Ok, after the first picture I just suspected this but now I’m convinced…………. You’re posting this to rub it in that YOU have a much better drive to work than the rest of us!
What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

Getting ready for the weekend!
Removed mini truck box and installed OEM. Its a tight fit.
This was a 79-80 one piece steering column shaft. It was about 1/8" too long. The bearing wouldn't sit flush with the ignition key assembly. I'll add a spacer piece where the round column bolts to the firewall bracket.

Was going to install my new clam shell but found it is for RHD. Bummer.

Not a very productive day but I got a few small items crossed off the never-ending list. Re-did the front seat belt receivers and replaced long bypass hose between T.case and transmission with the short version which I should have ordered the first time. (Let me know if anyone need a long bypass hose).
Wired up the redarc SBI battery isolator in their "super winch mode." I have a warn 8274 so I like the idea. The winch is wired to the crank battery so when I use the winch, I get crank battery, alternator and a hot wire off the A(?) Terminal on the winch trips the isolator so I get the accessory battery as well...only on pull, not release. I also mounted a momentary switch under the dash for dead crank battery. This opens the SBI and I get accessory battery help with crank.
Added some OEM Wheels and finished most of the wiring for Holley Sniper EFI.
Big day today. The first time in almost 4 years that one of my 40's hasn't been in pieces. So I've dropped off the olive one for some small snags and brought the beige one home with me.
Olive one was a nut and bolt restore of a wreck. Beige one was quite nice already when I bought it but I rolled it in the mountains.

Life is pretty good when you can take your Land Cruiser out to grab a cup of coffee with your daughter on a beautiful Saturday. (making it back home without a rescue tow was an added bonus).
Same stuff as usual.
Installed my locking steering after searching about 4 hours for the keys for it. Also installed my driver door and rear hatch locks. First time I've been able to lock it up in 13 yrs, but it takes 4 keys to do it. There must be a trick to that door lock install, good thing I had the telescope magnet to pick up the retaining clip from the bottom of the door a few times.
A bit of backyard engineering and got myself dual small tables.
Oh and a bottle opener to match.

Cleaned it up to sell it......https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/athol-1964-fj40-built/7383042186.html
It looks like your body mounts are sagging. Cant say for sure, but the box would fit better if the fie wall mounts were some taller.
