What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (27 Viewers)

[Grayscale]

As little cutoff, wire, and grinding wheel as possible; 22g cuts with scissors, and the last 1/4" can be folded slightly in for champfer. Drill shavings can be cleaned up with a magnet, dust with a small dust pan. Not a big fan of the shop vac after the first month, unless it is the inside frame rail, or to clear debris from drain holes - that is valuable well beyond measure. The rest is like doing dishes, except, no detergent (maybe baking soda) and they get to dry in the sun.

Cleaned up the front end that’s been sitting in my yard for a couple years now, and yanked the current one out of the truck.

You broke it!

Left you a vm on the carb. You're on deck.

Is it unreasonable to spend days meticulously restoring things like bump stop mounts and exhaust hangers, zinc phosphorus coat them and do no fewer than 2 coats of epoxy primer and 4 coats of chassis paint? Nope, that’s about the right amount.

Wire wheel or blasting? Looks clean.

Chemical dip then wire wheel

Most people don't realize this, but the cab of a Landcruiser pickup truck is only held down to the frame with four bolts, each one smaller around than your pinky finger. I decided it was time to check mine again this morning.

All four were loose. Not very loose. But loose enough that I am glad I checked them before my upcoming adventure across the washboard roads of Death Valley .

This is the replacement body mount for the rear of cab on my FJ45.

No castle nut. Not sure if there is enough threads exposed when installed to do a double nut. If not wpuld suggest a nylon lock nut. As Mark mentioned check the nuts for looseness. Like Mark washboard roads are common where I'm at.

Beautiful place Ryan! It looks like a great place to spend time contemplating the better things in life.

Replaced the fuel pump relay on the TBI and pulled the doors and Paki soft top off. Weather is getting cool enough to enjoy it like this.

how was the fishing? A great time of year to be in Montana, just arrived yesterday but sadly did not bring the 40 along on this trip.

i exhausted all my local parts shops looking for basic parts only to be told i have a "unicorn"... decided to try "rock-auto"....game changer....had everything except steering kit. shipping was kinda pricey but to get parts delivered to my house is worth it. i tried to support local but in this case.....unfortuanly couldnt do it.

my upcoming adventure across the washboard roads of Death Valley .

God Speed “Commander Cody”..(circa 71). How’s that for a trip down the “way back machine”..?!

I doubt we will get to the commander. But we will definitely cover at least a half dozen tunes from the Buffalo Springfield.
