We got a cold snap right now. Temp dropped about 15 degrees. Think it is 65 right now.

I'd take that. At least you don't have snow coming

I thought about you when all those storms were coming through here headed that way.

Thanks. I could do with just rain. Hopefully they are wrong with the snow. Camp in Cape Breton could get a foot. Will definitely still be snow around when we go down for May long weekend. Definitely no bugs. 😊

@Mudder , just watching Mecum auction Houston. Saw a 72 Landcruser. Went for $43K. Totally restored. Thought of you. Hope all is well. Still cool up here. Had a little snow yesterday. More rain tomorrow.

My next door neighbor has two old school Broncos. Late 60's early 70's somewhere along there.

If they don't have the fenders cut out for big tires, BIG money.

I have to look as I drive by today. Be willing to bet they do.

@Mudder One that they drive looks like has not been cut away. Other one couldn't tell look like parts vehicle.

From FB FJ40 site. $25k for an original daily driver a decent price. Selling to buy another for restoration. @Caper new ride???🤣

Yup nice. Good shape for the year.
I like my Tundra now. A lot more comfortable at my age. 😊But I'd love to have a FJ40 for around my camp in Cape Breton. 😊 I thought that one at the auction, totally restored for $43 was a good deal, because most are in the $70's or $80 restored. It would probably outlast me. 😊

I had a FJ40 once. It was a trade in at the Toyota dealer worked at. $400 It was so nasty on the inside we sprayed full strength when I whitewall cleaner on the inside and hosed it out. Mileage was atrocious. Put headers and a different distributor and It was a whole different machine.

My brother put electronic ignition in and it got almost double the gas mileage. 😊

Great, another FJ owner!. Prior owner had installed an upgraded coil and headers on mine. FJ top off go-anywhere mudddin memories were the best. A weather change I always looked forward to.

Gonna hit 91 here today. Crazy for mid April

Got lucky this am. Thought I might intercept a tornado on the way to work. It touched down to our sw and again to our northeast. Don't usually see storms that powerful at 0400 in this part of the world. It's usually a late afternoon till maybe 2300 or so event.

We got chances of storms Thursday through Monday. I'm getting tired of rain. But, not going complain. Because know what is next.
