What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (20 Viewers)

[cruiserkreutz]

Put a set of Ruff Tuff seat covers on until I decide what I'm going to do for seats. Either recover these OEM seats or go aftermarket. We use these seat covers in our work trucks and they are amazing. They are made specifically for your seats (make, model and year of vehicle)

, so the fit is incredible, and they wear really well.

well at least the easy parts done [/QUOTE]

You and I both know that's the truth!!

After Monday's aborted trip, due to blowing snow and rain... I got up on Tuesday and told daBoise to "load up" and Chester jumped into 44... Gunner jumped back into bed.

So, Chester and I went by ourselves... we drove out to the Gass Peak trailhead and hiked up the old service road (it's the trail)... I remembered reading to "keep the other fork on your right"... so, I did and eventually ran into a dead end... apparently the "keep the other fork on you right" is when you are coming back down. Find 44 in this pic...

Anyway, we got a good hike, regardless... then we found a camping spot that provides a great view of downtown Vegas... as well as Indian Springs. I pitched our tent and made our beds and then we sat in front of a campfire, listening to a good book, until about 9:30pm. The clouds never broke, so we didn't get to see any stars this time... but, we did see the Vegas lights.

This morning, we hiked across the desert to an interesting canyon, with a lot of caves, high on the sides... the caves all looked like they had seen a lot of animal activity.

We were gonna spend tonight too, but rain is in the forecast and I didn't want to break camp in mud. So, I put the tent away and made our beds in 44... only to have the north wind start howling and the temperature drop significantly... so, we returned home.

In the past week pulled fiberglass cap, cleaned out the old headliner, and replaced it with outdoor carpet. I think it turned out pretty well.View attachment 1232212 View attachment 1232213 View attachment 1232214 View attachment 1232216

What did you use for an adhesive to hold the carpet on?

3M 90. Made sure to let both side get good and tacky first.

BJ40 got couple of new steering ball joints and valve adjustment. I allso took the roof off and started to plan somekind of easy to put on and off raincover.

When i tilted the windshield over the hood i allso found a nasty suprise. Allmost the whole bottom part of the windshield frame has rusted so badly it fell off in pieces. This one might be a difficult one to weld!

Sorry to hear that Beejii!!

Maybe windshield isn't needed in Finland...

@sggoat

Here, Gary... MUD has gone nuts!! I can't delete these pictures from my response to Beejii... I don't even know how they got on here...

 

[BeeJii]

Well... windshield is kinda necessary in here, even if it wouldnt rain theres hell of a lot moskitos in summer
Luckily theres still enough frame left to keep the glass in place

 

[grapestomper]

I changed my shocks last night. Went pretty well for the first time doing it.
Also a picture of my top lifted with the new lift from Amazon. Works great.

12HT install, still in progress

Project newbie welder learns body work the hard way fix/fabricate sill, replace rear floor, new corners moves along.

Drove the truck...amazing what a tub connected to your frame with new mounts does to it.

Although I am happy with structural elements and how Wesco matched paint (notice fender painted only half way), this is a 15 foot paint job...runs, sanding marks etc will be fixed another day.

Also, the CCOT corner patches are great in concept, but takes skill tying into existing older fender...not a concourse resto, but look ma, no rust!!

 

[Vintij74]

Extracting many snapped bolts, retapping to clean threads...... Congrats on your work!

When you replace body mounts it sure eliminates the "thud" and returns the 40 to sports car road feel!

My wife and I took a little trip with the 40 today to Granite Falls, WA, to see the water falls, here are a few pics of the falls:

This a branch of the Pilchuck river

Lots of granite everywhere

And some impressive cliffs where accidents happen every year when climbers get careless
