What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (45 Viewers)

Preparing to retire from the sill sticker business today. These things get harder to sell off with each new batch. I have 5 left, and there will be no more. See the sale thread in the Small Business area for details. Last 5 ever! - Repro Toyota sticker for FJ40 rear sill

Scofflaw run to the gas station. First time on the road or above 20 mph in years (40 mph was good enough for today ). It's kinda without registration, insurance, good tires, fully working lights...and it was a blast to drive the short distance to the station and back. First time in years with a full tank of fuel.

I replaced a spring in the turn signal stalk and then took its next owner out for a spin. It’s amazing how much of the week’s stress melts after away after an hour or two at 1100 rpm and 8,000 feet.

Put the front seats back in after having them recovered. Went with Cruiser Corps upholstery, happy with the results. I've got my headrests painted black to match, just waiting for the paint to dry.

Washed some of the stink off from its first wheeling excursion.

So far - this hubcap is the worst casualty:

Haven’t gotten fully underneath yet to see what I smashed. I know I took a couple of good diff/axle hits. I drove it 100mi home after wheeling and it did fine so I don’t expect anything catastrophic.

Took my brothers ‘76 out into the Bradshaw Mtns for some fresh air! Also brought Mom.

Drove around the mountains all day yesterday looking for fishy places.

My wife asked me if I would help her look for a lost dog in the desert on Friday night. So let me think a weekend of wheeling in the desert with no complaining !!! Okay sure lets go. She asked are you sure this is a road? well sure

So good weekend spotted the dog once and still lost may go back out again tomorrow!

Installed OME lift, Maxxis Razrs on steelies with hub caps.

Went for a quick hike but accessing the trail required a little 4WD.

The Palo Verde trees are still in full Bloome.

After this last climb I parked the old girl as I was solo and really needed a spotter.

On foot from here and the climb got a little steep. looking to the West you can see the trail I came in on.

Found an old wind mill still pumping enough fresh water for a refill. Reached the ridge in the back round to view Happy Valley East of the Rincon mountains.

According to the app, I climbed 54 stories once on foot.

Good Update The lost dog (Not Mine) was found this morning. She is home recovering after 4 nights in the desert.

I picked up my engine from the rebuilder, and installed the bell housing, flywheel, and new clutch. Apparently I threw away the little clips that hold the throw out bearing to the fork. Just my luck. I’m guessing the chances of finding those locally are slim to none.

What are the little disc looking things on the freeze plugs on the back of the block?

 

[mrboatman]

Those look like heat tabs for the warranty.

[Hip2bSquare]

Exactly.....heat tabs. I think he said they melt at either 250 or 300 degrees.
