Matt from Canada
Hey to whoever reads these. My name is Matt and i am from Canada as the title reads. I currently cut forests down for a living. It is an honest job and i do enjoy it. I use a chainsaw and yes cut down old growth trees (the big ones). I work in a camp so i get a week off at a time. While I am in camp I source out information for my project. My shop project is a 1983 toyota land cruiser and outfitting my shop. The land cruiser has lots of rust spots in weird places requiring metal shaping. Making it for my honey and I (and our new one on the way) to adventure out. My metal shaping is very limited in scope, basically a hammer and a chunk of a railway track. I was reading a forum from MP&C (different forums) and he kindly said you guys helped him along with knowledge and techniques. So i am following his guidance. I have been reading forums for a long time and have joined a couple. This is my second post i have ever written. I only post after searching a forum and determining that my specific question has not been answered which has only happened once. Plus I am long winded and am no master to be answering (and i haven't seen a forum on tree falling). I am not on any social media but do enjoy getting lost on youtube from time to time. I am a Preacher of the Gospel, but not online. Yep an apologetic Christian. i look forward to learning from the old timers and i mean that in the highest respects.

Welcome to the forum, Matt
 You'll have to post some photos of your Toyota – I've got a couple of 4runners that I work on, but not as old as yours.

Welcome to the forum, Matt. It's always great to meet another believer and follower of Jesus Christ!
Very cool to hear about your Land Cruiser. We've got a couple of 2nd generation 4Runners here, both 22re 5 speeds. The one on the road is a 92, has a 4" body lift and 33's. It's our new/modern daily driver family car.....
