BTDT. I removed that straight cut one and used my original one. As you’ve observed, it’s a better match to the shoe.

Save yourself some money and get some cut to fit black weather tech mats from Costco. If you want to splurge, get yourself one of CityRacer’s molded reproduction floor mats to lay down first!

That sumbitch is looking good!

This beauty of a 1967 FJ40 was spotted in Marysville, TN….the owners own Swara Taproom….the beer is cold, the service is impeccable. On special occasions, the beer taps on the Cruiser can accommodate.

I would start with a new radiator cap, if its present condition and age are unknown.

You’re in luck, then. The posers all drive Jeeps.

Yeah that was the downside with Ferraris. Everyone assumes you are trying to act rich, important, flashy. It just felt yucky. A shame, because I really enjoyed those cars. My dad had a 1963 250GTE V12. It was way more understated, except for...

I just did this yesterday on my OE fj62 steering wheel. One hank of thread was enough to get me all the way around the wheel with quite a bit to spare. Thread until it ends then knot if you need.

I saw this one afternoon rolling through the main square in San Gimignano, either lost or showing off (or both), slowly pushing his way past the tourists. Notice the police watching him…..

Those were my last two. I’ve owned four.

My roof was in rough shape when I got it, and has not improved. It came with a bolted on roof rack that was drilled through the fiberglass. I had put screws and rubber washers through those holes, but was tired of looking at it. There were also...

This felpro leaked on both sides of the gasket, with and without permatex high temp. I don’t think the F intake compresses these metal portions around the port enough at their torque spec. They may work if the exhaust manifold was perfectly...

Let the Capri Blue begin.. (1) Sample color (2) Original 9/71 example of Capri Blue (3) Underside of the freshly painted Trans cover.

Just going back through this thread and realized, where has time gone?. Since originally posting, and planning for retirement, my wife and I purchased a retirement home 20 minutes North of Huntsville AL in Tennessee. Can't wait to get to the area...

Just checking in...the cruiser is progressing well and if I had to guess I put the completion date to be around spring of '26. Cheers, Joel

Just got it back from the mechanics yesterday. Aint it purty?

^^^^^ This!

Out getting groceries for Barbacoa (and the so called "optional" Modelo Negro). Crossed an important milestone today too. 500 miles on the new engine.

Where / what part of Houston?

Do you have pictures of those Ferrari you mentioned?

Looks a lot like mine when I first got it. A bad respray over a really straight, rust free vehicle. Hopefully yours is cancer free too. If someone told me these days they were picking up a Landcruiser for $2k I’d say watch out, it’s probably a...

Rear transfer case output seal complete. Been slowly leaking for years now. Rebuilt the parking brake while I had it apart. And found the fuel line under there was old and cracked so replaced that section. Refilled the transfer case with amsoil...

Something odd going on with the front hood. It doesn’t look right, maybe it’s an aftermarket fiberglass replacement.
