Check over in Cottonland.

It can’t be “Crusty Cruiser” without crust.

 

[davegonz]

I know, but I don't want it to deteriorate more.

 

[davegonz]

I sent Deo @cruiserjunktion a PM to see if he has any good sheet metal.

 

[Cruiser Corps]

I probably have something used as well.
I will be happy to check and see or see if I can wiggle a little on the new one. Keep in mind also that we ship for free either way we end up going.

Thanks Mike! I wasn't disparaging your new one. I just don't think I need that big of a panel.

 

[dogfishlake]

Trying to figure out what to do on this rear quarter panel. Weld in small patches or one big piece?

I don't think fabbing your own patch would suck much less than putting in the one made for it. You still are stuck with that long horizontal weld. Just a couple of verticles. Just looked at my two parts trucks, and ya, I'm in Michigan. They're way rusted out there. Anywhoo, you have to weld, and you have to use filler no matter what, just would be $200 ahead.

I like your Bilsteins, any chance you have the part numbers right handy (for the correct length for your lift)? If not no worries, I can search it up. I think I might run those on Chunk.

 

[dogfishlake]

Wasn't dogging on the Cruiser Corps one either, very cool they put up the $$ to produce such a part.

Never thought you were. No offense taken.

I appreciate you clarifying! I was standing on the rail of a bridge getting ready to jump!

PM me if you want me to check on a used one.

Thanks Mike

@Sea Knight says that they are:
Front: Bilstein 24-002479 Front 4600 Heavy Duty (B6) Shock Absorber Toyota Land Cruiser - Front
Rear: Bilstein 24-011327 Rear 4600 Heavy Duty (B6) Shock Absorber Toyota Land Cruiser - Rear

These were on Lee's 62. He upgraded to the newer fancy Bilsteins with the brushed metal tubes and let me have these.

 

[davegonz]

These are for a 2 inch lift.

Excellent, thank you.

Chop the quarters.

 

[davegonz]

I knew one the old wagon guys would say that

 

[GLTHFJ60]

If you're really, really against the chop, then go this route:

Toyota Land Cruiser Rust Repair Panels

 

[davegonz]

Saw those, but I don't need a giant panel like that. I think I can graft in a smaller piece or fab it myself.

Old wagon guys, Johnny is younger than I am.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Old wagon guys, Johnny is younger than I am.

And still, I've been doing this 10 years longer than you (by join date anyway)

 

[davegonz]

Yep, I meant old guys as it relates to Mud and cruisers.
