What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (87 Viewers)

[letterman52]

Misty weather. Took the kids around the block and put on my Gobi toolbox that took 6 months to get. Also pulled the Warn VR12 off as it’s going on the Tundra. M8000 was shipped to me as a replacement.

replaced fuel filter, fuel lines and hose clamps with original Toyota clamps...but after installing the final clamp, noticed the PO just left the original clamps hanging on the line when he replaced them with the screw down type.

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen that on customer cars!!

Took it out for a run through town to stretch her legs and blow the dust off the hood. It’s been sitting in the corner of the shop for months.

If the rest of your 40 looks as good as that fender apron...WOW!

Hey Thanks! That means a lot. I spent a long time on the paint and body and painted most of it twice.

-You're welcome! I'm not alone to notice it! is it Freeborn red?​

​

"...painted most of it twice."​

-Do you mean two coats?

Multiple coats due to some form of trash in the base or clear. Bugs, leaves or something. I also on occasion had a few too many before painting some parts and ran the base and wouldn’t notice until the next day...

Drove right by you 7 years ago after my ‘lucky’ purchase in Macon!
Love your ride!

Went and picked up a square stern canoe. Going to put an outboard on it and start lake fishing a bit more.

How long is that canoe?

How long is that canoe?

16’, no data plate or anything. The guy thought it was a Grumman, it’s not, thinking Alumacraft(?).

I'm old....I have a 17' Grumman. Sucker is getting heavy and I think it will be too much for me to load on my 40. I'm looking for a 13-15' Grumman.

 

[JDNs78FJ40]

finally ordered a sniper kit

When do you start the appraisal install?

Does Grumman make canoes that short? I have a 17’ Grumman, double ender. I really like it, but wanted a square stern.
Is there a canoe thread on here?
