Looking real nice, sorry to hear about the damage that sucks. Are you going to find a replacement steel door or do fiberglass? I am currently debating between the two, all 4 steel doors are all rotten from rust, well the whole body is rotten from rust :/ . Wish I could find a good body somewhere in CR.

I will find a replacement steel door, but since door at this moment close and window is on it im not fully looking for it, rigth now my priority is to buy the Power steering. there are many land cruiser pages on Facebook so you can post and for sure u will find what u are looking for.

Also I bought a Plastic snorkel, this improved significantly the diesel consumption
Could you show how it’s attached to the air filter box?
 
I wrapped HEAT DEFLECTION BLOCKER THERMAL to the gear box cover and also engine bay.

WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT. inside car is super fresh now 100% recommended

on December, a friend and I took transfer out to rebuild it (just for maintenance) luckily everything inside was in good condition so basically, we re pack it again and add new oil.
Also we fabricate the transfer saver

A friend works soldering and I told him if he can build a Roof basket for me. He told me yes for sure and I gave him some ideas from a Land Rover Defender model that I saw on the internet. 2 days after he had the roof basket ready and full custome made for my 40.
