For as long as I can remember I have had my eye on the FJ 60 Toyota Land Cruiser. So this is how the story goes, it was August 21st 2017. We were driving out to Colorado to visit my mom's side of the family and there it was parked next to my uncles house. (with a for sale sign in the window) I knew it was the one!! The price was a little high but with a little negotiation I was able to get him down low enough it was too good to be true. Now that it was mine, I had to figure out how to get it back to California, knowing there were multiple passes it would have to climb. After sitting in a field for 2 years, the next step was putting it to a little test. I drove 99.4 miles up a gradual grade and unfortunately the temperature gage continued to rise. Once we got to my cousin's house the coolant started to spit out of the overflow box... I realized really quickly that I probably would have to leave it in Colorado till I had enough money to ship it out to California, but if there is a will there is a way. As I looked into shipping it, I talked to Jordan Novus Glass and he recommended the living legend himself José! (Rodriguez Auto Services) José went through all usual inspections and luckily it was nothing major (Just a frozen thermostat). The cruiser sounded like a champion, but the thought of it driving home still worried me. The following day I talked myself into the idea of driving it home and off we went up each pass. Long story short we made it home. Here's a glimpse of my story..
