Nope. I’m at Ft Polk. About an hour west of Pineville. Here’s our crew right before we left for Hot Springs.

There are a couple dozen things that my 45 needs but I couldn’t resist the temptation... Double SD’s?

Now you're ready to put Toyota's "Cruisng 85mph on the open road" to the test

 

[xtremeVA]

Does anyone have a solution to clean/replace the rusty springs in the seat? Ever thought of replace the springs with a foam insert? I have some very crusty seats springs on the seats.

 

[wngrog]

My local upholstery guy replaces the springs with full foam cores.

Wow, you went for the offenhauser! I guess I’ll keep mine now for sure lol

I have carters (wa-1), have no idea how this will all work out once I get around to figuring out how all this works . In the mean time I’m looking forward to more postings on the build so I can follow what/when/where/how this is suppose to work. We might be the only cruiser keepers who run the dual-O setup (anyone else?).

Hilarious.

Who is rebuilding the motor?

 

[daniel.watters]

Lol. In my defense, it’s a diesel and will do well making the trip tomorrow. Taking the motor to Bennett’s Machine Shop in Lake Charles. I was impressed with his baseline knowledge of land cruisers.

 

[wngrog]

Great to know. I’ve got a local guy but he has let me down on timing. I’d drive one to The Chuck for the right guy.

 

[daniel.watters]

He’s charging me a flat $1,000 for tear down, rebuild block/head, reassemble. I’ll keep everyone posted.

Where did you get the rebuild kit? Surely parts are extra
