FJ62 to 100 Series - Land Cruiser Journey Continues

[saucebox]

Nice find. It seems to have the lockers, gears and suspension already upgraded. In my experience you can go a long ways without spending big money on the aftermarket bumpers. In fact you can even run a winch under the plastic bumper (you will need to buy a winch mounting plate).

As for moving the switches to the overhead console, @BenCC has created wonderful products for our trucks. I happen to have an extra six switch mount sitting on bench that I am no longer planning to use. It will bolt right up to your overhead console. Here are a couple of pics. PM me if you are interested:

I use the same—outstanding bit of kit.

Detailed the interior over the weekend - she's looking pretty fine.

I also placed my Dissent Front and Rear bumper order and ordered front drive lights, rear work lights from Stedi.

Ordered 8 switches to replace the current ones .. to get everything being matchy matchy once the Stedi lights arrive.

I am going to remove the lightbar up top and replace the roof rack completely with 4 footpads and my Alu-Cab Gen III RTT, howver Tiny Rig seems to have mailed the footpads to the wrong address, so hopefully we clear that up soon enough.

Power button: I believe use when you need more oomph (passing semi on uphill stretch of I70 or....). I think it's a quick downshift thingy....could be wrong/could be right.

2nd button: use when there is to much torque causing wheel spin on start up (say 1st low spinning in sand). Again wrong/right.

Some updated photos of cruiser porn. Got the FJ62 started with a fresh key (old one couldn't turn the cylidner) and I moved her to the front street.

Undid the roof rack, me and 3 buddies plan to tackle swapping the roof from the FJ62 to the 100 series this evening after the kids go to bed.

But the real reason for this post, pics of both cruisers together (yes that is a coolant leak on the FJ62):

Had buddies over after the kids went down to swap the tent over. Went really well! Both trucks need a bath desperately.

I forgot about this thread. Time for an update.

Dissent Bumpers + Stedi lights installed

35's Installed

Denver to Austin (Week of Remote Work in the woods)

RTT Lift in Garage installed

Snow Tires Installed

Lots of snow

Having fun in the snow

Also - got into Leadville 100, so there will be lots of camping and mtb'ing around Colorado and Utah leading up to the race in August, if others here have interest in joining.

I am shocked you can get into your garage with a lift, 35s and a RTT

First step when house hunting, measure the garage clearance!

Oil change and tires balanced yesterday. Making the monthly pilgrimage to Park City to work remote and hopefully capitalize on some snow that is forecasted to fall.

Took the truck down to Altitude Offroad for some help in organizing the wiring of my 12v accessories. Engine bay looks so much better, now I just need to tap into the correct wire to get my switches to light up red when we headlights are turned on. Struggling to get this done correctly for some reason.

Lots of updates since the last post.

Joolca shower
Two 9 Gallon water bladders (sides of rear drawers)
Dissent Roof Rack
Alu-Cab 270 Shadow Awning
Dissent Small Stinger/Hoop
Front Fog Light Bar Stedi
Front Spots Mounted on Small Stinger/Hoop
Soft Solar up top the tent
More interior switches, dual voltmeter

It’s pretty much done! It was very hard to do the awning solo. Wish I would’ve thought that install through more and used clamps to hold it in place. Have three more lights to put on, side lights for camping, and one Stedi front roof light for night. I have been fussing with different lights during my 1am departures from Denver to Park City, UT -- hopefully I have found the right combo of lights for all the fog, snow and animals we experience.

Wow need to send in an update — I’ll update with the latest pic here, added marine carpet to my ADGU shelves.

I’ll post an update on Sunday of the truck as it sits today. It’s been awesome.

 

[jackhossross]

Put it back in this evening, looks even better back in the trunk. Might need to do the upper part as well.

Reason for the marine carpet was to help the dogs have traction back there .. and ease of cleaning. Not sure what I’ll do on the upper part there.

Looks really good! Much better than the go to coin rubber floor

Also - anyone looking for perfect fitting ADGU bags for the 100 series, these are absolutely perfect fit: Step22

Tried to upgrade to Group31 battery last night, but the Slee terminal connectors do not fit with the double post tops of the 2x power extreme.

Need to figure this out, as I’d like to go forward with a group31 battery with the Slee tray.

 

[jackhossross]

After fussing with my battery, I re-installed the old one and went out to make sure I had everything hooked up everything correctly again. Took a few pics.

Lastly, I have successfully installed a wolfbox reverse mirror with camera. This has been a huge upgrade.

Plan to run my reverse camera wires tonight. Will have one run to my aftermarket HU (license plate frame) and another to the rear of my rack (wolfbox mirror).

I’ll move the rear of my rack camera to my Alu-Cab RTT once I mount it back on mid march.
