It was time for an oil change, inspection and A/C service. While it was there I asked them to do a compression test. I know this rig had blown a freeze plug back at 160,000 under previous ownership (2 owners back) and had the engine rebuilt...

First few days into the roadtrip to Alaska with my dad. So far camped in Jackson, Big Sky, Whitefish, Radiant BC, and today went through Banff and Jasper. So far so good!

I got this

Finally installed the Loncky steering wheel cover in the 200. Was about a 5 hour project. Most of the time was doing the sewing (I have bad vision and can be a little anal, so it took longer than expected). Turned out nice and feels great. The...

The "bong" is normal for a 60 series with the long range tanks, I'm sure its fine on other models too. Its nothing to be concerned about but it will catch you off guard!

Bummed I'm going to be missing this! I'll be in Canada doing some conservation so unfortunately I can't make it. My LS swapped 60 would do that before I installed my charcoal canister on a hot day. Instead of the filler tube it would leak at...

All in N Phoenix / Scottsdale Spotted in Telluride

Rebuilt 8274 winch, now similar to the new 10,000lb 8274-70, near new condition A few years back I swapped out the motor for one from a 9.5xp winch, 6hp and I had an Albright Contactor mount off to the side. I plan on selling this, so I wanted...

I ordered this bumper after talking with @Godwin and I installed it over the weekend. I got one for a planetary winch and had Dave add some light tabs in a specific location for me. This thing is very beefy, the bends and welds are very clean...

I have a 4Plus Kingdom bumper with a rebuilt 8274 on my 60 and they're both great. The Kingdom bumper offers superb protection.

Glad to hear the light is working out well - nice placement! 62 is coming along great! Nice bumper upgrade too! 4Plus (Dave) makes great Land Cruiser products.

Can’t wait to see the 8274 on there. I have one and plan on getting one of Dave’s bumpers too. Curious how it will look on a 60!

Roof Rack mods - mounted the awning up there (seen below). Bought a Rivnut installer tool not too long ago, not sure why I didn't do that years ago. I'd always be drilling and tapping but the rivnuts are just slick. Gotta shout out to @bwesty...

Rig got dropped off today for the engine build. Super excited! Will share progress updates as it progresses! The wait begins :) Wes my good friend and 1FZ guru is doing the work @Fj80oregon

Amber is a huge improvement in my humble opinion - wrapped the side markers and turn signals.

You need skid plates. Bring a welder. Carnage last time I ran it: sheared my sector shaft, tore my upper control arms off from each other (adjustables), and tore my front control arms brackets from my front axle housing. Fun times. Took us...

Went up to Smith's Lakes to get away from people and heat.

Changed the oil Picked up Rotella T6 and a pair of these from Walmart. YZZA3 was behind the YZZA1. Also installed a Victron IP65 shunt to monitor house and starting battery.

Pulled cluster to replace "D" light bulb

Went paddling on a lake 🏄‍♂️

Camped Friday night with Simon Put a clutch pedal in Never know when you might need one Then I had the pleasure of meeting @landtank So awesome We welded in a steering mount plate reinforcement kit from @Delta VS Now he can make...

Thank you @landtank! Got the blue modded fan clutch put in! Along with new belts; water pump, fan, idler pulley, alternator, a/c tensioner & oil pressure sensor!
