Sahara Style Wheel Flares (Aftermarket) for 60 Series Landcruiser - by FRP Flares
Ultimate style and class; the Sahara Style Flares. NOTE: flares are made-to-order, manufacturing lead time can be up to 4 weeks, we appreciate your patience! Sahara’s traditionally came with fibreglass flares; they gave them a stronger, thicker and even ‘stauncher’ look 😤 It’s hard to track down...

Yeah, those look original. Makes me wonder if your vehicle was imported. Afaik, those were never on NA models.

Is there a way to tell (steering wheel is on the left, anyway)? It's an 88 with manual windows and locks, which I thought was odd, but recently learned that's an 88 thing.

Check your input gear splines for wear before you get too far. Highly highly recommend a long spline input gear if you aren’t planning on doing 4:1 gears.

How do the splines look?
The "splines" are on the inside bore of the (any) gear. The "teeth" are on the outside.
Gotta take the gear back off to see the splines.

Right. Luckily, I haven't taken it off yet.

Spline shots...
Nice build, following as i want to do the same (my engine leaks from both main seals, transmission sucks, etc). What is the plan for electronics?

Thanks! Will probably go with a PSI harness and am going to do everything I can to keep the original gauges. I might even try to add in cruise control, but we'll have to see how things work out. That part feels so far off right now though...
Looks solid to me.

I would still get the HD input gear as @cruisermatt mentioned worth every dollar.
I'm just starting my swap, taking the body off the chassis. Also using an LS with 132k on it. My father in law bought it new in 88, in California. We now have it in Idaho. 326k on it.

Did a lot of work this weekend, but don't feel like I made much progress. Basically spent the weekend cleaning the engine bay, removing unnecessary pieces (e.g., carb fan) and extracting broken bolts.
Below are the after shots. Please let me know if there's anything else I can safely delete from the engine bay.

While cleaning, I also learned that my power steering lines had rusted through. Will need to source some of those...but do they need to be modified to mate with a GM power steering pump? Any advice is appreciated. Also, there seems to be a lot of play in the PS box itself - wondering if the 37 inch tires have done the PS box in.
Last question for today - I'm using the stock cross member and want to be sure the transfer case is as close to the stock position as possible. I tried fitting the transmission mount to the AA adapter and noticed the two bolts that connect the mount to the crossmember are offset, not centered. Any thoughts on of this should be offset toward the engine? Or offset towards the transfer case?
