Gauge cluster pod added to top of the dash. Gauges include; EGT, boost, water temp and oil pressure. No holes cut or drilled in the dash to fit it, just a little trimming of the plastic trim and some double sided stick tape to mount.
Cheers
Giving the primer one more day to cure before color coat. Almost there!
Scored this little gem a couple months ago. Been looking for a long time but could never stomach the asking prices. This one popped up for a much friendlier price so I went...
:] That looks perfect!
Also, I really want to add something again. This entire process is taking so long to do. I'm using a 4 speed cover. Still not yet converted to 4 on the tree. I test fit the cover with foam gasket and it fits and drove...
@LDowney Thank you for the fantastic testimonial! I take pride in my ability to find the perfect fit for my clients, drawing on my extensive experience living around those FJs. Your trust in me means a lot!
FYI Based on our experience and observations, the Cruisers that Meshal selects demonstrate that he maintains very high standards in what he offers to his clients. We have a real gem and are very happy with it.
Possibly of greater...
Just wanted to chime in to let the collective know I’m the new owner of this FZJ75. Thanks to @wngrog for the fantastic build. I’ll be updating this thread with my continuation of this vehicles journey. First off will be dialing in the dampers...
Great truck, it checks all the boxes!
Good overseas history
Already in US
Has already been serviced, sorted, and documented by one of the best
Everyone needs the experience of owning a 70 Series, it is all Land Cruiser!
Ridgway CO to Vegas the long way. About 250 of that was asphalt, mainly all yesterday leaving Lake Powell for Vegas
Trip to date starting when we hit dirt outside Guadeloupe National Park into New Mexico 80% plus off road
Total on the...
The diesel 80 has something out in the front end. Driveshaft. Ring and pinion. Something. He did the whole trip (minus the real hard stuff after he left) in 2wd.
The GX has bearings in the front that have to be replaced after every leg of the...
It was 6 pm and it had taken us two hours to get to the point from the good road so we decided to head back out so we would be closer to civilization today for our trek back to Vegas.
We made the return trip in 1.5 hours because we were going...
Pictures don't do this place justice.
We are whipped. Only 186 mikes today but other than the stretch of Hwy 12 from Boulder to Escalante it was rough.
I'll get video later.
One more day tomorrow.
Once we got into the south Escalante NM we put our noses toward the north shore or Lake Powell.
The distance was not bad but it was ROUGH.
The little gatekeeper canyon we passed through was left. My 200 barely able to make it.
We wanted to see the devils backbone. Very cool. 12 to Escalante was beautiful. The burger at Nemo's was fantastic.
After lunch we struck out to explore Grand Staircase.
We tried to upload the Utah traverse but all we could get to load was...
We stopped at the visitor center and the grabbed some decent Mexican food at Chak Ballum in Torrey then we bailed out into Dixie National Forest.
We found a campsite at 10,580' by a lake. Unreal. Another awesome 200 mile off road day
Once we got back on Burr Trail we made a loop through Wolverine Loop then up past Boulder and into Capital Reef the back way through south creek. That's a pretty legit tough trail.
There is a cool in and out trail to the Capital Wash overlook. We ran into some Cajuns in a rental going up. It was funny. The wives bailed out. This land is huge and empty.
We woke up and made our way over to Capital Reef National Park.
The Henry Mountains are awesome. Glad we saw them
There are a lot of off road trails over there and I figured out the best way you catch them all.
The Burr Switchbacks were...
We had to backtrack 30+ miles but it was different scenery going that direction
At the crossroads we hit the road south to Hite Crossing.
We had to get gas for some and we went south to Ticaboo. I ran all of that from Green River to Doll...
