What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (40 Viewers)

[imyahucklbrry]

We're following the Fast and Furious business model and will stop only once we've overshot the bounds of utter ridiculousness. We've also signed The Rock on as the son and Vin Diesel as the dad. It's amazing what lighting and make up can do. I'm thinking an origin story where the dad [Vin], tries to coerce the son towards an LS3 swap, but the son [Dwayne] is all carbs and F's and J30's. It's perfect conflict really. Engaging viewing.

Funny thing... I watched your video without my glasses the first time and thought the guy playing the dad was
Mel Gibson

That reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where George explains "The Worlds Theory":

I spent $77 in parts from CCOT then paid $48 for them to ship via UPS to Canada, and now get to pay another $51.12 to get the package from UPS.$38 for brokerage and $14.12 in duty and taxes. See what Brown can do for you. So there's that.

I feel your pain man, was going to order some parts out of Japan. Still might if I end up doing another.

UPS and FEDEX both sting ya with extra fees IMHO. USPS is the way to go if at all possible.


That's why I try to avoid having parts shipped... sometimes it gets ridiculous.

A friend and fellow cruiser head brought this to me today!

 

[ginmtb]

Will there be a sequel?

A trilogy?

Would like to see the flash back to when they were bickering back and forth how dad wanted something done a certain way and son didn't ... or the camping trip that ended with everybody going home unhappy

Or the sequel where son calls dad to ask car advice even though son already know the answer

More!!!

The Son Strikes Back

"Light at the end of the tunnel" that's funny @gator25 !

 

[Michael B]

My machinist made an adapter for my heater do I can substitute a small flex tube for the fresh air box. Now I can rotate the back of my AC unit up a little more.

Started on the hood, looks bad but I like the challenge

 

[waiting for time]

To my surprise it only took an hour to get the basic shape back.
