    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    I ordered from Toyota Parts Overstock last week and shipping was $15, so $31 total for my order.

    That’s pretty awesome! Yes, everything you need including bulbs - can’t beat it!

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    I replaced my sealed Sylvania Halogens with the Toyota Koito kit that everyone has been raving about, still can’t believe it’s only $16! Install was very easy, results are amazing - low beam before and after pics are below, I wish I had done the same for the high beams as I think that’s an even...

    Thank you! Appreciate all the knowledge you’ve shared on this forum, it’s been very helpful for my 40 and 62 builds.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    After seeing @wngrog add some 4.8” Man a Fre shackles on the Seminole Red build to improve the stance I decided to follow suit. My front end has been a little low since adding the 8274 a few years ago but I was pleased with the ride and didn’t really want to put in heavier front springs -...

    Builds 1965 Seminole Red FJ45 SWB

    Awesome, that’s what I’d figured but thanks for confirming! My OME shackles are a little under 3” so the 4.8” Man a Fre’s should net me an inch of lift.

    Do you know if these shackles will work with Old Man Emu springs? I’d like to lift the front of my 40 an inch or so, I realize I’d could upgrade to heavy springs but this seems like an easier solution. I’ve got 4 degree shims also so caster should be fine.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Thanks, it’s grown on me a lot over the years. Looks a lot more olive now, the pic below is the day I bought it - the paint was really oxidized and looked like a faded brown. Multiple applications of Meguiars #7, all by hand, and letting it soak in before removing completely changed the look a...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Finally replaced the old KM2s with the updated KM3s, absolutely amazed how much better it rides with fresh tires! Also put in a little elbow grease with some Meguiars #7 to get the paint shining a bit better and sealed it with Liquid Glass. Mr. T did a nice job with this single stage paint 48...

    Summertime in eastern NC can get pretty brutal, I’m good about putting a sunshade behind the windshield during the day at work but with no tint it didn’t help much - hoping this makes a noticeable improvement!

    After almost a year of running clear glass on the 62 I decided it was time to put some film back on the windows. I love the look without tint but no question it gets hotter inside. I wanted to make things more comfortable for the family when all 4 of us are cruising! I talked with my local tint...

    The 62 came with aftermarket speakers and a very basic Clarion headunit. Things sounded OK but there was plenty of room for improvement. I added some Kicker speakers that several guys on Mud have been pleased with, they definitely improved music quality but the head unit was the weak link...

    I’ve been slack posting updates in this thread, can’t believe I haven’t added anything since May! Still loving the 62 and continuing to make improvements, I’ll highlight a few of the more meaningful ones below: Over the summer and into the fall I tackled the fairly common “rough idle”. The 62...

    Will do! Closer to Morehead/Atlantic Beach so down that way more but a 40 trip to Ocracoke is definitely on the bucket list!

    Haven’t posted much in this section lately, been more tied up with the 62. Happy to report the 40 is still alive and well, had a great late afternoon cruiser earlier!

    Looks great, know you’re enjoying the improved ride! Interesting to see I’m not the only one that ended up with a lean when the front springs were both 6L. To be fair it wasn’t that bad but it was noticeable when looking closely. Seems like Dobinsons should consider make a left/right specific...

    Has anyone bought the turn signal/wiper stalk decal set on ebay?

    I bought it from him directly thru Mud, not sure if there are any differences between the kits but what he sent me was perfect. Not sure if the first pic showed up but I’ll repost it.

    Has anyone bought the turn signal/wiper stalk decal set on ebay?

    I started with the rear heater decal, that project went great so I stepped up the difficulty and replaced all the wiper stalk decals. These decals are very fragile and the install is technique sensitive, Mo was great to work with and made sure I was happy with the end product. I think it turned...

    Looking good, happy to help! Hope the rest of the install goes smoothly. Just saw your post about the difference between the 3rd leafs that you pulled from the front springs, that’s interesting - mine were almost identical. I’m sure there is some slight variation among these springs, probably...

    My tires and suspension have just a few hundred miles on them so this is highest my fender measurements will ever be, I imagine things will settle a bit over time. To take tires out of the equation my hub to fender measurements are about 22 1/4” up front and 22” in the rear. I’ve got a 10 year...
