Addressed a dent that was filled with bondo. It impacted a fairly large area because this was obviously a hard it. Some things were pushed in, or up, or out. I always find it interesting how things shift when they get damaged. It’s 90% better. The edge profile is a little sharper than it should be. It can be solved by building it up and grinding to the correct profile. I’ll swing back and fix that when I do my final fit and finish. One less thing, sorta.

Finally had some time off and went skiing.

I sure do! My neighbor is a bad influence on me

Looks like a sketchy neighborhood.

Looks like a sketchy neighborhood.

Having trouble with hooligans in their fancy V8s laying rubber up and down the street

That's a really cool bumper design.

Slee shortbus I think. Used to have one, regret selling it for sure.

Thanks! Yea, Slee “ShortBus”. Best front bumper for an 80 IMHO.

Congratulations on the purchase of cool FST rig! Is this the one that was for sale in AZ?

 

[78crzr]

Gave it a urban workout yesterday by ice house hopping in Houston with my better half! She also had to drop by the Kemo Sabe pop-up store to pick up a custom hat…it is rodeo season here after all!

That’s a great buy. Looks fantastic

What started out as just addressing a rusty tire carrier turned into a “hold my beer, I’m gonna try something” exercise in red-neckery…….
Thinking I’ll pin the blame on whoever posted that Ace Hardware’s Ivory gloss rattle can is a dead ringer for 033 Toyota white (It’s damn close)

Replaced this not very old bypass hose that developed a small hole that urinated all over my engine compartment. Usually I see hoses split or disintegrate over time, not sure what this little hole is about. Can’t remember where I got this, it was a kit with all the hoses, probably aftermarket . Put in the Toyota 16261-60011 “bypath” hose. Hopefully it will keep the rig’s bladder in check.

 

[Shark56]

I got one of those "special" hoses a couple years ago..

 

[Flatlanderfj40]

The neighbor across the street has Cruisers too?

@bhardy78 patina green are just across the street too. Must be the water out here

I washed it today. I found the tailpipe coming loose, then putting it back in the garage noticed it wasn’t charging anymore. I have at least one frozen wheel cylinder. Little problems are starting to add up.

Sounds like it’s time to throw in the towel and get a different truck. Don’t worry, some fool will take it off your hands for pennies on the dollar.

I hate to see what's in store for me with FJ40 running the best it had since I purchased it. My son would borrow it when he was come up to our cabin on weekend we were there. In a few short weekends he some how destroyed a almost new clutch. Promised he would help me replace it. Can't remember exactly when but it was before 2005 when the plate expired. Plan is to get it back on the road in 2024 when it will be fifty since I bought it.
