What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (43 Viewers)

Finally had the new seat covers installed and got them installed in the 40.

Looks good. What brand?

Located and installed an original fuel filter bracket along with the OEM fuel filter. Seeing all the fishing posts, closest I have is a pale ale with a picture of a fish!

Traded my 35s for some 37 beadlock military tires.

Drove the 40 up to Detroit lake last weekend... Great day. No shot of the 40, but here's a shot off the bow...

Mounting my roof rack, I had a local shop bend some channel that will allow me to remove and install the rack without removing the gutter clamps or crossbars. So I now have the groundwork laid for a method of transporting fly rods fully assembled and ready to go, with or without a roof rack installed.

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Drilled the holes to mount to the gutter clamps and the holes for the rack, rounded the edges to help avoid nasty cuts.

It's a one person operation installing the rack.

For now, that will probably change once I put an expanded metal "floor" on the rack.

From the photo it looks like you could hit your head on the end of the front cross rail.

@rkymtnflyfisher, I really like what you did for your cross bars, great idea.

Well the SST doesn’t work with a Diamond axle and Marlin 25mm upgrade so a couple bushings with some aluminum HVAC tape to take up the slop

What wheels are those? I like those, i have a 1972 FJ40 original axles and am looking for new wheels.

I finally mounted the factory air cleaner for my diesel conversion. It's going to be tight quarters in this poor little engine bay.

I'll have to put it all back together and check that out, getting in my head usually goes in first so I think it'll be alright, but definitely worth checking out. It really only sticks out past the top maybe an inch or so.

As far as walking by and hitting the bar, you'd need to be 6'10" or so!

What is missing? What’s that thin one?

Painted the front half. Both coats are epoxy primer despite of the color. First time for me to use a spray gun, it was quite rewarding working.

I have a question : wouldn't you want to properly weld the back half onto the front half first before painting anything ?
