Pause. And just like that another cruiser caught my eye. I’m tabling this for the time being until I can figure out my plans with the new project.

Keep it a surprise, people love surprises!

I want to say keep me in mind if you are shedding this one but the wife would probably kill me before a transaction would be completed.

 

[jomelo]

@Jroc561 i will keep it a surprise for a bit longer. A few already know. But yes, this one is going to be sold. I’m now at 8 land cruisers and something has to go. I’ll reach out shortly.

Last shot before this one heads off to paint. I thought the paint was better when I initially purchased but was in for an unpleasant surprise when it landed at @SNLC’s shop. Oh well, you win some and you lose some. Since I’m considering selling this one I just need to clean up a few details.

Wish I was in a position to buy it, sure would like a 77 with an engine swap and LHD conversion.

GLWS John.

We are stripped down for paint. The truck is being dropped off today for the rest of its disassembly. Decided I wanted to get a snorkel so now looking for the classic Safari setup (not the new’ish Airmax). This truck was missing the little parking mirror on the front left so we are welding that up along with the rear spare tire carrier holts. This truck has a new Kaymar waiting on it post-paint job. @ca18sean is running point on this for me and @Onur is helping out with some sweet OEM goodies to go back after paint.

Have them weld up the holes where the rear bumper covers snap in too.

 

[jomelo]

@divemedic yup I knew I was forgetting something. Those are getting filled as well. Should look pretty nice.

In the meantime @ca18sean is engaging in a bit of speaker overhaul. This truck only had the factory dash speakers. They worked surprisingly well but always room for improvement.

The factory door panel does not exactly line up perfectly for just cutting the panels. But....if you buy these fancy units from @c2dfj45 then you are in business.

I ordered up a set of new 80 series grill covers and some JBL GTO629 6.5 speakers from Amazon and we should be in business.

Now.....what should I do about rear speakers? This truck did not have any from the factory so I am thinking we would just cut some holes in the panels and mount them up like a 60 series? Anyone? I am really just thinking about going 6x9's back there.....not necessarily looking to sound like two midgets in the back seat 'rassling.

I have some really nice rear speaker pods for 76 series doors...not sure if they would fit a 77.....they have a drink holder and can run either a 6.5 round or a 6x9. Same ABS material and color as the front.

 

[jomelo]

@c2dfj45 the truck is in your neighborhood. I'll have @ca18sean link up with you about fitment.

They should work. 76/77 doors are almost exactly the same dimensionally. But having Sean confirm is a good idea.

My only concern with fitment would be the drink holder but there should be enough room. Structurally the 77 and 76 are virtually the same from the firewall back as Onur stated. Side note the 77 door permits placement of a 6” speaker. Magnet clears the mechanicals with a 1/2” spacer.

Do you not have the speakers in the rear cargo area as well?

It does not.

 

[Blomdala]

I'm still waiting for my truck, but I'm happy to share specs for the upgrades installed by the PO when I get it!

 

[FJ73Texas]

It does not.

I forgot that you have the LX trim which of course I like more except for the front OEM seats.

I’ve got the LX and had rear speakers. I honestly thing Toyota added ZX/LX badges arbitrarily.

 

[OGBeno]

By 1990, there was nothing that Toyota did that was arbitrary.

Maybe in 1950, but not by 1990.
