Build What did you do to your Land Cruiser/Toyota/Lexus 4X4 this week?

[Living in the Past]

Unlike elk hunting when I go hunting oak never come home empty handed.

Ironically as I pulled in the driveway I see a number of elk bedded down. No pictures, I already have too many on my phone.

Replaced the front headlight adjustment housings, turned out pretty nice.

Mt. Lemmon for dispersed camping--first trip with the truck

I made a sleeping platform out of scrap rexroth 40mm strut from work. It’s extremely sturdy and weighs about 40lbs. It was built around a hest wide foamy mattress on top and fitting 4 small action packers and a pelican case underneath. Seems pretty good so far, going to try it on a 9 day trip and see how much I like it.

Building a DIY instrument and switch housing for Rusty. It will be for the turn signals, high and low beams, horn and cruise control. Building it as I go. Trying to bring in some geometric flair..., we will see once it all gets put together-

Testament to BFG durability.

I rolled these several times last year with healthy loads of wood stacked in the trailer.
This year I thought I would be pushing my luck to get another season out of them so I dropped the expensive dime and bought 2 new
KM3's for the front axle on the 40, and mounted the newer '06 models on the trailer. Figure I am golden for another 3 years.

I find it hilarious when I am out hunting and run across an 80 year old bfg half buried in the ground that has less dry rot than my 4 year old tires

Getting closer to turning it over and then figuring out what I screwed up...

That looks great!

Thanks, it worked out really well. Best sleep I have ever had on a 9 day trip.

Replaced the starter in my 77 with a remanded gear reduction from an 86 and replaced my radiator. Works great. It runs a little rough, but I’m sure when I use up my old gas it’ll purr again.

New dash cover is coming along...
