I must have been smoking crack thinking I could drive the truck with wire ties on my CV boots!

After I took the above pictures I took the truck to town for some errands. About 10-15 miles of driving. When I got home I looked under the truck and both outer CV boots had popped off and I had a huge mess under the truck! I lost about half a tube of grease from each CV. I ordered the Pfran clamps and got them yesterday. I have a second set of boots in hand for my upcoming trip so I used some of that grease to fill back up the boots, put on the clamps and feel I am good to go now.

By the way, my CVs were all in good shape, so I see no reason I can't get another 135k miles out of these before they are done. I drove around with them leaking for well over 6 months. Both outers had a 100 series version of birfield soup in them but other wise were fine. Cleaned them, greased, them, new boots and now Pfran clamps. Also rebuilt the front wheel bearings. The Cruiser drives excellent, no worries here.


I am down to a handful of things to do on my truck. 4-6hrs of work, maybe 8hrs and it is ready to go. Going to tear the front diff out again at Valley Hybrids to fit the e-locker and brakes. Also going to replace all the dust seals and diff seal, I didn't replace these when I had the front end apart last week. Got myself a nice stash of repair parts for the upcoming trip. I should be able to fix most of the common issues on the truck while on the road with these parts. I am feeling like the truck is ready to go for 50k or more miles drama free. I will certainly find out!

Cheers
 
930am to 3am yesterday working on the truck! :eek:

Just got the bolts I needed to mount up my fridge and fridge slide, my fishing rod holder and my Roadshower. Made a mounting bracket for the Roadshower yesterday, ready to bolt it on now. Got my propane tank mount done and on the roof rack as well. Jerry can carrier and ladder are mounted up and done. So is my Front Runner BBQ, that has been sitting in a box since I got home from Baja 2yrs ago!

All I got today besides what I already mentioned is fit the front skid plates, top off my front diff, install some cotter pins in my front end, fit my din cubby bay and install the master switch I just got today from UAE.

I think the truck is then done until I get out of here. In Boise I am installing hammock holders to the bumpers. In Oregon I am getting a new windshield installed and then a load of stuff to do at Valley Hybrids and this truck is a done deal.

Next two days will be finishing up loose ends and I am off! :)

Cheers

Have fun man, post up along the way. Love the build, the purple looks awesome ;) If you're coming through Denver, and need to stop give a shout.
 
Loving the progress of your build!

Bunch of parts left for you today!
 
Just finished the build at 245am! Everything always takes longer than we think right!? :lol:

Or at least finished it in my shop, next up is a few things in Boise and California before it is 100% done!

Cheers
 
What Land Cruiser build would be complete without racing stripes!? ;)

Ya that is Monstaliner. Been my plan all along to do the racing stripes! Haha! I slacked though and didn't feel like doing the side accent stripe.
