the fact you have liquid to fish doesn’t compute here! we had -52C with wind chill last week! thankfully i was cruising through the mountains in a balmy -20C the last couple days.
What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (17 Viewers)

Smog was up this month, went from partial desmog, to full smog and back to partial desmog. Then passed thanks to @NookShneer lending me his air pump since we learned of @Spike Strip smog rebuilder after.
Hopefully now that I ‘live’ in Lake county....she won’t be smogged anymore.

Finally got around to repainting the rear frame on my '84 in anticipation of a new receiver hitch. Sections of the rear crossmember I could see looked to be covered in surface rust. I was pleasantly surprised after pulling off the bumper it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Sanded things down, primed, and hit it with some epoxy paint:
So stoked to have this finally done. Been wanting to get to this since buying the truck 2.5 years ago.

Also managed to finally install an auxiliary fuse panel for powering various accessories. Still need to run wiring to it but ran out of time this weekend:

Also managed to install front door speaker adapter rings I got from @TheNeek. These worked out perfect. Now my aftermarket front door speakers are mounted properly, much better than the hack job I originally did on them. Up until about a week ago I had no idea these adapters were even available. A little thing but feels better knowing these speakers are not going anywhere. Thanks @TheNeek for the hookup.

Got all the door cards, cargo panels and tailgate roughed into CAD today. Still need to add a few more details, but they are very close.
These will be available soon in aluminum or ABS.

Is that VHT epoxy? Looks pretty good. Curious to know how it holds up

Yeah it is the VHT. I used it up front late last year and so far it seems to hold up nice. I like how it lays down. I am not sure how much 'epoxy' there is in it...just seems to be like any other paint in terms of how its sprayed and does not include the typical two chamber mixing setup I have seen with other spray epoxy type paints. I figured I would take a chance on this and go with something else if its not good. Dries pretty hard though so I like it so far. Has a nice balance between a shine and matte finish. Its better than the 'surface rust finish' that was on there. We shall see.
I ordered the Boss kit. Excited to get it installed!
best land cruiser color combo two-tone ever bud. congrats.
It’s been a few busy weekends!
I think I have finished playing bumpers...
Got it installed, lights wired to a 60 defrost/converted @FJ6T switch, wired the winch, and installed the battery cables @Fourrunner, and got the winch tensioned today.
YAY! So much fun to drive a 60/62!
...now I need to get a recovery kit put together...

For most of that you don't have to look farther than across the street from your shop
. I bought my snatch block, shackle, and D-ring receiver from 4 Wheel Parts several years ago. Take a walk across Menaul at lunch tomorrow and check them out.
Used her to get to my cabin.
That looks good. Someday I’m gonna see that rig in person.

Replaced with Marlin Crawler's u-joints and fixed a light 50-55 mph vibration!

Put in a 62 grab bar.
Got my front and rear add aleafs installed. No more “cruiser lean”
Took the 
and the pup for a little snow/sightseeing wheelin. Snow was really hard and crusty but the views were spectacular. Even saw some petroglyphs and a giant turtle (well at least a rock that looked like one)
