TOYOTA PIC OF THE DAY POST (7 Viewers)

I spend a good portion of my job looking a wiring diagrams for issues. I though a great homage to Landcruisers and what I do for work would be to print out Landcruiser wiring diagrams to hang on my shop walls.

Or just get the tattoo?

It’s alive! Rear brakes are Caesar salad but it’s alive!

Sick titties

Or just get the tattoo?

That'd take up some acreage.

I'm still parsing caesar salad...

Shredded lettuce?

Extra anchovies ?

Too much dressing?

Explain dammit

Old work habit i guess. "Newfie word of the day"-caesar salad.

Took me a sec to figure out how to read both gauges. I've not seen one quite like it before. It certainly saves some space.

My ambo has a wiring a wiring diagram printed and attached above all the fuses, relays, wiring, and electrical components. Handy as can be. If it wasn't there I'd have been hooped several times.

Westach gauges. Old fashioned sweeper needles. twin airplanes of the same vintage use same to save space.
It sort of appeals to me, this old truck isn't a digital truck.

Met a real interesting guy who built his own aluminum 60 series. Lives just over the hill from my place.

It’s sat in the trees for years since these pictures and needs a lot of love but I know just the guy for it!

More to come.. probably a dedicated thread!

I gotta see if I can find that article I read about it. I think it was in a printed newspaper in the 90s

 

[bikersmurf]

That’s an impressive accomplishment.

If I’d built it, it wouldn’t be parked under a tree and left to rot.

Perhaps I’m biased, but I’d be more inclined to build a 4 door 40 series on a 60 series chassis. It would be so much easier to build with simple radius bends and flat panels. I’d think it could be built in 1/2 the time that would have taken.

Some guy in Nova Scotia bought this. @cruiserpilot , figured you'd like the color.

@stevebradford Was that guy from Campbell River? Built the truck years ago? If so he was my buddy’s neighbor. Always wondered what happened to that thing. Cool find.

 

[stevebradford]

That’s him! Built in a boat fab shop after hours.

Greats news, the body is staying local to BC.

 

[bcsteel]

Looks like fun. I heard it was machined from
A single block of 6061.

Looks like you won’t have time for those locking axles. I’ll take em off your hands.

Just kidding man. That’s a friggen sweet score.

Didn't he work for wolf boats up island building aluminum boats ? I have a vague memory of that project or a very similar one...

 

[Toshi38]

Yep he did

Guys who breathe aluminum welding fumes all day get a little different.
