Also some much needed new clamps for my engine harness. The old ones are trashed or on the way.

Not sure where these two pictured below go yet. I bought them thinking I’ll figure it out as I go. It may not even be for our engine. IDFK. Found it on a thread somewhere here.

It’s prettier new!
Glass bead the old ones and ceramacoat or spray ceramic paint in the to keep down the rusty look.

I'll bet your new ones are for non-usa market.

That’s way too bourgeois for me, who do I look like @Feldrian? Besides, that takes too long and it’ll be covered anyway. My old ones have beautiful patina.

I bought these for the 40th anyway so that’s probably why they’re different unless the 95-97s require the same holes there. Anyone happen to know? I haven’t looked at my 40th yet.

It’s hard to have so many cruisers that you can’t tell them apart :flipoff2:
 
Two 55’s!! My sick dream!
These in the yard is just the beginning. Inside they have everything from a rust bucket to a $100k fj40. The shop is very laid back. They work methodically.

Which shop is this?
 
LandCruisers NW in Portland
forgive my confusion…people reference the NW, SW, SE, NE quadrants in Portland all the time, I missed that this was the name, but rather thought this was the location…college was a confusing time. Portland exacerbated that….20 years later and I’m apparently still recovering. :doh:
 
Their address is public information. Going inside is sort of like being at the doctors office. They pay attention to what your bringing to them.
 
Hey that means your gears are in Arizona :grinpimp:
That’s right! Zuk has everything but he no longer takes diffs by mail. And my diffs are inside the axles under my cruiser. In Tennessee. Zuk is in Arizona. I’m going to AZ for paint soon hopefully. More logistics for me to figure out.

I’m trying to meet a June timeline for GSMTR. I signed up. I already secured a cabin. If I don’t make it, I’ll be attending in my Super Duty. Idgaf. I need outdoors.

I made some mistakes. I procrastinated the steering box reinforcement of the frame. I don’t have a welder. I have the @Delta VS frame do it yourself kit that I bought two sets of when I was drunk and feeling too confident.
Then reality hit.
At one point I figured, I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. Then I began reading mud again. Big damn mistake!

So engine is out. It’s prime time to do it now for access. Same with steering box rebuild but that I’m not doing until later. I don’t need more delays.

Since I don’t know how to weld, I hit up @FJn00b
Who has graciously accepted the challenge to help me. So we will do that in the next coming week and I’ll be mating the engine this week getting ready to stab it on the following weekend.

I need to get this pig running so I can break it in and get it on a trailer that I don’t have, that uhaul doesn’t want to rent to me, and drag it out to AZ without diffs so I can stay a couple nights in Phoenix while Zuk does his magic. Then speed up to Flagstaff AZ and drop the pig off to @kelly saad Who will make my baby look better than new. Yes, BETTER than new!! So researching flat towing my rig using a universal tow bar of some kind.

Suspenses. What’s the worst that will happen? I bust my own suspense and what? Nothing. Who give af? No one. Not me. I will fit 37s under her and take her out west and see what all the fuss is about. I’m trying to channel my inner @Broski and cut the hell out of cruiser but I just can’t seem to do it so @Feldrian hooked me up with knowledge about some Timbrens I’m stuffing underneath to mitigate that for now.

Just ordered new tires and rear lower links and I have a few other Knick knacks and paddy whacks to order. Why am I poor?

Enough words and tagging people for attention. I’m such a whore. @PNWTreeOctopus @OGBeno @Bludozer :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:@@@

Got my seatbelts back. What colorblind bastard did this? These suit my King Ranch better than my cruiser:
