Bought a Landcruiser. Made a list. Killed some spiders.

Got this delivery today from UPS…. Rob at Mosley was terrific to deal with and answered every question I came up with. Hard fuel lines arriving next week

opted for the in-tank fuel pump
 
Just wrapped up an entire overhaul of the steering system. New 555 tie rods, new tie rod and relay rod, rebuilt center arm (with new center arm since the old one was bent at the drag link connection), new drag link and rag joint. Set the toe in, 1/16”. Drives great only an inch of play in the wheel now, tight steering and tracks straight. Thanks Cruisers Outfitters for the quick shipping of multiple items! @cruiseroutfit

My wife’s favorite picture of our boys Simon & Sammy……. sadly we lost Simon last October and Sammy just yesterday - 16 and 17 great years!
Miss them….

That’s the center arm, basically everything connects to it: relay rod, steering box, dampener. If you have power steering, this is usually gone.
 
Rufus has driven all over the East coast with me. It will be a sad day when he leaves. More so if “the one” goes. My condolences for the loss of your pups. It sucks.

Completely rebuilt cylinder head went back on today. Everything but the casting was replaced. Machine shop even made manifold studs out of ready-rod to get everything clamped down tight.

Added a roll-bar storage option.

I lifted this idea from another MUD member who was using it as a tailgate when trekking around topless. I've been looking for ideas to store small items IE Beach gear, fishing rods and other items I wanted up off of the deck. I've rode tested it around the "compound" a few times and it seems to work for the intended purpose. Easy to remove, store and re-deploy.

Something you made custom or is it available commercial?
