Air saw getting a workout today

Replaced the heim joints on my @LandCruiserPhil rear sway bar links, quick after work job to get rid of a nice clunk the worn out heims were making.

Here's one from when I got my top plates on and before it was painted.

Designed and made it myself.

Naked Cruiser Finished welding

Some of this is a bit out of order, but I also made rear light brackets at some point.

Made some mounts for ditch lights. Never ended up using them.

Welded sliders and finally started to make my bumper design into reality. I wanted to make it as high clearance as possible and mounted the winch right up to the core support.

If you could take more pics of that bumper I’d appreciate it. I want something simple like that. Are the quarter panels cut?

Rocker chops are definitely not as common here, it's a bunch of work and the gains are worth it. I do wish I would have body mounted the slider after all the work, but no regrets! I'm also surprised how well the bumper has held up. Granted I'm...

No frame. I pulled out my old windows and the frames were getting crusty. Fixed is much simpler.

No aluminum window frame with solid glass. Just the seal that fits the body opening.

And not often you see the rocker cut sliders outside of Jeep land. Very cool.

Very cool truck!! I love that simple rear bumper!!!

I have had some questions and requests, so here is my short boring story on my second 80 build. I am terrible at these, so I give it a week before I loose interest in updating except for big ticket items. Chronologically this is going to be a...

Been doing a few things.. Sold my 37s with the steel Battleborn beadlocks. Bought a realy cool 1976 FORD Courier truckbed trailer. Ive needed a open bed to haul things with...Im moving to a better house in August. I'll have a better work space. I...

Wrapped all armrests and center console lid to match my seats and steering wheel in faux leather. Also replaced all rear interior panel fasteners with new ones and added rubber o-rings to reduce vibration noise.

Like I said earlier, I think utilizing the rear holes from the port installed roof rack is the ideal spot. The holes needed to be enlarged slightly for the size heyco glands I used but that is easier than having them welded closed like I did for...

I've been a FJ40/55 guy since 2018, and a Toyota guy for years...but today, I joined the 80's club. I purchased a Triple Locked 1997 FZJ80 in Desert Dune with Moonglow Pearl accents. I don't plan to make many modifications; I'll mainly tidy up a...

@TXMeatball PS went in without issue. Plug and play with the Planted template. Zero fitment issues vs the DS.

No pics. But got my sunroof closed again. “It has a broken cable”. And found an old post about removing the pins so the switch doesn’t work and the light still does. 😎

Part of my time off was meeting with my fabricator and finalizing the tire carrier. I have the first carrier in my truck and will try my hand at creating a video. Improvements include moving wiring onto the fixed arm, and a 3/8” shim plate to...
