Wow. You are not messing around. Wow.
And now available with fender flares and side moldings.
Where can I get these flares? I keep hearing Iceland...but does no one import them?

These are made by a Icelandic company called Formverk I´m sure they will be happy to sell and send you a pair.
The english part of the webpage does not seem to work. Click "brettakantar" and then choose type of car too see some of the flares available. They do offer types not shown there.
Send them e-mail and ask for more infos.
Amazing! I absolutely love the color choice. Can't wait to see those big ass tires under those flares!!
The first blue landcruiser i seen so far. Really nice color, I like.
wow, great work so far. I love that color and flares (cant wait to see what goes under them).
Excellent work...love the images...thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Love the air horn mounted under the radiator! {Love the new color for the LC too!}

No big updates tonight.
This evening I was mostly doing stuff that no one will ever see.
Added some protection padding inside the flares and sound deadening inside the hood.
Also started assembling the rear lower gate.

A little update.
Been working in the cruiser all day. Had a lot done.
Installed the dashboard, the carpet and most of the seats. I´m painting the legs of the drivers seat and the paint is drying, will install that tomorrow.
I removed the felt from under the carpets i front of the drivers seats, replaced that with material called Eurobatex.
I have the same stuff glued inside all the doors and some more sound deadening on the inside of the doors too.
My friend came over and finished the subwoofer enclosure that fits inside the rear passengers side.
I also prepped and painted the grill and all the plastic around the lights and the vents in the front bumper.
These came in the mail ordered from ebay. My new fender flares are much wider than my older ones so spacers are needed since I´m only running 37" tires.

Some updates to day.
Finished working on the inner fenders on the front, used 1mm thick black plastic plate to close the gaps between the inner and outer fenders. Forgot to take a pic of that.
Then installed all the freshly painted parts from yesterday.
After that I test fitted my tires with the wheel spacers. I love this wide look
I also installed the rest of the dashboard, installed the rear lights and the wire harness to the lower tailgate. Glued in more sound deadening here and there on the inside oft the cab.
In the end of the day I did what I had the most fair of doing. Filling the gap between the fender flares and the body with. If you screw this up the first time it is hard to clean up the mess and redo it. I´m happy with my result.
Tomorrow I´m having a new windshield installed, and then I will drop it off at the paint shop to have some minor faults in the paint job taken care off.
I might have a night off tomorrow night.

That heater looks very similar to the ones used in older style air cooled VW's. Great idea Haffi. I think I want one now. Imagine going out to your 80 and the steering wheel is not freezin!
Yeah I used to have one in my thing, it used to scare the hell out of me...BTW truck looks awesome! great attention to detail

Me too. Looks real nice. Thanks for the updates!

Time for a update.
Last three nights I have mostly been working on the interior.
Waxed the inside of the doors, the side panels in the rear, the tailgate and inside the rocker panels with rust preventing wax.
Then installed the seat belts, then cleaned and installed the plastic panels.
Finished and installed the subwoofer enclosure. Need to trim the plastic a little better to make it fit. Decided to hide the woofer with carpet. Under the carpet there is a metal cover and a special speaker covering material to keep fibers from the carpet from the subwoofer
Installed the amplifier on the other side.
Kept working on the fiberglass speaker boxes for the rear doors. Made sure the boxes fitted the doors, glued them to a 16mm MDF plate that holds the speaker. Painted the MDF to make it a bit water resistant before I covered them with carpet. Then installed the speakers and sealed up the wires coming through the fiberglass. Now these are waiting to be installed this weekend.
I finished the front speaker pods. Filled and sanded them down a bit, then sprayed the pods with stone chipping material made for outside of cars to fill up and cover the rest of the sanding marks. Then I painted the pods with rattle can paint I found in a similar color as the vinyl on the door panes.
For now these are only stuck to the door panels, I might want to add screws all the way to the metal frame on the inside of the door. Will see about that after testing them like this.
Installed the lights to the bumper, still have to finish the wiring part of that, on the pic the lights are just hooked up to the battery on the floor.
The plan for the weekend is to make new running boards and finish the inside work.
Like I mentioned I earlier I´m having the upper tailgate made from fiberglass, hopefully I will get that from the fiberglasser tomorrow so I can have it painted asap.
It should have been ready three weeks ago but the fiberglasser has been giving me a hard time.
