Looks great! I so need to do this!
What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

Same!!! I have the headliner. I just need to put it in!
I have a new one in an unopened box that I bought from SOR 20 years ago, I'll be using it for my '71 FJ40 build.
That foam on their back degrades over time. I'd bet that thing isn't worth keeping.
Hot Off the Press! Just got this back from a local T-shirt guy during my lunch break, I think it turned out pretty good! It's a CCOT Bestop tire cover, but the design was a little tricky. I've seen this logo out on the internet, but it is usually the version that has been altered to say Specter OffRoad Genuine Parts. I've only seen the original logo one time here on MUD; the original says LandCruiser Toyota Genuine Parts. So armed with nothing but Google Translate and Word, I set-out to recreate this. It'll do for my ride

Removed the cheapo flimsy support brackets that I had previously installed as support for rear jumps seat bumpers. At the suggestion of Mark Algazy from Mark's Off Road, I installed much beefier 3" x 3" x 5/16" thick angle iron that should support most anyone who could possibly fit in that small space. Thank you Mark for calling me out on the crapy Home Depot brackets.Hot Off the Press! Just got this back from a local T-shirt guy during my lunch break, I think it turned out pretty good!

I didn't get a chance to introduce myself at the meet up a few times ago but I look forward to the next. Its clear that you are a man of talent and focused on the details. Cheers!
They are still running into sheet metal that is spot welded. Just saying.
Took it to a car show and won 2 awards.
Out with the old
Drove to work with the top off! Not too many of these mornings left before old man winter shows up in the PNW.
Eastwood two part epoxy is down. Great stuff.

Installed front lap/shoulder harness seat belts. It was a little tricky because our 1970 was not set up for that. The upper portion secured nicely to the roll bar. The bottom retractor mechanism mounted to one of the roll bar base plate bolts. (No seat belt bracket welded to our roll bar). Passenger side was more difficult because of the fuel tank and filler tube.
while i had the body upended for undercoating, i decided it would be an ideal time to paint under the dash. got a little heavy in spots but there is good coverage everywhere. painting in those tight corners/ crevices is a talent i've yet to develop - have no idea how they do it upside down
Wow! Glad you’re ok.
Hit a car show today. Had a good time. Fit right in with the Bel Airs
What did you have for a cage/bar? It looks like it did it’s job… although It’s done now.
MetalTech in your future?
Nothing wrong with Bel Airs, a 9/69 Bel Air SBC powered my 40 for 21 years. The ‘72 Fleetside 350 that replaced it is great, but it’ll never be quite the same as the 350 with flat-tops, 10.25:1, dual exhaust, and an RV cam.
