The outer tube slides onto the steering box and is clamped down (#62) to prevent movement. Horn wire goes from horn ring/bushing( between #57 and #40), down outer tube then exits through hole in outer tube just above pedals to connect with wire...
Cool build!
If you haven't, you can see the build thread linked in my sig that I converted a 40 into a 45 with a 16" stretch.
I ended up using lower rear corners from Real Steel, and I basically made my own rear corners above that. Overall, a...
The loose plan is the extend the frame to match the factory LWB pickup at 116''. Build a 45 cab with top that will be about 4ish inches longer than stock. Then build a SWB style bed that fits the rest.
I am building this for my own fun and...
Imho one has nothing to do with the other … cloth corduroy seat covers?
30 years DD my 40 never had that happen
You didn’t damage anything too awful that hasn’t most likely been done before in the truck… it happens… don’t make a habit of it :meh:
Finally got the well going at the barn. I was able to play around with the hot water pressure washer today. It’s going to make keeping these clean all that much easier.
I’ll put this out there. Anyone that’s interested, on the fence, not sure if the 4 speed is worth it; you are welcome to come ride in mine, maybe even drive it! You can look it over, see the mods, etc.
Most non-cruiser people I’ve talked to...

As I mentioned earlier in the story about Malcolm, the family handyman of my youth, I knew that from the time I was four, and watched Malcolm make a set of stairs at our house, that more than anything else, I wanted to...
Passing of another era perhaps. I took off my front bumper racks this morning. I built them 15 years ago for the Canyonlands expedition that landed me on the cover of the Landcruiser calendar.
I think I last used the racks in 2016, before the...
I had also had to do a little sheet metal trimming years ago when I installed the extended shock towers because of the sweep of the 13” travel shocks.
Moving the axle slightly forward also remedied static angle of the shocks, something I had...
I just wanted to take a minute and state my appreciation for @ToyotaMatt. I've bought countless OEM unicorn items from his store that simply aren't available anywhere else. He graciously allows us to leverage his passion for Landcruisers, the...
