That looked like you could have been badly hurt, glad you are better! Even without all the new safety stuff these cruisers take a beating.

I’m looking for a new door handle. If the front passenger side is cracked, do you think I can use a rear one to put up front?

Was literally reading through posts in 2019 after a search brought this thread up to me and thinking how great your 60 was looking when I got to the Tbone. So sad...glad your alright and glad you found a new 60!

Yeah thanks.
It was a great project when I bought it. Literally a diamond in the ruff. After 6 years I had dialed it in and it was running great never failed me. Then the T-bone happened and lost it. After three broken ribs and a clavicle i found one after I healed. Almost hung up the Landcruiser boots. Luckily this new one came along.
And back in the saddle again.

Ouch. That sucks!

Got the center part of the carpet installed. Installed the rear seats. And the front seats. Lots of small cuts to do.

Also got the rear license plate light functioning again. That pesky wire between the tailgate door seems to crack within time.
All good now!

Brought out some shine on the old paint today!

Temp went to red today,
I burped the system and she is running cool now.

 

[RodrigzCrzr]

Changed the rear differential gear oil and cleaned up the frame a bit.

 

[RodrigzCrzr]

Cruiser is looking stout!

Rear brake inspection and painting the rear drums.

Yes sir Indeed.

I replaced the dash lights with LED bulbs. May try the white ones .
Either way they look good and bright.

 

[RodrigzCrzr]

Switched over the @Forerunner battery cables ove to my replacement Landcruiser.

 

[RodrigzCrzr]

Little bit of emblem refurbishing.

 

[RodrigzCrzr]

Changed out the drain plugs on the diff’s and the transfer case.
Also slowly getting LED’s installed on the rig.
License plate bulb makes a big difference.
