Modified a pair of OE bumperettes for some flush mount Baja Design chaser lamps...inspired by The FJ Company and what they have done. POsted more pics over in the lighting sub-forum.

Bringing it home - hopefully for the last time. Moved back to AZ, rehabbed a house, built a garage etc, etc, etc.... time to get back to business after 21 months in storage.

My wife and I have had a great experience these past seven years restoring and caretaking my friend Chris's '67 after he passed away. Many good memories- we won a trophy at our local car show; I got to prove it was not a garage queen by taking it...

Yessir. I did the OME 2.5" lift. PO had extended shackles already but springs were flat, bushings toast, shackles bent. I went with MED springs and it is too stiff. May have to pull a leaf on rear. Or load her up🤗 Old tires were 30/9.5/15 NO RUB...

Admiring the fresh linkage and rebuild steering box and center arm. Easy livin at 80.

After having it for just about 3 years I’m finally going to install the headliner! I’ve drilled and tapped the broken screws from my initial removal 4 years ago. And now I’m letting it smooth out a little.

Door patch panels came from CCOT. Got to work right away. I haven’t test fit for the main doors yet but for the ambulance doors I have to say the fit is really good. Maybe even perfect. My plan is to get the front panel all welded up and...

Today was one of my favorite days. The cap is on! Wrestled a bunch with the seal..another good quality aftermarket from City Racer. Every time I would get it in place just right it would fall out of the other side. Went back-and-forth for about...

Headliner in. Good quality from Cruiser Corps. It was a challenge and I’ve got some wrinkles but overall I’m good with it. There are a couple good videos on YouTube covering the process by @40channel and Lone Wolf Works. I just did small...

Bam!

Took Ruby on her first obsidian gathering adventure!

Replaced the diff cover studs with OEM hardware. Bling!

Been waiting on my Walmart battery to give it up……. lasted 9 years! Decided on a Toyota TrueStart lifetime battery since I had a $25 coupon 🤑 I had a cleaned up tray ready to go and ended up pulling the mount to wire brush, prime and paint...

Last Saturday I drove my 40 down to the river for a Project Healing Waters cookout we had, I'm usually the pitmaster at the cookout, yesterday one of the guys sent me a pic he snapped. He must have been right around the grill when he took the...

Replace your fuel pump... or toss a replacement in the rig to have handy if yours does ever quit on you. A pump is under a buck fifty. It is an easy replacement, at home or on the side of the road (done it both ways more than once). Get an ARB...

Not many cruiser pics lately, just some from trail running. 7.4 miles, 2,500ft elevation gain, 1:52 time today, I was killing it.

Also rolled over 25K since the rebuild.

Snapped a couple pictures

Gave it a bath for the first time in a long time! Wash, polish and wax. Paint is kind of holding on still. It’s cracking, peeling, and oxidizing. But still polishes nice. :D

Starting my own construction company next week which means I’m turning in my current company truck…so the 40 gets DD duty for a few days until I buy something for this new venture!

Changed the gear oil, went to test drive, wouldn’t start except by dumping gas in the carburetor. Went to town, got gas, put in, no change. Started pulling stuff apart, dumped out fuel filter bowl, reassembled, voila, started. Took it down my...

P32 Manufacturing Hey guys! I have recently opened a website to sell replicated, remanufactured and custom parts for 40 series land cruisers. (I'm located in Perth Australia) Currently i am working on replicating the hj47/hj61 tachometer trims...

Hey fellas!! I'm super excited to show you my latest endeavour. Billet Tachometer trims!! Direct replacement, works with either hj47 tacho or hj61 turbo tacho with some mods. If you'd like to order one for yourself heres the link, they're on hand...

I like that. I pulled my after market gauges out(tach and vac) because I thought they looked way too out of place. You're solution gives me reason to reconsider having them. Nice work. How are they mounted?

Hey guys! I’m selling some gauge holders for 40’s that mount to the original plastics on the column. I also sell a few other items if you could check them out 😊 Let me know if you have any feedback or other items you's like me to make :) P32...
