What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (13 Viewers)

Those look great. Where did you get the straps for the jump seats?

Thank you, I happen to agree.
As for the straps, @Nixon481 made a set for me. Great quality, fair price, and the color matches the OEM buckle latch thing on the underside of the seat.

@macdaddy59 The seat covers were from Cruiser Corps. I've seen the CCOT covers and they actually look pretty comparable to what I would say these came as. The old seat covers on both the jump seats and front seats were I think OEM and the quality there seemed really good, these covers are not that good quality, but they are very good I would say.

As for the foam, I reused my old ones. The driver's side was a little worn where you get in and out of the seat, but I added just a little extra quilting cotton to strengthen that side up.

Tested cheap ($13) chinese pressure washer attached sand blaster, worked surprisingly well. After that dipped the steering box in acid bucket. Now it’s ready for paint.

I'm thinking of heading down that-a-way in the next week or so. Good thing you remind me to make arrangements ahead of time. I'm dying to see it.

Threw in some oem door cards, reupholstered jump seats, added City Racer floor mat, and fixed some wiring. It was a good productive Saturday.

It wasn’t worthy of an episode, but I touched up steering a bit.

New fuel tank, sender unit and vapor recovery hoses.

47 years old hoses have to go. Likely would dissolve in E10 fuel:

Over braided hose for the authentic look....

How many bananas is that job?

6 I guess your referring to the plug wires. Put a dui in and those were the wires they recommend to use.

Sorry I've seen some people refer to difficulty level of a job as number of bananas from like 1-5 or on a scale from 1-10, how hard would you say it is to install the vintage air unit?
