Hello 70's series Mudders! I've been living in the 60 series threads for a long time but dabble in the 40 and 100 series world too. I'm finally in the 70 series club! I learned about LandCruiser Pickups like 30 years ago and instantly was my... -
there are many things I want to get to - as I'm a bit of a perfectionist. but the good news is it's the neato cool stuff, not the essentials. it runs great, AC works, starts every time, it stops, hauls stuff and I love it. Big thanks for the...

the Heater valve was broken off and the hoses plugged on either end, I was hopeful it was just the valve, but my gut told me something's up with the heater core. so....onto the heater valve replacement and see what happens. a very creative plug...

Picked up the 74 this morning. Cruiser Outfitters for the win. I had no idea how bad it actually was. It's a totally different vehicle now.

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...

A couple of Skyline Drive shots from last week. They are very mild compared to what Felde just shared, but it is what I have. My daughter snapped an embarrassing shot of me at the information center on the Skyline.

Finally I have working ac in my troopy. Had to look for parts from many source, but hardest part was probably the hoses and specially fittings. I wanted to use Toyota's original cooler unit, amplifier and dashboard controls. Compressor, codenser...

I pulled my cluster out of the Saudi 45 to install a Dakota Digital. So I have this available if it helps someone.

This was at my niece's wedding a few weeks back, being used as the drive away car. It is owned by a friend of my brother in laws, but didn’t get to talk to him. It’s pretty impressive as far as build quality goes, made by Fj Co, had an automatic...

It will make old cruiser frames look new after it soaks in. Dirt and mud fall off when you pressure wash it. Makes the old rubber refreshed. It soaks into places mud can hide. Lots if info on it on you tube. The Yankees use it yearly.

Polished out the 27 year old paint. Got a few debts and a couple of hail dings but overall it's nice and smooth
