Sticker off. It will may bubble up or peel off due to solvents. -
Great progress. You are rocking it! I think, you need to be content with yourself what you want to get out of that rig and what it should look like. Normal process of bodywork would be something like smooth out any uneven surfaces with bondo...

Don't forget to treat the back sides of all that welded metal, too. Rust can start inside your truck and work its way out. Freshly welded metal is particularly prone to that if left untreated. BTW, red paint on red primer might be tough to see...

The only guy I know who ran a 3B in an old Rover used the entire 60 Series Landcruiser drivetrain. I believe he even used the 60 Series frame. Not quite what you are working on… but I believe stock Landcruiser axles are stronger than Rover axles...

I've got the terrain tamer 2" heavy duty lift on my 60 and it's awesome! The ride is crazy smooth for a40yo tractor. Georg helped me figure out a bunch newbie problems(I installed myself with little to no mechanical experience) . Even without...

X2 look into Advance Adapters I’d also look into how the 11b bolt pattern compares to a 3B/13B. If they were the same… or very similar, it should make your search easier. Toyota Landcruiser Transmissions to look into would be an H55, H41, or H42.

No clue. I would google search for spec's on both parts you want to fit and the ones they bolted into originally. There should be bolt patterns, spine spec's.... Check with Advanced Adapters they make all kinds of this stull.

Paul, this is my 81 troopy! Looks to be the same!

Here’s one more hauling the big bike. I get a lot of flat tires on the motorcycle… thankfully easy enough to cart it home with the Ram.

Greek Cruiserhead reacted to cppilot's post in the thread Looking for information on split rims with Like.
I’ve ran these Toyota split rims for years on most of my trucks. A good tire shop will know what and how to safely mount and dismount for you. I sand blasted mine and put new tubes and flaps in. I’ve found the best tire size for them is...

Greek Cruiserhead reacted to WarDamnEagle's post in the thread Looking for information on split rims with Like.
I have seen guys wrap a chain through the center hub and around the tire and then hooked tight back on itself while inflating. That will keep the retaining ring from going anywhere if for some reason you don't have it seated properly and it...

205R16 have 82 profile, which makes it 29" tall. All the imperial sizes I mentioned have 100 profile, 7.50R16 for example is 31" tall.

They're 5.5 inch wide, so officially you need quite narrow tyres. 205R16, 7.50R16, 225/95R16. 205R16 is very easy to find, but is on the smaller side for a Land Cruiser. 7.50R16 is readily available in most parts of the world. 225/95R16 is as far...

Ute been earning its keep. Pulled an LS1 turbo out for a mate and delivered it to his shop. Makes a lazy 600hp at the hubs. Clearing some fence line of overgrown trees to redo the wires to keep the hounds in.

Finally organised my brother to come over and finish off the FJ45 aka The Beast. Got the clutch hydraulics done, brake hard lines made and fitted the last of the flex brake hoses he got. Fired her up and the clutch works and the gearbox shifts...

Got the timing adjusted, IAC dialed in. Running great so I added a new OEM air filter and buttoned it up. Tried to fix the speedo cable but it's a goner so I had to order one. I'm down to some small stuff and one last big item, the EPS...

I didn't get a good pic of the before...was in too much of a hurry that day I guess But the after is much cleaner. Not only the powder but the passenger fender losing all that MSD nonsense

@Chamba , Liked your explanation of RHD choice. Lucky that some manufacturers decide to offer a driving position on the other side for the rest of us. In addition to Land Cruisers I also like Land Rovers (yeah, I know). Long time ago I...
