I drove it for the first time ever! I bought her in 2013 in need of everything and here we are today. Still have many things on the list but now we can go places.
What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

Took it fishing
@samatulich I had to show this to my wife … we are east coast fishermen but she has never seen a halibut… you have 2 new fans !! 
We have the mini version in the Atlantic they call “fluke” and I do mean mini . A good catch is 10lbs

finally bit the bullet and got the real thing...time to ditch the PO's Weber.
I will have to take more pictures. This is one from before the master cylinders.
That was 60#, my first halibut caught since moving up here.@samatulich I had to show this to my wife … we are east coast fishermen but she has never seen a halibut… you have 2 new fans !!
Whoaaaa. That’s 10lbs in a 5lb bag…..of cool.

Nice fish! Fly rods on your truck. You take the fish on one of those?
No, I was flying earlier in the morning targeting pink salmon. The halibut was caught using bait.
Finally put on the soft top…The Jury is still out on whether or not I like it yet, but, it’s growing on me.

I like it!
Looks great
Thank you!!
I like everything about that rig
Thanks, they’re such a labor of love!,
I don’t know, I like yours with a hardtop more. I think the soft top would look far better on my rig…
Historically I’ve hated the soft tops I’ve had on my rig. The ‘Best’ Top I had on my rig flapped, leaked, and was a pain to take off and on. I found it easier to run a rigid ‘Bikini’ top in the summer and a Hardtop the other 8 months a year. I’ve had my eye on factory tops for a few years… maybe one day I’ll make my own. There’s no way I can justify the $$$ to buy one for a few weeks a year that I’m not running a hardtop or topless… at least not yet anyway.
You’ll have to give us a full rundown on how you like it once it’s worn and shrunk to fit.
I toyed with the bimini and bikini tops, but, ultimately settled on the old school top. I’ll give a run down at the end of summer. The only thing so far I don’t like is when I removed the hardtop my drivers side dirt came out of adjustment and that’s a huge pain in the ass to re-adjust.I don’t know, I like yours with a hardtop more.

I tried the bikini top for about ten minutes. Just didn’t care for it. The ”OST” just looks right. Well done.
