I understand these spools will hold 150’ of synthetic. ! Sourcing that length might be a challenge, but worth it.
What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

125' of 3/8 synthetic is what I am running. Fits the spool perfectly. The 3/8 is reccomended for the synthetic. Normally they come spooled with 150' of 5/16 if I remember correctly.

From whom did you purchase the 125’ length?
So I have been considering selling my 40. There are a bunch of major updates that I want to do to it, and I feel it would be much better to sell and start again.
Anyone have any thoughts / recommendations? Would love to hear what you guys think.

Tactical Recovery Equipment. They were great to work with.

You’re crazy. But, i totally understand. The project and building aspect is a big part of the fun for me. Why not just keep enjoying the fruits of your labor for a while? That thing is killer and you never get back out of them what you have into them, unless your one of those cult following BAT builders. I vote drive and enjoy and start collecting parts for the next one.
What are the big ticket items you want to do differently that makes you want to start fresh?
I would hope that I can get parts value out of it, considering the literally brand new condition and build.
I'd like to strech it about 13" so it behaves better on big climbs, finish linking the rear, and I really want to stick a new drivetrain in it.
Plus I want to redo the cage, fuel tank, rear seating, and and basically the whole thing since I know I can do it better. But such is life.
What is the purpose of the function in these knobs where you twist it clockwise and it prevents you pulling the knob out, while at the same time the running lights all turn on solid? I discovered it accidentally and thought I had a bad ground on the light circuit. Do all the years do this, or just the later ones? Mine’s an ‘84

Marv Spector told me where to look on the Original Micro fiche for the TECH.. 411
as i understand the feature engaged twist how it works :
u twist mode ON , the ENEMY on the battlefield can't se you sneaking up to Kill them ..
ONLY the Land Cruiser Drivng behind you in the Military Vehicles CONLY could see your rear tail lamps this way the comvoy would not Raar end impact the lamd cruiser
in front of him or her
that's all i know
you either have EX- Saudi spec region REGEEME era 1970's 1980's former army land cruiser ?
or

I look forward to seeing what you build next.
How cool. Thanks for the info. Probably a milspec civilian transport if this is the case then, considering the unlikely island this vehicle came from.holy COW !

Some pitting on the bottom of the tank. Couldn’t justify filling it although after painting, I’m second guessing myself as it really shows up now. Hopefully, I’ll get the top done this week
Can’t imagine I thought of this myself but then again, I can’t remember seeing it before either 
the only way I could come up with to keep them distracted…. The shafts weren’t nice enough just to clean

Get an 80 series.
Currently in the works with my dad's new build. May have something to do with an 80 series frame, 2.8 Duramax, and some 45 series parts...

I bought a 1970. No plans to restore this one, get reliable and enjoy, with some minor modifications.
