Hello to all. Had a membership a few years ago but I fell off due to deployments and life drama. Done with all that and trying to start up a small fabrication business. I recently acquired a 1989 FJ62 that I'm slowly building into a daily driven crawler. There are tentative plans to swap in a 1KZ turbo diesel.

May not be able to make any wheeling runs before next summer but we'll see. Currently balls deep in a major G Wagon build for a customer.

Likely do more lurking then anything for a while.

Grafting in a free pair of CLK seats today.

Appreciate it.

I have this 2 door long wheel base hard top in the shop that I'm linking with Axle Tech portals. Already shoe horned the 24 valve ISB. Now I'm trying to find room for the compound turbo setup and electric air conditioning.

Right on. I really like this rig. Thankfully it's super dry. My goal is 37's which will likely happen before the turbo diesel.

Seats are in and they're wonderful. Original seats made my back and legs numb.
