I'm stationed at Ft. Meade, so Baltimore area.

I don't know of anything, but I'm new to the area and looking to get out exploring. I'm also military, so with the DoD stop travel order, I have to stay within 100 miles of home, which is a bit of a problem for me

I and a lot of others agree with you on that

So it took a while, as I don't really have the right tools for the job, but I got it done. I ended up using a hand saw and a Black and Decker drill, with a vise grip and the roll bar of my CJ-5 to modify the stock throttle linkage plate (? I think that's what it's called, anyway) when a drill...

Finally got the dang thing running! The fuel line between the fuel pump and the hard line to the carburetor delaminated and grenaded the factory carb. So, after replacing all of the rubber fuel lines, and the carb, I managed to get it to return to life. I went with the Weber over the OEM because...

I've been told the strategy is to just be a pain in the butt for a long time. I went and looked over the fuel lines, and while nothing is kinked, the rubber lines are all very old. I'm starting to think that somewhere along the line, one of them delaminated internally and sent some of that goop...

The tank is brand new, we managed to get Toyota to honor the old recall, even though they hemmed and hawed about it forever. Also, fuel is getting to the fuel filter that's just before the new mechanical fuel pump, and the fuel pump is new oem, so it should, theoretically. The only thing I can...

It's been a while since I posted last, as I haven't had much time to do anything with the Rolling Turd. I got her home from getting tires on, and haven't been able to get it to start since. It'll run on starting fluid, and there's fuel up to the fuel filter at least, but it's not getting to the...

When this all blows over, me and my family would love to do something similar, though, so hopefully that day comes soon.

Aaand a bummer deal, as we're not going to be able to make it after all. I'm military, and we got a stop order for all travel outside of our local area. They defined my local area as 50 miles from my duty station, unfortunately.

I live in Severn, and would definitely be interested in a rigs and coffee event.

Looking forward to going and meeting you guys. Bringing along a stock 2019 Ranger and a 1958 CJ-5 on 31in tires.

The hula girl is definitely going to stay. I'm not sure about the dash yet, but I may end up replacing it all together. We'll see. It has more pressing issues than the dash for the moment, though.

And this one is how it looks with the new tires. Loving the pizza cutter look on it.

Finally got around to it; here are the pictures I promised. This set is how the FJ60 was when I first got it home. There are some pretty rusty bits on the body, which is to be expected on one of these, but other than some surface rust, the frame is solid. Also the black bars on the tailgate were...

I love IH8MUD. I've actually got a build thread there, too.

I recently bought what I'm hoping will be our family's overlanding rig: a 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60. I used to have a 1991 FJ80, which I liked pretty well, but it was always a "grass is greener on the other side" kind of deal. The 80 was nice, but I really wanted a 60, so I sold the 80 and...

Not to toot my own horn, but I love that color

Just picked up my first Land Cruiser, a 91 FJ80 in stock condition, no rust and a clean interior, all for $3500. Looking forward to modding it out and getting it on the trails. Paint's a little rough, but I'm not going to be much easier on it.

That is a beautiful Blazer.
