I bought the SOR kit for mine and did it myself. I tore out all the wood and bought the welting kit. It wasn't easy but I was happy with the result. You'll need a sharp pionter to locate the screw holes. Take your time you can do this..

One of the things I said I was going to do was incorporate “Fritz’s” License plate into the build. This was his yellow pride and joy for more than 55+ years . Hopefully he is looking down on me and happy I was able to keep his LV on the road for...

Thanks CRZR45 for the pics and info. Was digging around today and found a pic of the bows from a build thread. I will post it here for future reference.

I used the sor one with their trim kit. It fit well ( my upholstery guy installed it. As for the bows they would be pretty simple for you to make. Just sone small diameter round stock with slight arc and just screws into the sides with one...

Price Drop before I put the top up in the rafters for a later time 3k.

Having a blast at Solid Axle Summit with some good friends , I do need to figure out where to send my invoice to for fumigating the mountains around Ouray 🤣

Thanks!! Really enjoying it. Definitely can’t run any “quick” errands in it as when I stop people want to look and ask about it😂

Awesome assist by @KT40. Ken helped another LV restoration out of a serious jam with ultra rare LV pieces. A lot of good LV karma and incredible generosity!

Huge Thank You to KT40 for getting me the last missing piece I needed!! The wing window hinge👍👍 ( need to get nice stainless screws to finish it off)

It does. Very noticeable.

Thanks! Does the water cooler cool well? Nice setup!

Post some pics of your intercooler setup. I’m looking for plumbing ideas for my 13bt .

Having begun this with a brake booster thread I thought perhaps a build/rebuild thread would be more appropriate where I can maybe still get comments advice. So here is my new to me 1988 BJ71 13BT Dakar classic rally car in the 2025 race. 3rd...

So, more progress pics of the driver side rocker metal work, some rust repair, hole in cowl, and mock up of the front clip. Spent some time on the driver fender well. Got some adjusting to do on the clip but seems to line up pretty well. Its...

If you are paying someone to fix it up my 2c is to buy one already done where someone else did it right and they take the loss. The $ adds up quick if you pay someone to do it

I believe Elite Land Cruisers ships truck to South America to restore which is a big question mark and a hard pass for most these days. Do your homework and find out where the restoration was actually performed. Since you aren't sure what you're...

For now I'm keeping it! Gonna put some money into it. Business is good!! Stay tuned

My kzj73 had a small but annoying rear main seal leak since the day that I bought it 2 years ago . Ordered a new seal and called the guys at Terrain Tamer US to upgrade the stock clutch to a HD clutch ! While in it I dropped a set of 4:1 gears in...

The Evolution of the Mighty 1.5 what's not to love.

Time for the next Big announcement ! The front housing opening will be sealed with a piece of plexiglass. With the limited space Sponsors get first shot at sending me something small, stickers, key chains, anything that fits in your hand. Once...

Tailgate returned home back from my buddy's shop that smoothed it all out. Had to mock it up a bit.

I've gotten this combo out for a few trips in July already, mostly within a few hours of home. I'm hoping to have my gullwing window before the end of the summer, but the duct tape tint is holding for now.

I drove over the Blue Ridge via Swift Run Gap to get license plates for the newest member of my little RHD fleet. Could only go uphill at about 40-couple mph but it's good enough. EGT's did not get too high. Boost was off the scale. Monument...

Yup
