What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[letterman52]

Shipment from Dave at @4plusproducts came in. Great things to come. #fj40 #fj40oldschool

 

[Gun Runner 5]

A North Florida canopy road and a 40 Series.

 

[Jordan85]

Spare finally came in and mounted!

 

[bikersmurf]

1) got the Scout II P/S box hooked up to a pump and working. I’ve got a lot more to do before the conversion is finished, but I can now turn the wheel with the palm of my hand. It should be even better once the noisy pump is replaced with a new one.

2) TJ seat to replace my beat up old bench seat.

Don’t have these brackets yet… may fab some.

I prefer the 2003 fold and tumble seat over YJ and other seats with a big cutout in the back.

Completed the install of mini cooper seats in the 67 FJ40. For the install, I kept the seat frames and bolted metal plate on top of the frame. Then bolted seats to the metal plate (0.25" Carbon Steel Plate). Did invest in a drill press to make the holes , Didn't use rails as I wanted to keep the seats as low as possible. Special thanks to 40LandCruising for providing me the info on the seats. Passenger seat does sit a little higher, but not too bad. Seats are very comfortable.

What a coincidence, at the end of last week I picked up hardware to fabricate a similar tensioner for my P/S pump. I’m missing the anchor point for the tensioner, so I’m adding an adjuster also at the same time. It’s in a hard to reach spot beneath the air compressor pump so adjusting it would otherwise be a major PITA.

I lost count at 36+ vehicles which have contributed parts to my rig. And the list keeps getting longer. After the power steering is finished, new Ford shock towers are installed, front diff swapped to 3.70, front axle rebuilt, rear brake pads & discs replaced, and ‘03 TJ fold & tumble seat is installed.

I’ve got a MAF ‘87 350 TPI to install. It came with the ECU, painless harness, speed sensor, etc. I’ve since accumulated almost two more setups of spare parts.

Only about 8 of them weren’t Toyota 40/45 Landcruiser

Cleaning switches and freeing up a turn signal.

So this happened…came out perfect

 

[Rgill]

Just ordered fuel injection for my 85 FJ60. I will post once I get it installed.

 

[jeffallen1]

I traced the one wire that was disconnected at the ignition and managed to get the 43 started.
Pulled the rear wheels off and got off all the brake calipers. Replacement inbound.

Got ahold of an original window crank mechanism from a very early rig.

So I transferred it into cad and will be working towards re-creating it. It’s mostly made of stamped steel, but I’m thinking of replicating some components via machining.
Been so busy with the Bluetooth project I needed to get this done as I have a limited timeframe before sending it back.

Went out for a fall foliage photo shoot!

Looks like I have a few more days of paint weather - trying to get as much done as possible. Roll bar was the last part of the tub to be painted. Now, get it mounted and free up some floor space

That’s a very nice rollcage Is that your design or a kit? Did you do the welding. Very nice job. I’m debating using a full cage as opposed to the factory roll bar in my 79 40.

The number of stories that I've heard here, "it was in this old guys barn for the last 20 years, added some clean fuel, a battery and drove it home!" Meanwhile, my resto mod 40s been in my garage the last 4 years, carefully replacing everything and I still can't drive it...go figure.

I'm close to driving my landcruiser, just working on tuning the sniper. Learned a lot more through several hours of YouTube videos on AFR and coolant enrichment. Hopefully I can start filling in my learn table tomorrow.

Went for one part and took all the gentleman had.
