This thread is not meant to be a “parts resource”.

We are using non-US parts here and there when US is not available or is stupid expensive. In the past when I post parts info, I have noticed the stock of that part gets bought up fast at such and such places. Then I see so and so with a bunch of that part listed on their website, at a much higher price. On top of this I put the work in to find the parts, perhaps spending hours and hours digging. I sell parts to customers at our cost plus a reasonable markup. I don’t charge US retail so when I got to pay that or more it gets passed on to our customers. Our shops parts resources are our own.

My suggestion to ALL who cannot find the OEM parts they want is to, contact Dave at Japan4x4.

Cheers

I keep feeling like if my wife catches me looking at these photos I'm going to be in trouble.

Many of us respect the fact that Great Anglers never reveal their best spots!

Turning out to be a great build, thanks for sharing!

Do you mind sharing who you use for steering wheel restoration?

Dash all cleaned up and fresh pad installed.

All the dash HVAC vents are-will be new and also the black trim pieces. We were going to install dash next but have decided to hold off until all the aux wiring is finished.

The ARB bumper the Cruiser showed up with was showing its age. It was also a little tweaked so we fixed it up.

Just a wee bit hot in the shop today.

That'll dry your paint.

Restored.

Also restored.

Installed, column also installed with fresh ujoints and the rag joint.

Got the polishing we needed done to install the roof gutter rail trim.

Is it really “restored” when it’s better than what left the assembly line?

 

[Vulkyn]

Yah restored doesn't really cut it to be honest, maybe rejuvenated or something along those lines

 

[SNLC]

Some awesome Land Cruiser goodness for the build.

Cheers

We went for back to stock/original on this. They did a good job and it was a quick turn around.

We have not had a lot of time for the project so far this month because we got to get this one done and on its way, as well as spend time on other projects in the shop. We did get some hours in on the build today.

We have however in the last few weeks got a ton of little parts and odds and ends of all kinds in for the build. As our schedule allows we will be cruising right along on it.


Cheers
