What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (52 Viewers)

[MartynFJ4071]

I got the last of my parts (I hope) ready for zinc plating today.
I have had most of the parts done but then found a ton more.
This is part of one of the horns.
I successfully removed the decals in one piece so will either have repros made or can use the originals again.

You guys and gals should just discard those silly stone guards. They are so 1980s.

Hey I had stone guards back in the late 70's! When I see them now they make me smile! So does white spoke wheels and smiley face kc dayliters covers!

Went to Cars and Coffee Portland this morning. Good number of nice cars and trucks there. One other FJ40 besides mine was there. Nice Dune/Desert Beige 40. Lots of muscle cars and exotics also.

Can't believe I can still get

Ready for the machine shop

Finished boxing in my radiator frame from the relief cuts and welded the u-joint to the steering column. Starting to finally put everything back together.

Went to the UFO Festival in Mcminnville, Oregon today. Saw a 40 painted Army green in the parade.

Set the tub on, now I can trim the tunnel to fit the Atlas. Check steering column clearance along left side of engine, front DS position and so much more. Kinda tall on the SOA and 60 rear axle, but it's up on blocks

Replaced the original dash pad with one FJ40DASH, nice to have the dash pad light cutout there, real happy with the product. Also got the later model (larger) wiper motor installed. I was able to use two existing holes and I decided to only use one rivnut to hold it in place. The fourth hole is too close to the window hinge relief, and I definitely did’t want a hole there that wasn’t being used. Thought maybe the rivnut wouldn’t fit right. Anyways, now my wiper motor out of a 2000 volvo is installed and operational. I’ll get around to doing a more formal write up on that process, but real happy with the results. Also picked up the tabs Friday, now just need to get the insurance.

Take this thing off and toss it in the trash and you can engage 2 low with the hubs locked. Nice feature on tight trails.

Or just cut out the corner bit so the hole becomes a square, then you can leave the brace on.

I'm in the process of tearing mine down. Engine is just about finished, so it is out with the old to make room for the new! I broke down the front end in preparation for pulling the ol' F, 3-speed & t-case.

You can see the 78 t-case and 4-speed as well as the 78 front axle. The rear axle is off camera (you can see one of the power steering hoses peaking out of its box in the corner too). All will be rebuilt and upgraded before being reunited with the rebuilt, decked, line honed, bored 2F with 9:1, new valve train, and cam with a new high torque profile.

I'll be divorcing the tub, once stripped, from the chassis which will be media blasted and treated to por15. Then assembly will begin! What you can't see in this pic is the ididit column, steering wheel, new weatherproof chassis harness, AFI EFI, and a ton of other parts waiting impatiently for install. I can't wait to get her on the trail!

Don't forget to flip the bezel

Installed one of my "new to my 40" jump seats. The PO broke off a bolt flush in the mounting hole, need to address that before the other seat goes in.

Gorgeous!

Just piddling around. I believe I have located all the rust in the tub and bib. Could be worse. I have the replacement OEM panels for the kick vent panels and the rockers and "B" pillars. Real Steal metal. for the floor boards.
