Look up the FB group "Modified 80 Series Landcruiser" - it's an Australian group and I've seen guys talking about how to make the visor and snorkel fit together. Yeah I really want to get one of those hoods. Since I have an FMIC it's just a cosmetic mod rather than a need at the moment. I've...

Thought about it! I prefer the look without though Here are a couple pics I've saved for inspiration: 76 but similar style

Drilled out the holes for the riv nuts to fit into. OTC plate is sitting flat now. It looks like I'll have to trim about 1/2" off the front of the OEM shift boot surround to get it to fit. Then took out the LH battery box and figured it was a good time to swap out the windshield washer...

Here it is on RHD, so mirror image. I don’t know if I’d run power through there but it might be perfect for CB/GMRS/Ham.

Then since I was in the mood to keep on cutting I moved to the fender. The template that came with the Radius snorkel was pretty good. I cut on the small side at first and then shaved off a little at a time as I fitted the snorkel. I'm 95% happy with it now. Will probably tweak it a little...

Air saw got a workout today. Started with the OTC transmission tunnel plate. It seems like it was designed for 80s without airbags as mine has an airbag module and some additional sheet metal on the transmission tunnel and it couldn't sit properly. I marked what I needed to cut but ended up...

oh yah. Safari snorkel is nothing compared to this. It helps that I picked up an extra fender just in case.

Appreciate the recommendation. Also going to try some Chemical Guys stain remover recommended by @cgeoca

You can tell by looking down into the washer reservoir. Up near the front there's a hole for the outlet that connects to the fender bladder.

Yeah no problem. Might be a little bit til I can get to it, don't know if you're in a rush? I assume you're using a HF2AV transfer case?

Unicorn for sure. Worth it but very rare. I think I see 1-2 in that spec for sale every year. Might be able to save some money/headache by going straight to an importer. For example, the Canary Islands have clean LHD cruisers like this one: I talked to that importer and I believe I could have...

With a H15X, it's a shorter trans and will be further forward. So you need a shorter front shaft and a longer rear shaft. Custom driveshaft from a shop like Tom Woods is probably the easiest but OEM are still available new as well - that's what I bought from Partsouq. Also you'll have to figure...

Thanks man. Yeah I've decided to keep the flares. I like the look.
