What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (20 Viewers)

[777Gage]

BRF is my favorite shop over in West Yellowstone, mostly for the fact that they sell huge patches of fur. You can go hand pick your fur specifically for the flies you're tying.


My shirt for tomorrow.

WOW, now that's impressive.......If you ever need anything, ask for Brian, tell him your a friend of his brothers. He's one of the people that even if he wasn't my brother, I'd be fortunate to have him as a friend. That's me on the left......great day with him on the Madison!

That is hilarious, I went on a float trip down the Madison in 2015 with a guide named Brian out of Blue Ribbon Flies!

Started in on the metaltech roll cage, had to straighten the tw/o rear hoops, but otherwise coming together nicely. Still need to get the thing painted.

Awesome, there's only one Brian there. He's been there for well over 15+ years....living the dream for sure. Hope you had a great time!

We've recently been looking in the Boise area (our sister's husband died last Nov, with 5 kids) We would be closer to MT than we are now for sure, but finding a totally new career for the next 15+ years is not looking favorable so far......

Was the rear hoop a little twisted for you too?

 

[81fj40]

Both hoops were a little twisted. Took a fair bit to get them twisted back, upwards of 19 inches of pull on one..

Mine wasn't that bad, but it wasn't great either.

 

[81fj40]

I sent an email to metaltech describing the issue, and while I certainly did not expect everything to be perfect, this was a bit onerous on my part to fix it, as you can see. They make some good quality stuff, I just think their level was out of tune.

Did you actually get it straightened? That seems like a ton of twist. I am feeling very lucky right now as my family cage from them did not have that issue. I did have to bend the tubes that go from the front floor boards to the hoop behind the driver.... mine were just a bit off nothing like that.... I would think they would send a free replacement for something that bad.... best of luck with the cage and send more pics as you progress!

 

[ToyotaMatt]

I hand made some badly needed Lighter repair kits complete with a extra heavy duty period correct faithful reproduction service spec. connectors ..

Plug and Play is the only way ........

Then ,

I moved on to very special small job scope :

reproduction His and Hers double room lamps across the top of the front hard doors Sub-Harnesses

one on each side of the 40 hard top proper mounting locations

oem green tint yazaki bullet sheeths and correct Red / black tracer stripes is the only way .........

 

[CruiserheadFJ40]

Probably never be this pretty again but cant wait to get it all together on the truck.

Yep, got both straightened out. They weren't that bad, about 1/2 to 1 inch off, but made a big difference when installed. Just took a lot of force to get that small twist fixed.

Finishing up the piggie.

What did you use for edge welting?

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

 

[GSager]

Took the dash cap off to see what was under there and then reattached it with a little mounting tape. Not sure what the bolt in the dash is all about, but the cap isn't slipping around anymore.

Final piece of the puzzle going in the 64 project...

Just arrived from Summit Racing...

DUI with LiveWires...

This and the Sniper 2GC make a nice combo!
