Pretty cool. I don't think my Dad gets the Land Cruiser thing, but he tries!

Between my dad and my brother, I still don’t think they know which end of the hammer to use, much less replace knuckles. But as a great dad, he just likes to see what makes his baby happy even when his baby is old. And because we’re old, we can drink beer together

Test fitting brake hoses.

One was too short, but it did taste better.

This was the longest male to female one the guy at out NAPA-ish store could find. There was a longer female to female, but this was just right.

Wearing my 2007 Ultimate Adventure shirt for good luck. The 4Runner I took was a huge POS, but it looked cool and I got to meet the Slee guys and wheel with the Blueberry.

Such a badass truck. Pure beast mode!!

Going to have to do master cyl next weekend, but brakes are already better, and steering is tight tight.

Can’t not smile while driving this hog.

These guys will make any hose you want. They do good work. Stainless Steel Braided Brake Line Kits - Paragon Performance

Some fine swine behind

Got rid of this box. Ok idea I guess. Not very functional because you had to take everything off of it to open. Half of the space was taken up by the 2x4s too.

Got window back on track. You can tell someone has been in there recently: wooden stop and gorilla glue. Tight on track now and lubed up now.

Don’t think the one on the left will make it 50 years as strong on the one on the right has....

Even with the weird left pimp lean it’s acquired since its been on the trails, I think she’d make a great Lands End model

@cruiserjunktion dropped off some goodies: FJ60 4 speed, late model split case, bellhousing, 3.73 diffs, driveshafts...

...will go in over the holidays

Broken spring?

They can all ride in my hog.

Who said it was a bad thing?

 

[TachedOutOffRoad]

Holy hell.

All new steering
All new -disc- brakes
All new bearings
All new shocks
33”s bringing down RPMs
Tires at 32 psi (instead of 43 from shop!)


This is a whole new truck.
Just incredible.
Love it.
Ready to drive it to ...... ????

Getting ready for drive to SSS

My buddy needed to sell these Warn lights and they have a high beam function that I like so a deal was struck.

Hard to tell in the pics, but much brighter. You can kind of tell on the telephone pole on the right side of the road the increased distance. Going to adjust them pointed up 5* more maybe. My stock headlights are not enough.

With Warn low
With Warn high

Installed my cruise control aka: hand throttle. Would have killed for this on the 2,200 mile drive from Boise.

It was like $30-40? Made for a Heep of some sort, but it works. Has little clicks/notches to hold it where you set it.

My wife saw this and asked if I had an invisible step or maybe the kids had taken it. I considered it Jedi training. The old rug is a great under hood/protection/soft mat/tool holder shop towel.

And I stole this meme off the internet.


I found a clean ‘91 80 with 175k on it that I want to buy and put a H42 in. The 3FE/manual is really fun to drive. It’s only money I guess.

 

[wngrog]

A 3F 80 should be close to free. Don’t pay too much for that

Lady in the meme looks like she has her cheek pouches stuffed with cashews or some other type of nut.
