What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (61 Viewers)

[wngrog]

Picked up this 66. Originally from Texas. Has been in dry storage, in Michigan, for 28 years. Engine is dismantled in the back. It seems super solid.

Report to the Patina Appreciation thread

Thanks to @lcwizard for making my tire carrier look really nice! He sold me the basket and brackets. Just making the double swing out and the tire mount was enough for me. Thanks Dave!

I repaired my horn (crud buildup on the contact ring), replaced my wiper blades and washer pump/bottle

Finished plumbing the fuel lines for the Sniper install. I didn’t want to have a return line in the engine compartment so opted to cap the regulator on the Sniper and use an adjustable regulator on the frame rail.

Have you looked through @GA Architect sniper install? Clean as usual!

We have been comparing notes as our installs have been running parallel. I tried the LS regulator but mine had a small leak at the output side. Here’s the engine side of mine. Working towards cleaning up the wiring and buttoning up the years long build.

We’ve hit the bottom and tried to dig it deeper.....

Built some axles for my FJ45

I loaded it up and sent it to Valley Hybrids - I've gone as far as I can with it so far - it's time for a LC Craftsman's touch

That must have been you making a left turn onto Clear Lake City blvd a couple weeks ago. White with a black soft top?

Prior to my ownership, this 40 was with the same owner for 25 years, it has ZERO abuse but things were neglected as the years went on and the owner got to old to take care of it as they came up.

I've done a good amount already, but Georg is going to inspect the drive-train bumper to bumper. I want a much better eye to go over it for safety and long term reliability.

No, mine is green now with a tan top. I live in that area though

That’s a coincidence mine was white/black top and now it’s green/gray top

Finished my front bumper project. The winch mount plate is from @powthief19, a really nicely made part. The bumper brackets (stays/gussets) are from @pardion. I made the support from 3 x 1/4 steel flat stock. Since my bumper stays were not riveted to the frame any longer, I modified powthief19's approach and tied the support back to the frame using the same two bolts holding the stays on. Still have to wire up the lights.
