11 years and 7 months is just last week in Landcruiser time. Many of us are still looking forward to Sea Knights next post.

Hard to say just from the pics but I’d be comfortable somewhere less than $3500 because of the visible rust. It will need a total rebuild and you will be in it for more than it is worth in all likelihood. If you are comfortable spending more...

Headed up into the National Forest for the day

Made a lunch stop at Davis’s burgers. Superb fresh burger chain in Central Arkansas. Arrived at the park in 6 hours which is about what it takes me in a normal vehicle. My theme song was Playing in my Bose Tygart pulled up after me and...

It's just paint, no clear coat. Easier to touch up if it gets damaged. Rust-Oleum that I used was gloss finish. I was once a professional painter/prefinisher and have a lot of experience with rattle cans. I think I put 8 or 9 thick coats on that...

Mine was in similar shape once. Several spray cans of primer, sanding and several more cans of rustolium fusion white made it look great, all for less than $100. This was from 2021 and it is still holding up extremely well. Good luck! 🍀

It seems none of us have :) Especially 67-72 roughly, those years are a big mystery. Lilly, Olympus, Cygnus.. My gut feeling based on my own research is the roof and bezels were Lilly White and the body is Olympus. Cygnus gets introduced in...

Light body color and black rims with hub caps look great. Dark body color with gray rims and hub caps look great. White wagon wheels are retro cool and they look great as well. Glad I could help you decide. 😎

Charliemeyer007 and CJK My thoughts exactly. YouTube is filled with AI stories about “historical events” and my fear is over time we will continue to lose a bit of history’s truth bit by bit. I find myself using ChatGPT more and more at my job to...

I listen to a lot of AI written crap on youtubes - the narration can be quite bad almost to the level of finger nails on a chalk board. A lot of them repeat the same information several times - like they are paid by the word. The vid's with them...

I somehow forgot to update this thread. Called man-a-fre. Shipped the stabilizer out fast easy install. Works perfect

Hey guys, just wanted to update this thread to the link of the Bilstein Stabilizer Kit to our Man-A-Fre website. I will include the link below to the kit. It does require you to shave the pin in the stabilizer and then replace with the supplied...

We will fly into Portland ME and then spend time around Oakland ME. I will be looking now for Landcruisers.

Had a great day hiking yesterday with the wife. We drove 200 miles with no major issues. This was the longest drive I've done since putting the head back on. Ive been driving to work regularly and around town but haven't done a long day trip yet...

There is a lot going on there. That’s a 1974 head. You can see the bulge that marks the internal oil passage to the #4 rocker arm stand. And if the block doesn’t have the oil fill, that would make it newer than ‘71, which is what I assume your...

That is an impressive kit

33s with 3:70 rears is a far cheaper and easier mod, that nets nearly the same results.

Maine seems to be getting a few mentions in this thread. It has my curiosity up a little. Is there much of a cruiser presence in Maine? My wife and I will be visiting Maine for the 1st time this coming weekend. It would be cool to spot 1 or 2 in...

a stock 79-84 should easily do 75mph since they have 3.70 axle gears if it is running correctly. Get it on the road and drive it and getting it running correctly with the stock carburetor and H42 before spending the time/parts cost for EFI/H55f...

My son and I are in the market for a project as well. Going to try to find one close to what we had in that 1st one. Something 2005 and older.

My son just turned 15, I would love nothing more than to duplicate what you did. I am actively looking for a project truck for him and I to work on.

If you are not a fabricator it is hard to beat 4Plus Products! They can be a bit on the spendy side but they are top notch products. I'm a bit of a do it yourselfer so I built my own along the 4Plus design. This thread covers the beginning of...

In 2009 I bought my youngest son a 1990. My dad and I hid it behind his barn and started working on it as a surprise present for my son’s 16th birthday. When he opened the box with the keys in it he thought it was a joke. I had snuck out earlier...

Those RIO Grande margaritas were strong! I remember they had a maximum serving limit of 3. I never drove my 40 there so was able mountain bike safely home with my head lamp. We cliff jumped in multiple locations on the west side of reservoir. So...

@rabid you remember this lil oopsie? That took a bit to get him out without damage to the whole truck lol
