What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (6 Viewers)

[Cruiser Jimmy]

Finally got a key blank made that I had laying around for years. Then out of $25 in Napa parts, fabricated my eliminator bracket.
One last thing is to weld that 12 mm nut on the top of the bracket.

Now I'm working on rebuilding the air pump and putting it up for sale.

Almost traded my 62 for a 40. The deal fell through but no worries, I recently purchased another 40 so I have the best of both worlds

I connected a trailer to it....another project almost complete.

Welded on a new rear tailpipe mount and made up a tire lifter thingy for the hi-lift.

Added a new sticker and a cup holder that actually works to hold a cup.

I put in the Odd Iron Offroad Cargo Light LED, an LED Dome Light, and LED reverse lights in Rosey. I'm looking forward to this evening to see how bright they are. Really a job except for figuring out why my tailgate has to be slammed super hard to turn the cargo light off. Thanks for doing all the hard work Rob!

Did another job, put in the felt back in under my hood.

@DrivingMissRosey Got links for those? Looks like a pretty neat and clean install.

Finally got around to finishing up the wiring for the butt warmers. Wife likes them the PT Cruiser seats much better than the old stock seats and even said she like them better than the leather ones in our '11 4Runner SR5!

Busbar location under the glove box. This is a Blue Seas dual busbar and currently have these powered off the glove box light. So they only have power when the lights are on right now. When I fell like pulling the dash apart again (possibly tomorrow) I am going to see if I have the spare "CLOCK" plug that some of the later model cruisers have that was there for the optional Inclinometer and/or Clock display that went in the little cubby under the deck.

@gregnash I got these from Odd Iron Offroad out of Georgia. Over view of Odd Iron Off Road and offerings for Land Cruisers and off road vehicles

Rob Smith, the proprietor, makes a high quality product and has great customer service. His pride in his products show.

Pulled my manifolds. The fun never ends. Someone prior to me went a tad liberal with the red lipstick inside and out of the gasket.

Nice cup holder! Sweet use of a hole saw. Now I need to to see if I have that size kicking around. And nice to see the well loved worn 60. Cool stickers!

Took the afternoon off from a home improvement project. Drove the FJ60 up Phantom Canyon to Victor. Had lunch at the Gold Camp Bakery & Deli (highly recommended). Then took Shelf Road back to Canon City.

Always enjoy that drive......even when 3/4's of the people you meet in the blind curves are knuckleheads driving in the middle.

Started refreshing my front grill today with some Turtle Wax Aluminum polish and some fine steel wool. I figured it couldn't hurt...

Here's a pic "in progress"

Here is a "before" close up of the top edge...

Here is an "after" shot. I was really surprised to get a mirror like finish on the plastic.

It takes a little bit of elbow grease, but I am very happy with the results so far...

Is the Shelf Road the old Florence & Cripple Creek narrow gauge roadbed? I've never been north from Canon City, I always hit that part of Colorado through Hartsell on CO 9.

Brought Poppy in the shop to start building a few custom bumpers for me and a couple of clients.

Other than maybe copper spray, aren't those supposed to go on dry?
