    Default FJ62 turbo diesel build

    Well I hit a speed bump at the local mall trying to get to Cinnabon and the Hello Kitty Trading Card Emporium. Lo and behold my motor fell out.



    Luckily we found some bits lying around here and there to use...





    So with enough bailing wire and duct tape I could be rolling again in a week.. unfortunately my friend says I have to run french fries or something in it. I do not like the sound of this! Might just run it off a cliff and buy a Suburban Hybrid to be more "green."

    While we were figuring out which parts needed bubble gum reinforcement (we have cases of bubble gum lying around being big hello kitty trading card fans!), the dash made a funny noise and blew apart!





    spewing parts all over the place...





    So we had to go looking for more stuff to fix the destroyed pieces and found a couple usable bits





    I just hope nothing else falls off. My jaw is getting tired.

    Being a HJ60 owner, I am familiar with the "bits-falling-off" thing... My original leaf springs fell of and all I could find was leftovers from when they make Didgeridoos!
    Being Danish it might seem stupid to use Didgeridoo leftovers but I suspect they use them as packing material when they ship Didgeridoos...

    I know what you are doing... and I know why you are doing it.... but man, it makes my heart hurt a little bit, to see all those parts and pieces scattered about and seeing the dash looking like it threw up....

    Whoa- what a mess! You must have been driving downtown through the construction zone over all of those huge speed bumps and potholes on the way to Cinnabon/Hello Kitty at Pioneer Place! You really ought to watch out when you go flying across those deep ruts.

    Looking forward to seeing the progression.

    I have never seen the need to have favorite quotes. Now that I think of it, people usually quote me.

    I have a bunch of junk that is not any better than yours.
