All three of my horn contacts were rusted away called on the steering wheel guru @Birdhead. He was kind enough to source me a good unit to use a starting point. I don’t know if these are available and really don’t care. I like the challenge so...
Sometimes throwing out a hail call to Mud brings in good things.
@OGBeno stepped up today and let me know he had a 2F sitting in his shop waiting for a future customer and would part with it for this project.
He and Johnny really put the fast...
I spent a couple of weeks fixing it, drove it around the block and it was the worst thing I’ve ever driven, terrible brake, suspension, steering, electrical issues etc…. Feeling somewhat defeated in purchasing my nightmarish dream car I came back...
I also took the tank out to clean, under was pretty dirty but once I took off all the grease and dirt I was pleasantly surprised:
Not bad for a car from 1965. And I like the original color more, I wish it wasn’t repainted.
For reference, the tail light iterations. BJT, 25, 40 (not including the different wagon/PU variants)
We stock everything but the top one @ Cruiser Outfitters
Here's a very nice Toyota Land Cruiser large canvas tool roll including vintage tools. Please take a closer look if you are considering this type of kit. These early kits with tools and canvas in this condition don't come up for sale all that...
Due to this thread, I decided to try making a cat cover/skid plate out of a road/construction sign.
If anyone is able to source a 48”x36” piece of aluminum or steel, it’s not terribly difficult to make one to cover them…I would have made the...
More from Loom Works. This is a cast iron foot pedal from one of Toyota’s old sewing machine tables. My sons want me to use it for a fire pit grate. I’m sure it would cook up some good steaks. Imagine TOYOTA sear marks.
This small box is similar to the other “Toyota Accessories” boxes, just slightly smaller and earlier. The HA-1 was the first sewing machine model produced by Toyota, beginning in 1946 if I’m not mistaken. Presuming the box was produced at that...
This little memo book is old enough to be the father of the two in post 518 and 519. Comes in its own presentation box, but does not come with a pencil.
Sanded down the inside of tub and frame. Lots of wiring wheeling and then Por 15 on the frame. Then finished the frame off with topcoat. After that was more prep so that I could Monstaliner underneath and inside the tub. I know most people...
Now that i am home, here is my mount…nice and high. Easy to see Maps. Easy to navigate while driving because phone is within easy reach (and line of sight). The black tape “ball” at the bottom right of the AC vent is to prevent the AC splines...
Wow I’m surprised I’m reading a thread that started in 2019. This thing really has legs! I’ve got a pretty damn nice 83 but I probably am not gonna say better than new. Under commit and overdeliver. The people on the forum really know Land...
Because I love Before/After shots
Right at 300 hours labor in this truck. I’m glad the Mustard78 of @jomelo was here when they dropped this truck off so they could see a super nice 40 and say “make it like that”
