Out there the term is "Folsom Wives" from what I remember.
Just hit the Chik-fil-a on E bidwell any week day at lunch time. Nothing but small kids and moms in yoga pants as far as the eye can see.

Out there the term is "Folsom Wives" from what I remember.
Luckily for me the Cruiser isn't my DD. The AC is super cold in the 4Runner.
I'm a sweaty mess though. It sort of sucks I have more free time in the summer to work on the Land Cruiser and 4Runner.
This year I invested in a canopy and mister system. I'm about to pull the plug and get a portable swamp cooler.
Yes sun roof manifests in the headliner, windshield manifests in bottom corners of windshield and back firewall.
Also it might not be sunroof drains, but the gasket allowing more water than the drains can deal with. My drains are totally clear but the water ends up on the floor.. I found that it flows across a small plastic part, into a screwhole, then onto the headliner.. with much of the water missing the drain pan completely.
Vinyl tape and unhooking the sunroof switch was my solution.
are there any threads on welding the sunroof shut? Did all 80s come with a sunroof, or can you get a good donor panel in USA?
is that your black truck? Did they make the panel for the truck, or cut out of another roof? I'd just be concerned about getting the curve right.

Yeah that is my black truck when I took it in for paint and mods. They cut my hood vents in, cut the large intercooler cut out in the bumper, pulled and patched the sunroof, made metal ground effects for the fenders and rockers.
They made the panel. You can not tell.
Bad photo but I didn't take any specifically of the roof.

Tons of cruiser support through Cali, what parts of the state are you headed to? NorCal, SoCal?
Both north and south California. Up around the Bay Area at first, then LA, Orange County, San Diego, and then back up to San Francisco.What part of CA are you visiting @Aloha Jen ?
We did have tentative plans to head out that way and visit the Land Cruiser Museum in Utah, but Mike went on a last minute trip to Ireland. He's there now, and keeps sending me pictures of all these cool diesel Land Cruisers we don't get here.If you and Mike are in the Boulder, CO area you have dinner and plenty of drinking on the house!Safe travels.

Turns out there is a Land Cruiser restoration business right down the street from my families farm property in Gilroy CA. The name was Custom Cruisers, and they had like twenty 40 series plus a few 60's there. It was pretty awesome!

Also saw this cool old man with his arm out the window cruising in his nice 62. I honked at him, but he just ignored me. Maybe he was creeped out by me photo stalking him!

I hope those bars are further from your head than they appear. I'm no expert but I have a friend who bonked his helmeted head on the cage in his race car and he was out of work for a year because of his concussion.
