Where Have you Driven Your 40-Series This Week?

[Otis]

A few other 40's made it to the desert... @rockcod in the blue hardtop. @landcrusher909 in the camo rig drove out of his two wheel entertainment...

I say 74 because it was the first year with the rectangular taillights, first year for factory roll bar, first year of the plastic Land Cruiser emblem on apron, and last year for those front doors.

Sorry for delay, YES on 74!!
The "Bootheel" of NM is some strange territory. Army stationed in "new" Hachita to chase Poncho Villa into MX 100 years ago. Some of the characters from the OK Corral saga smuggled and rustled here.

Now there is a place called Windmill that makes windmill blades, a mysterious "training center" where the Playas used to be, more Border Patrol trucks than flies, old ranching/farming families, and LOT of Dark Skies! My friend had a Turkey Tag but good luck finding a tree out here.

We only got one "You boys lost?!" all week, LOL.

That is amazing country down there. We roamed around there for a week a couple of years ago. Want to feel lost, want to feel lonely, want to feel Ike if something bad happens you are on your own and miles from help? Then head to South New Mexico, just north of the boarder. @dazerb thanks for bringing back some good memories.

The wife and I took the 40 to Lassen Nation Forest over the Thanksgiving weekend.
You know it's a little chilly when the water jug freezes overnight, and you don't need ice in the ice chest. But very peaceful.

It was a nice sunny day to drive over to the “new guys” place here in FoCo.
It’s so easy to get excited when a LandCruiser shop comes to town.

Christmas morning cruise.

Last cruise with the BJ42 for this year, before flying back to Germany: some 10 km/6 miles inland from the Peloponnese coast.

Merry Christmas Mud brothers and sisters!

Maxxis MT753 in OEM size (for Europe): 205R16 (29 inch). Tyre seem to be quite popular in OZ...

PS. Not easy to find old school look radials nowadays, at least in Euroland. Think I have to inform the existing thread...

Mike, how come you never call me to run trails?

Wow! Just fell in love with this. Tells a story standing still.

Drove to the dentist yesterday morning. On the way home the 2F developed a miss that got worse by the mile. It felt like 5 cylinders, then four, then 3, by the time I got it to the driveway and into the garage I was lucky to be doing 10 mph. It idles, very rough. It tries to accelerate, but just doesn’t have any power. Spark plugs 3,5,6 were wet. I idled it without the valve cover, all the valves appear to be moving normally, no scary noises. I had these symptoms once before, it was just a burnt out set of ignition points.

Did you find out what caused this?

 

[bernardbar3]

Drove my little girl to the playground. Her first ride in it. She’s got autism, not everything is easy. I was thrilled she enjoyed it. View attachment 4036306

So touching! Beautiful

 

[bernardbar3]

Not my truck, but spotted in town while at dinner tonight.

Whoa! I thought that was a scale model. Seriously cool and unique.

A fantastic adventure. Man, I need to bring my Cruiser out west for trails like that.

 

[bernardbar3]

I got as far as the car wash this weekend

Nice 43. I’d love to have a top like yours up here in the States!

I had it custom built here in Bogota. Took about a month. I had a fiberglass top on it when purchased, wasn't a big fan. Very happy with the way it turned out and I get a lot of compliments from Colombians. Thanks
