Can't remember specs buts it's around 90hp .... Or was 11 yrs and 110k miles ago
Headed out to Manoa Valley to enjoy some time in the nature.
Also, forgot to post this photo from a few weekends back....it's one of my favorite poser shots of my Land Cruiser, just looks right at home on that deserted beach.
This shot was taken just before the new front bumper install.
And post bumper install.

I bought a propane turbo heater to be able to work on the 80 in the cold barn...

Yeah, it's a German shop that sells them. I used one at the base rental shop. I don't know if they ship to the US, either.
Woke up to 18 inches of snow. Thanks for posting that.
I finally got nervous with the OEM radiator cap leaking, while I wait for the replacement to come in via the sloooooow boat across the Atlantic, so I installed an el cheapo Murray rad cap I got when I first bought it. So far, no leaks and I haven't been vaporized in a space/time tear in the fabric of the universe, but we'll see....

I made what ended up being a 6 hour road trip to pick up a bumper (Thanks GreenTruck). The wind was pretty strong on the way back. I had the pedal matted and it wouldn't accelerate depending on how bad the headwind got. Then my truck decided to deflare itself. I heard it flap a few times, then a clunk and I knew the right front flare was gone.
The previous owner made a mess of this fender. The flare was secured poorly but had held up to this point.
After much hammering and sanding this is my solution for now. I plan on lining the whole truck in the summer.
Obviously I'm going around the whole truck. Here's to another project!

For the flares, I have been looking at these below. Ship to the US from AUS. They look very unique.

I have one of those. I've seem them sold at many of those permanent tool vendors at flea markets and car shows.

Upgrades are coming.
Looks pretty good
For those of you looking for a better oil filter wrench, this is what I've been using. As it tightens, it dents into the filter with the bar for grip, there's nothing I've come across yet that this thing couldn't break free.
Do you guys tighten the filters too much, to the point of being unable to get them out by hand?

This is what I was wondering... I've literally never had to use a filter wrench of any kind on my 80.
