What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[Blue77FJ40]

It does have the 40 series top. I purchased the H55F a couple years ago. I can't remember the gentleman's name. Somewhere out west...Oklahoma maybe. The assembly came out of a BJ40 from Norway or Denmark I don't remember exactly. I purchase the correct input shaft and bearings for a 2F. OTRAMM was recommended as the shop that could handle the rebuild.

Good choice. Ryan has a really good rep.

Took one of my daughters fly fishing in the Short Bus. It was her first time. If you’ll indulge me a few extra words, there are some significance to the second pic.

The rod she is using was hand made by my grandfather. It was a gift to my dad in 1980. My dad had a flood in his basement a year back and I found it in his basement. The hand tied tapered tippet still had knots that they tied. I had taken it out a few times, but never landed a fish. So what you see there is the first fish that rod has landed in decades and it was done in the hands of the great grand daughter of its maker on her first day fly fishing. All in all, a pretty cool day!

This is one of the warmest, happiest, meaningful things I've read on the internet lately. Good stuff.

Had a credit with Amazon so I used to to buy a new fairlead And bump stop. Nice change I think.

Found these locally for $50.

finished the mounts for my shortened 79 series pick up bed onto my 84' BJ45...

Starting to accumulate parts for another FJ60 steering conversion.

Bilsteins front and rear. PO put $1200 worth of rubber on the wheels but never replaced the shocks. Wish I could get some of that dental work back; rides like butter now. Also hardtop off for summer

Took the 40 to the hardware store for some nuts and bolts to reinstall the secondary fuel tank I refurbished (wire wheeled the rust, painted with rust preventer) and smelt a bit more coolant at 55mph then normal. Came home to coolant everywhere

 

[FJ404345]

As at some places it has to be cut I layed the old floor mat next to new floor mat, because im going to put in the new one tomorrow morning

Thanks again @Racer65 for developing this beautiful product !

 

[Jordan85]

Almost done with my OME lift. Medium springs in the rear and BEEF in the front to accommodate my M8274 winch. Thanks again Georg @orangefj45 for all the pointers!

Aaaannnddd I just realized the front springs are backwards.

Replaced my fried 50 AMP ammeter on my 60180 FJ40 gauge cluster.

Got the ole 40 out to help me take down this tree. It was growing opposite direction I wanted it to fall and I wasn't sure I could keep it off the block wall. Pictures kind of show the lean and video shows the rest. I did a notch cut, a bit of tension and back cut the hinge then let the 8274 do the work.

 

[letterman52]

Found out powdercoaters aren’t essential. Coated the doors I made in chassis saver for the time being. Also mounted the bib hoop.

Had the rad in the 45 go in pretty much the same areas. Had it out 4 times and 2 different shops before it was finally fixed at the cost of a new OEM rad!. It was recored the first time but the first shop didn't tin the inside of the tanks when they had it apart so then the upper tank cracked and they had to patch it in the outside at the second shop so it looks like hell but at least it's finally sealed. If I was in your shoes I would just buy a new rad!

 

[Catching Neutral]

Met up with a friend at 830 and had a nutritious breakfast of donuts ....then put 100 miles on her wheeling at Eglin preserve. Rattled quite a few bolts loose in the process.

 

[Godwin]

Gassed it up.

Since it lacks good lights, registration, insurance, and is driven only on the farm I added a reflective triangle. It's now an ag vehicle

Filling up right along with another tractor.

I’m digging the coffee cup sleeves on the passenger floorboard. Bad ass!
