What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[Last Flight Out]

Had a bit of fun this weekend and do enjoy wiring - when done right. Im trying to keep my JF40 as stock looking as possible, but the performance with upgraded lighting is a must for me. Love how the Auxbeam units are so easy to work with now...minimal wires and no longer running relays all over the place.,

Got some nice pictures of the fj40 this past weekend with a Rolleflex 3.5 75mm planar. this vehicle is the ultimate ride for where I live.

You in ”Low Country Boil” territory?

Looks good and clean. The relay box that you used did it come with the switch panel or did you source it separately, if so where?

Super easy - only one hot wire from your lights into box, grounded on chassis.

Tackled a bit of rust repair. One more go around and it should be good to go!

 

[Skreddy]

Adjusted the clutch then loaded it on the flatbed for a cross state trek to its new home.

Copied and built an age old transfer case saver.

Haven't spent much time with her last year but decided to take her around the block a few times.

Was reminded our first meeting, a test drive before buying her, noting that the brake booster is probably leaking vacuum pressure. And, 8 years later, I still haven't fixed that, and it's gotten pretty bad. So, a new booster from city racer and she was running, and stopping, like a champ!!!

Drunk on success, I decided to tackle the death wobbles, and tore all the tie rods off and am waiting for new ball joints...

I should've tried just washing it first.

Did you sell the fj40? or you are just moving?

Moving. Though if someone offers an obscene amount I’d gladly sell it, then turn around and build another….

 

[Green Bean]

Removed oil pressure regulator, cleaned, replaced O-ring and gasket. Replaced oil filter hoses with stainless in protective sheath. Oil and filter change. Driven Racing Oil GP-1 Synthetic Blend Motor Oil 15w-40 (12 Quart Bottles); Lucas Heavy duty oil stabilizer and Denso Engine Oil Filter - 150-2066 .

Can you expand on how your rig is holding 12 quarts of oil?

 

[Green Bean]

Purchased a case of oil as that is most economical. Oil change uses approximately 7.5 quarts of oil and 1 quart of Lucas.

Been a busy week…4plus rear passenger carrier from @lcwizard (4plus). Points and condenser took a dump so installed the pertronix 1662LS and it instantly fired up. Then, got our event T-shirts & stickers done for SAS7. Will be around 11 rigs from KC making the voyage to Ouray in August.
