What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

I still have the Outback red dust on my 80 series subtank, 12 years after I installed it.
That stuff doesn't come off very easy!

This 40 series owners manual is from a bull catcher fj40 on a cattle ranch in the Australian outback. It even has the red dust between some of the pages. View attachment 3012955

Love it. Was that OEM dealer option on 81? Please post link to what sound module you used.

Looking for rocks

Plenty of Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in your photo ...

Specifically the salt wash member I was guessing, based on the conglomerate:

Completed a rear disc brake conversion on our 1970. Installed new rear bearings, seals, brackets, rotors, calipers, booster, master and proportioning valve. Took her out for a test drive and the brakes seem vastly improved.

Exactly so. The exhumed paleochannels are unique to the Salt Wash.

The Salt Wash has a lot of petrified wood and dinosaur bones in it.

Where did you get your caliper brackets?

 

[Green Bean]

I sourced the brake parts through Redline Cruisers. (I painted the brackets and calipers with POR caliper paint.) The bearings and seals were sourced from Cruiser Outfitters. Miscellaneous brake hose & fittings from Summit.

So, let it be written, let it be done....Topless.

Drove 300kms worth of scenic coastal roads and had coffee.

That's sure a good looking mule you got yourself there.

 

[Chungas Revenge]

Thank you sir.

It’s a bit rough around the edges. But then again, so am I.

Come visit us soon! The Land Cruiser community specially the 40 series owners crowd is a very tightly knit group.

I would love to come visit again. The last time I was there would have been 1983-ish. Right before Pintatubo erupted.

Amazing Country and people.

The mini fridge launches an idea(s)...

Here in greater "Prestonia", I'm very limited on space in the garage. It's slightly smaller than the old garage (Storage Bld) and its somewhat incumbered by the necessity to store day to day household essentials. Rather that trek the 125 or so miles to the "Unit", I'm trying to utilize every inch of space I have available here. Yesterday, pre top removal, my good friend B-Ray and I went three dimensional. It's low buck (my favorite part) and low tech (my other favorite part) but it gets the doors up and out of the way. I have some closed cell foam I'll use as a damper later.

If that doesn‘t put a $*#t eating grin on your face, nothing will.

Replaced the unneeded choke cable with something a bit more fun yesterday.

I NEED this mod!
