That's funny, I don't see any pictures.

We passed on main. Didn't have time to grab my camera

Luckily I passed them again today. They were headed up Corckscrew while I was on the way down

Guy in the blue 40 gave me a gigem. Said he was from San Antonio

That's cstav86. He posts here! Engineer pass last fall; what a small world

Obviously I'm biased, but those 80's series just get my stuff right.

Capabilities aside, just based on looks a geared out 80 looks so good to me.

Mine was a little beat up and not fully geared up, but loved the look

They ended up going with the 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid.

This is a little underwhelming to me. And it makes the 200-series even more attractive to me now.

I was initially very apprehensive about this. But the numbers on paper aren't too far off from the old V8 and it has good torque. And let's remember that Toyota has been building hybrid vehicles since the late 90s and they aren't pushing any boundaries with new battery tech in this new LC. It's growing on me a lot. And I could see room for more variants in size and maybe engine options down the line, especially from the inconspicuous renderings in the background of the release events. I'm eager to see driving videos.

Saw this leaving Silverton

That's a Land Cruuuuuiser!

Huge tracts of Land Cruiser

I'd pass on that one. Will be harder to maintain or modify down the road with all the corrosion. Be patient, the right one will come along

Same photo on my '10 with 210k miles. I'm down on the coast twice a month and live in Houston for reference.

Thanks. I'm picking up a White/Brown '19 today with 30k miles. I'll take some similar pics and post for reference. Will try to include in one post!

I drove MrsCP to Port Mansfield for some grilled flounder tacos last Saturday night and when I pulled out of the house I noticed the blinkers weren't working. While we were buying a few gallons of gas in town I raked my hands down the fuses and that did the trick; poor contact on a fuse. However, once we left town I noticed the truck running a little rough, and it wouldn't idle at all; but it would run fine with the choke partially pulled out. We made the loop and got home without incident using choke as necessary.

So this week I spent a few spare hours going through all the usual suspects. Maybe the vac advance line had come off the carb base, something that would make it run lean. That wasn't it. I sprayed either all around the intake and carb base looking for a vac leak. That wasn't it. I knew I had a lean condition but I couldn't get past the fact the problem developed all at once - and idling is something this truck does well since the rebuild. Long story short, after I twisted every set screw and adjustment on the carb I finally discovered I inadvertently upset the idle solenoid circuit fuse when I was fixing the blinkers It took me almost as long to put everything back like it was supposed to be as it did to identify the problem.

Sunday morning update: Drove the 40 to work this morning to show the cotton harvesters where we were going to start today. For a while I pointed her into the breeze and left her idling for about 15 minutes while we looked at some other fields, and I came back to a happy 2F ticking away just like I left it.

That was scary. Easily 30% of the long threads on Mud in the 40/43/45 section have to do with carburetors. So I live in fear of something going wrong when it otherwise runs so fine. So many passageways, so many linkages, and so many variations of the carbs - it's hard to find info on one that looks JUST LIKE yours to reference. It's crazy to say it is more mystifying than fuel injection, but having experience with both - it's a toss up at best.

Happy to put her back on the 'Road Ready' side of the ledger.
