I know, I think that’s the next step. Wife is resisting it though. Also I need some windshield hinges side mirrors

It looks like the fibreglass is still ok. The aluminum rivets holding the steel gutter to the fibreglass top have broken. Remove the sealer and replace the rivets and reseal.
I drove the '75 40 with its own power (2F) for the first time today. Plus a bunch of little things as well.

So I expect to see your FJ40 around town when I'm down in Santa Fe, right?
Yes. You can stop by, if you like. I'll need a legit NM license plate, brakes, leaf springs, and tires before I venture past the driveway.
I wish that Mud could have seen me the other day on my bicycle, at the grocery store. I approached the owner of a '72 mustard hardtop 40, which I see quite often, with the classic, 'Hey that is a nice Land Cruiser,' routine. He looked kinda creeped out like, who is this bum in the parking lot? Telling me that he has the same ride as me?
The 40 took me back to the Santa Catalina mountains.
The first couple of miles where a climb but worth it.
Heres a shot of Thimble Peak off the Phoneline trail.
About 6 miles in I saw a couple of these large (7") Centipedes on the trail.
"Defiance", at mile 9 a cool little cacti growing out of a rock crack.
The new gear allowed me to carry 249 oz of water. I drank at will and killed 100 oz at mile 7. Made it back to the 40 with 85oz.
Prior to this I used to ration 100oz (camelback) on similar distances. BTW, the temp was 108ºf.
If only the 40 had A/C hahaha.

Gorgeous country around Tucson. Did you guys get any Monsoon tain yet? First Monsoon shower in Prescott Saturday after I hiked out in Prescott National Forest. Cut the humidity nicely.
no "tain" in phoenix yet... but I'm definitely waiting!!
The monsoons are taking their time this year. We've had very little precipitation so far. The thunderheads build then fizzle out and when it does rain (slight) it makes it humid. I'm hopeful brother....
Restore an old land cruiser they said.....It will be fun they said!!!

To rockymoutainflyfisher. Listen, this looks just like an addiction. Don't make us come up there and do an intervention! I am sure we could get Imyahucklbrry; Ga Architect and countless others to go up there and take all summer to get you to stop this madness ------ or maybe join you!!!
Capital idea..... if only to help a fellow mudder with his addiction - it’s the least we could do!

Come join the party fella's! Bring some rods, flip flops, and a box of flies!
There's a lot in store for the next week or so, the first half is in the camper up to the Bob Marshall area with the family, after that I swap back to my 40 and run over to a semi-local "Creek" to spend 3-4 days tossing dry flies to cutthroats again, big cutthroats.
Right now it's just prep on the camper, loaded it up on Sunday, fixed some bad connections here and there, now to run it around and get the truck in shape!
