Builds What did you do to your Land Cruiser/Toyota/Lexus 4X4 this week? (2 Viewers)

Bikini for the minimum exposure. Or needs to trump garage space over all other vehicles you own,

Off roaded the LX470before waiting at the border after a great weekend on the Sea of Cortez

Topless - Who can recommend a good car cover?

View attachment 1351544

I would look at California Car Cover. They have a variety of different types of covers / fabrics for different environments and price points including some excellent fabrics for AZ. I recently picked up a Stormweave from them, very happy with the service and mine was a custom fit too. They got it right the first time.

Topless - Who can recommend a good car cover?

View attachment 1351544

One of my FJ25s came with this top made my a local awning shop. I followed link to custom car cover and only showed one cover for a 77 FJ40 which I'm guessing is for a hard top model. Have you checked SOR? Might also get more answers if you asked the question in the 40/55 section.

I had to trim off the back section of the stock exhaust on the GX after the last trip might have pinched it a bit. Finally did it. Added plus, is it dropped another 7 lbs off the truck weight and sounds much better.

Save the resonator. You may change your mind

I have been wanting a slide for the fridge for a while and finally pulled the trigger now that I think I am pretty settled on the trucks cargo layout.

Found the aux tank filler neck hose has a crack, only need 1 foot but only sold in 3 foot lengths. Has anyone priced 1-7/8" DOT approved filler hose lately?

I found 2 types, buy the soft type like radiator hose. Truth be told I ran rad hose for years due to the cost in the past.

Thanks Phil for prompting that last phone call, the local Carquest had exactly 12" of NOS for free.
$1.50/inch is the going price.

Finally got the disc brake conversion done, and bled. The toughest part of the job was not the brake hardware, the booster or the master cylinder, though I had issues with that also. The output of the booster was too long, depressing the master cylinder at rest. The toughest part, by far was running new brake lines and finding junctions that wouldn't leak. Done. And while I was at it, I put new rear shocks on, as the old ones had 20 or so years on them. Went with the Pro-Comp ES3000-232500.

Nice job Don! When are you available to do mine

I have nothing but positive about those Pro-Comps, same as I run on my 40..

What year is yours? If you don't need to run new brake lines, it is a fairly easy job.

I've got another roof rack (flat, for FJ80) here at the house that was sent to me by mistake. Trail Tailor will discount it rather than me shipping it back if anyone here in the valley is interested. Needs priming, painting, & mounts.

Pics of the rack.... My brain fart is someone's gain.

I have some spare stuff that I accumulated, and learned a few tricks, and also found some things that didn't work.
