firestopper replied to the thread What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?.Here ya go! Threw in some new blades this morning. As usual, had to lightly modify the plastic adapter, but it fits nice. They’ll still suck in hard rain. 🤣🤣

Domino Theory: On our 1970 40, I removed both vent windows simply to sand and paint them. In the process, I noticed that the little wire retaining clip that holds in the key cylinder on the driver's side door had fallen out. I found it in the...

I made some weight savings and then took all of it back with the new crossmember. :rofl: I also got a true first start out of the new twin turbo monstrosity I'm cramming in there.

Drove it to the beach (Cayucos, CA) to check out a repair shop (Nelson's Garage) that always has an interesting mix of cruisers there, but closed on weekends when I usually drive by. Talked with Mike, a fellow cruiserhead and great guy about some...

I’ve been inspired by so many posts from so many of you and as I keep the pages turning, I discover some new things and some old ones I’d forgotten. Most recently @firefighterjed. He has a gorgeous FJ40 and I just love the details he has...

Completed first time valve adjustment. Hopefully, I got everything right. I'd sure appreciate it if trained eyes would let me know if you see (or hear) anything amiss. Thanks.

Almost done with exterior trim around the windows. This will allow the windows to be repaired or replaced in the future (if ever needed) without cutting/destroying the eventual stone façade to do it. The wood is just primed for now; will...

Slow progress; I'm trying to do a little bit each day. Still waiting on the garage doors installation; the guy is having trouble keeping employees between Covid and the general building boom. Today I bought $1,300 worth of 4/0 URD cable, #6...

Quick update: Still waiting on garage doors: we were out of town when the guy wanted to install them, and now his entire crew has Covid. We are supposed to be at the top of the list when the crew can return to work. The crew from the electric...

…which brings me to today’s project, the one I finally got the nod (truth be told, it’s actually the LACK of a raised eyebrow) to finish. So being the office, and wanting the missus to be SURE…five years later. that I wasn’t building an exit...

2022, just a month ago, I finally finished plastering the kitchen from the remodel that started in 2013, painted, and put down a new floor.

2021 was the start of the final phase of the living room/kitchen remodel that started in 2013, starting with a kitchen door (where there used to be a window -see my story on Malcolm for the karma on that😉)

2019 I gutted our bathroom, hired @tequila4x4 to repipe the house, straightened out some s***ty electrical routing that was done when the house was built, and put the bathroom back together.

Just turned the corner on wrapping up a project that got sidetracked in 2017. When I remodeled the house in front of my shop, the new bathroom made my wife jealous that it was nicer than what we had at home. So, as many husbands around here like...
