My friend and I went halvsies on this FJ40. Are we about to become the @David-Tracy of Toyotas? Only time will tell.
From the marketplace listing:
1973 Fj40 for parts or offroad buggy. $1200 or best offer. This truck is rough but frame and drivetrain is intact. Has older Toyota truck drivetrain and 22r with five speed and xcase. Motor is locked up and doesn’t have a title. Parts only or off-road.
And I accidentally took the most heroic picture of it ever.
I had a single day off while working in Fresno, CA so I immediately bolted for the hills. The scale of Yosemite valley was hard to capture, but hopefully these pictures will do it some justice.
Okay not the sole reason but we have a circuit of private road that is closed to the public and doesn't get salted or plowed which means I can take the long way to the parking lot 
Thanks @Skyfire77 !
Big fan of the Caballero, and really looking forward to building this AMG 6x6 technic (and the kiddo is looking forward to helping).
Cheers 
@Long_Voyager94 get them anyway. Then print out pictures of the old wheels and tape them on the new wheels. It's a foolproof plan.
A couple weeks ago I found a full size adult black widow in my garage ...
They are, quite frankly, absolutely beautiful creatures, so I couldn't bear to squish it ...
So I caught her (here she is playing dead - they're pretty shy critters)
And built her a new home on a shelf above the sink:
Her name is Natasha.
Widows can go a few months without eating, so really all I have to do is drop a cave cricket in there every now and then (they have a tendency to get trapped in the sink so it's pretty convenient).
I've recently gotten it in my head that I want a rubber accordion style shift boot in my MR2, on account of hating how all leather shift boots will eventually look like satan's ballsack a little worse for wear.
I like the vintage look of the accordion style in my Pajero (not pictured because apparently I've never taken a picture of it)
And some very well known Toyotas have the accordion style boots:
As have ze Germans:
When researching these with my friend, I jokingly suggested I just fab up a metal plate with a ring and use a CV-joint boot, rather than going through the process of ordering a variety of rectangular boots to see what fits.
Lo and behold, it's been done 
This Jass Performance boot is very clearly exactly what I was describing:
Don't believe me?
Yes - that is a CV boot clamp under there.
Seriously, that is so very much a CV boot it's actually funny. But it kinda works!
Want to go down-market a bit? Do it yourself! (Okay it's a little different on Miatas since they're FRs and the shifter is coming straight from the transmission through a hole in the floor, and they will cover this with a leather boot in the end)
Want to go way up-market? Spend $600 on thisI-can't-believe-it's-not-a-CV-boot-because-IT-TOTALLY-IS for your favorite Porsch-uh!
It's classy.
That is all. Good day.
@Bandit just respond "yes, it's available"
The windshield frame is repaired, complete with paint and clear, and all the body dents are pulled, flattened, filled, and primered. The primer camo will stay for a while - I only wanted paint and clear where necessary, in this case it was needed before a new windshield could go on. Oh and a new windshield went on.
I drove it around the block and despite it being an unmitigated basket case, I was pretty thrilled.
Next step is to clean, repair, or replace almost every single part on the vehicle.
@Mazda616 this is why I enjoy dropping my kid off in the rattly loud diesel RHD Pajero ... even though nobody cares or pays attention from their luxury crossovers.
@CarsOfFortLangley fake - the windows are too big.
She gives me stickers all the time because I am a child and she understands that
But this time ... I feel seen
@sampsonite24 I haven't played in a while - just haven't been in the right mood - but it's definitely one of my top favorite games.
@Qaaaaa That's an interesting way to run the primaries. One of those cylinders is going to have a completely different torque response than the other two ...
@MUSASHI66 I will never understand the appeal of gore/slashers.
