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

[projectTuRD]

Cleaned up my NLA wiper arms and retaining nuts. I've got NOS OEM wiper blades, purchased before the list price went to $60/pair.

Replaced packings under wiper shaft nuts as well.

Yet another thing I need to track down...

Get used to it, there's always something!

 

[Skreddy]

Scraped a metric buttload of undercoating today. Last 1/3 of passenger wheelwell left. Though it’s no porter, gratuitous beer shot is from all of rkymtn’s thread inspiration.

 

[igotta40]

Nothing

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Nothing

Don't feel bad, same here.

Those are too new, but thank you! (They may fit a 69, I’m still learning)

I will eventually need a set for my 69. There’s none there now. Not super high on the list yet, but if you have a set taking up space, I can check that off.

Drove it across Houston and back to pick up my VW bus valve covers from Bayou City Coatings. Owner of the powder coat shop had a 40 in high school. We chatted a while. They do beautiful work.

Pre-holiday season planed new product offering :

tooling around with my planned Early First gen. Pull Switch Concept Visionary SEMA inspired type FOG / AUX Ditch Lamps etc ...

side by side comparison with some fresh reatore mid to late 70, hazard and wipe wash to see if I got the whole earlier then those thing down ?

I think is looks like a grandparent with the wider and deeper text font logo in JDM canary yellow ....

period correct pigment tones are a must have or why bother ....



it dawned on me some time ago the current available FOG knob non usa was not available till early to early 1974..ish


so this begs to ask , what the original FOG knob and or Switch was in a Post ROTORY switch era land Cruiser

was it a simple darth Vader type General pull switch like its call for the Darth lamp and a Room Lamp too ?

well ..........

we will see what happens ,


i also have a Late Model 1/79-Later Design intention below , as well ....

ALL Toyota Genuine parts all the time anything else would be passee'

 

[ToyotaMatt]

my 1/79 later Concept final prototype , this one came to be in some late night sput-nick SKUNK WORKS lab moment .......

i never looked back

my vision is a Toyota Factory Update if the 40 series was given a mild face lift in 11/84 Globally , and production continued thru the 1980;s at least , Much like the JEEP YJ Wranger platform did , and the outdated toyota fog look one now promoted by Toyota finally saw it's day ?

below is the comparison apples to apples .......

Finally received my west coast build.

 

[KingAir Driver]

Pulled it out into the sunshine.
