In other (more exciting) news, my Bowfin Cruisers roof rack arrived today and its amazing. I have to say this is the most well thought out rack I have ever used. It honestly puts the major rack manufacturers to shame. Everything fit well, the finish is excellent, and the instructions were easy...

Yeah, I thought so too.... I just replaced a bunch of vacuum hoses and it seems to have tapered off so maybe something was plugged up.

Probably lots of smaller projects for now. I think a rear storage system is first on the list. It’s definitely trail ready and the previous owner added a nice bit of kit to the truck. My 88 is 4x4 and has been a blast.

Hi Overland Bound! I love reading other build threads and figured I might as well start my own. I found a rust free, factory locked, 97 Land Cruiser a couple hours away in Steamboat Springs to replace my aging ‘88 Toyota Pickup. The pickup was a great truck, but not very safe or practical with a...
