Build 1993 refreshed (now gone) and 1995 build up with new OEM engine

[SNLC]

Prepping my Cruiser for sale and I am keeping my KMC beadlocks so we are shuffling wheels and tires around. Figured I should check out the 38x13.5’s! They do clear at ride height and full lock in the front, much stuff though and I think they will rub.

Back to OEM wheels and boring 315’s.

The Goodyears are now on cheap Procomp steelies. Not sure where they will land at the moment!

Ya the upper trim in this Cruiser is currently gross!

Remedying that now.

The B pillar trim is always the worst, this is full on nasty stains are where the seat belt rides.

Big improvement especially since these will clean easier.

what type of fabric did you choose? something strong like marine grade with scotch guard properties ?

It’s just modern day automotive headliner fabric that is much easier to clean than the OEM fuzzy fabric.

More sunroof rebuild pics. I have had this gem of a part for a few years now.

Cleaned the other parts, inspected for damage ect.

More modern roof sound deadening than the old jute that was in it.

I did similar on my 96 and found that the seatbelts didn't retract properly with the new headliner material. I ended up removing it and just going with the poverty plastic design that toyota used when the material is removed. Seatbelts retract perfectly now.

We have done this before.

I am honestly slacking on this to get it ready for sale. I sure could sell it as-is but I am after a certain $$$ number which needs to meet my standards for that number. That’s not the issue though or anything else besides, I just don’t really want to sell it!! Especially as I make it better and better!!

It’s a little hard to motivate to work on it when that work is for sale prep and when you don’t really want to sell it plus I am not like needing bail money or something!! Sure some extra cash will help my other x3 Land Cruiser builds but I don’t need the cash either. And this thing is perfect for doing all the things I do in a Land Cruiser. It’s like this stupid arse thing we humans do! I swore I would stop doing it but here I am!

Sunroof assembly back in it, the sun is making the plastic pan look weird and red, there is nothing wrong besides sunshine!

Also, it’s a great option to be able to “poverty pack” your Cruiser, thanks Toyota for making this option possible! It’s just not what I am going with on this particular Cruiser.

I don’t think any of them though got a vinyl headliner after 1994.

Starting to go back together, looks awesome to me!!

Even with the old dingy sunroof control switch housing it looks rad! I don’t like painting plastic so I am leaving it be.

I have had a lot of these parts for this Cruiser for years I just slacked on installing them because, well, it’s my Cruiser and things worked and I didn’t care whole lot more than that!

New runs and gaskets for these happening.

Nice to see no RUST in the cargo window pinch weld areas!

Delta very expensive 3d manufactured plastic push pins for thicker carpet. Hey man, they do work!!

This Cruiser was sound deadened awhile ago. I am cleaning everything as I work on it with water, Dawn dish soap and Magic Eraser as needed.

It is like a snail that come out of its shell.
