What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[John McVicker]

Thanks @Pura Vida , I drive my 60 a bunch more than my 40…and the 40 sits outside under a Maple Tree.

Got an unexpected lead on good wood area and just fired her up & took off w/o cleaning her up.

Finally took apart my ambulance door lock assembly to tighten up the loose handle. As is tradition I immediately lost the tiny spring and spent most of the time looking for itView attachment 2799644

I had a similar event while installing my OEM power steering. Somehow I hit the ignition switch and the white cover kind of half popped off. While attempting to see if I could put it back together, I saw a little steel ball go flying out in the corner of my eye. I looked around for it but of course it was gone. A little later I noticed this:

It was caught in the rolled up hem of my shirt sleeve.

Once you get that broken bolt out. Replace with carb studs and nuts & never have to deal with it again.

Decided it was take your kid fishing day. This one didn't mind skipping school at all.

Well, that is just genius. I ordered everything new and will buy those instead of the top bolts. Why did you buy four?

 

[Gun Runner 5]

The previous owner never used or maintained the factory a/c. Now that it resides in Southern Georgia the a/c will be a high priority.

It also had a fairly worn, oddball spare tire. That had to go.

 

[Bripars40]

Shoved a 2uz V8 inside

I bought four to use on the carb but the broken bolt in the lower thermostat housing happened. That reminds me, I need to order two more bolts for when I next remove the carb.

I finally got around to installing my cowl vent drain tubes from city racer and fixing a broken switch for my front locker. Now if I can get my oil pressure Guage working I can remove the mechanical one installed where my radio goes. I may just remove the mechanical one anyway. Who needs an oil pressure Guage on a 40. Really all you need is a gas gauge.

Got a decent load of firewood from the Eastern Sierra…Lodgepole pine. Going back up tomorrow for one more load.

I need to go thin some forest soon as well, although I won't be taking my 40 to do that, the ol' diesel dually gets the workout.

 

[John McVicker]

Ok, went back up this morning & got another load…BUT…this time with Mrs. LandCruiser.. She’s ‘resting‘ now.

 

[steffan]

Threw down some more liner. put about 1.5 quarts on it

 

[Chuckha62]

Very nice. Who painted her?

The PO had it done sometime prior to 2010. He lost steam on her right after paint and shoved her in a shipping container never to see the light of day... I had a local body shop paint the roof and I'm engaging them to fix some issues on the rest of her.

Woodstove 24 / 7?

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Woodstove 24 / 7?

Yeah, all winter. I try my hardest to not run the furnace.

I might run it once or twice a year to knock the chill off in the morning, after that it gets turned off.

Wood is basically free.

 

[YODA 88 62]

Installed a “hidden”, S2 flush mount backup light from Baja Designs…Work light pattern. Very bright. Spare wheel blocks the immediate width of the pattern but the stock lights make up for it.

Used a 2.5” hole saw and a 3/16” drill bit.
