Mud I've been able to get a ton more done than I could have with out this resource, so thanks to everyone for posting your tricks and tips and problems and solutions, Greatly appreciated. Still burning some oil and a lot of work to go but for now, just need to get it registered before the local Forest Fair/4th of July parade and we'll be good to go.

Ouch, I hadn't seen this before Roma. Hopefully everyone was okay. Looked like a couple of very nice cruisers. Tuesday 100 series much easier to replace than the 40 series. Looks like you have a engine and full floating axle strapped down. Even though I don't have brakes when I flat tow I perfer to my car hauler. That did look like a sweet 79+ FJ40. Nice roof rack and one of 4+ brush guard. Hopefully was an 83. 79/80?
That actually happened in 2015. The 40 was a 75 model that my friend Tucker and I spent 3 years restoring. Shouldn't have even been on the trailer, we were headed to Moab and decided to ride together in the 100. We reincarnated it one could say with some undamaged parts and another 75 that was 24 units newer. The new one got an h55f, hz diesel, and cable locked axles front and back. V2 is actually a better rig.
One on the left here. We finished it 2016 or 2017
Tucker ended up putting an ARB bumper on it and a Bowfin roof rack and I think the only other thing that changed was the addition of some FJ company aluminum reproduction 16'' wheels.
