you have to open the dash, that is, on the side of the instrument cluster you have to take the trim off (and air vent) and reach down. The passenger side you remove the air vent and/or remove the glove box.

So it sounds like I remove the outer metal sides of the dash to access the speakers.
Hope I don't need to remove the instrument cluster to access the drivers side speaker.
The passenger side appears to be more accessible.
Thank you

Pretty sure it's cluster out to get at the drivers speaker. There are no removable panels. I just installed my door speaker pods and had to remove wiring for the dash speakers so I could extend for the door speakers. Cluster came out to do it. Not a huge deal to pull it.
you have to remove the "trim" piece that goes around the instrument cluster, the big brown/grey-blue plastic, then get to the speaker from the top, this is for the drivers side.
Looks like a couple H55F transmissions and transfercases, an aux fuel tank and is that a trackbar ?
Very nice....
Front swaybar.
Shimmed my turbo ~ 10mm. Now it makes swoosh sounds. In all seriousness I think 10mm is a sweet spot for now until I get my Arduino EGT and boost gauges figured out. Good turbo response, got rid of the black smoke, and just seems like the 13bt has been waken up a bit. For $2 this was a great “mod”.
Sourced the correct switch. No more aftermarket switches.
Met up with @joekatana in Austin yesterday to pick up a spare motor and checked out a cool 80 series he was delivering to a client of his.

For new speakers in my BJ74 I think I had to remove the gauges and some hvac piping too I think...I recall using a primitive right-angle phillips screwdriver at one point. The original speakers had some funky brackets on them that I had to modify for the new ones.
@divemedic beer is very important for any work being accomplished on a land Cruiser. you don't even have to do any work to have a Beer, you can just sit in it and ponder what you are going to do and have a beer.
Speakers are actually good and I plan to add another pair. Should be enough to drown out the Diesel engine.
It has a diesel engine ?
Those are the wrong fuel cans.Added some extra fuel capacity for those long treks to WalMart.
I know but they are the only ones that have nozzles.
I've added nozzles to my Christmas list.
Yep I completely forgot to send yours.
G'Day Fella's,
I posted some info on this before but only just got around to applying this Wurth product to the Battle Cruiser.
The under body of the Battle Cruiser, is in remarkable good condition (especially when I see some northern hemisphere vehicles), for a 29 year old vehicle.
So wanting to keep things this way, I needed to do some Preventative Maintenance. I made the time, and got to work.
I'll let the images do the talking;
The product;
Before RHS Rear;
After scraping off the loose factory coating LHS Rear;
After the Wurth product was applied RHS Rear;
You can see here, where I have applied the Wurth product, to the edge around all four wheel arches and to the rear area (same at the front) of the guard.
Hope that helps
D'oh!
