That truck looks great. Those coopers are one of my favorite tires. Great look!

Finally got the supercharger back from Scol. Now I can get some seat time with the new Dobinsons 3” flexi springs and the MRR shocks . Can’t forget the rear Delta bracket ....... So far it’s crazy plush compared to the OME heavies and Bilstein 5100’s I took off.

 

[SoTexCruiserDoc]

Looks great! But...white letters on the outside? Interesting choice.

Old school.....

Old school.....

I know. But there’s a time and a place for everything. Other than that aesthetic hiccup, he’s done a fine job with his first Land Cruiser.

What is your SC belt on? It's supposed to be on the tensioner pulley.

It’s super 1980’s and 90’s. I am old enough to remember.

People rehash styles. I noticed the mullet is making a comeback down in Australia.

Cheers

If you like the white out, go for it. Boss Hog is just being an

white out reminds me of the early 90’s. I think my first 94 Toyota pickup on 33’s BFG mud terrains was white out. Lol

Yup. I remember when only the coolest of the cool kids wore white letters out.

I say rock it!

Beautiful truck!! Especially love the tire and wheel combo. Perfect application and as fine an example of raised white letters with chrome wheels as I’ve ever seen.

I also remember those same kids wearing MC Hammer pants and mesh sleeveless shirts. Nobody wants to see that sh*t anymore...

Loved that truck, wish I still had it. Would cost an arm and a leg to buy one now but, I am considering it.

What year was the truck? Or what years are you interested in?

Give it time my man, that will probably come back around too. Stove tops are cool again so I guess hammer pants are right around the corner.

Mesh tanks...well, let's hope that takes a while

Unfortunately.....

I saw these on one of those jeep forums.......

 

[cvenom96]

So far replaced the alternator with a rebuilt Denso unit, idler pulley, and blue hub fan clutch. On deck for the rest of the weekend/week. New Denso radiator, replace transmission rubber lines at radiator and cooler, thermostat, belts, heater control valve, and cooling system flush. Still waiting on my lift so the 37s sit in the garage taunting me.....

Got my HF Apex 12000 with synthetic rope mounted. Picked it up on their 3 day sale for $499. Having a tough time trying to figure out where to mount the control box. I was going to disassemble it because the insides are so tiny it would be easier to place. But some of the wires I could not remove from the switches for some reason to get everything out of the housing. :\

Were any spacers needed for the winch or did it drop in?

86, short bed, 22R engine

I had to use 1/2" spacers. Got these off Amazon.

Amazon product ASIN B00390RLLY
The bolts the spacers come with are s***, get grade 8 from ACE instead. Also had to buy the offset hawse from Slee.
