What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[cruiserkev]

Driving around town today with the top off and kick vents open; 2 separate cars at 2 different stop lights decide to tell me I left my gas door open. They both look puzzled when I tell them it's a vent and the real gas door is on the passenger side. One even doesn't believe me so I stick my fingers through from the inside to prove it. Are people really this dense? Guess I should be happy neither said "nice jeep ".... small victories indeed.

No disrespect to city racer, but my LED headlights snowed over last winter. Just replaced them with a set of heated JW Speaker headlights.

Had to slight carve out some of the headlight dish.

Yeah I have read that is the down side of LEDs not putting out any head in colder climates to melt off.

Got some more photos back from the lab I use. I love this shot of the fj40! this photo was taken with my Rolleiflex 3.5f of the same vintage as the fj40. Film: fuji pro 160ns

I might sell this one as a print!

In preparation for SAS, I decided to look for any loose connectors or splices that a PO may have left for me under the dash. Found this cooked turn signal wire powered by a blown aftermarket 30A fuse. So that’s why the hazards don’t blink.

Trying to keep the cruiser parts buying on the DL and Summit sends me a large box for a tiny gauge! Thanks a lot… instantly busted.

How about not being submissive to the wife and just getting what you want to get?
I'm currently trying to figure out how to fix the disaster some idiot made to install an AC compressor.

LOL and I'm sitting here like how about have a happy marriage where you communicate and your wifey isn't blindsided by a bunch of boxes at the door! As a husband I'd be just as pissed if I came home and found the door blocked with a bunch of her hobby stuff that we hadn't discussed. As long as this wasn't a pattern, I'd get over it.

Any who I'm assuming this is mostly just ribbing each other on a forum haha

Good luck with your compressor woes.

LOL! If getting something you want, because you're working, without having to ask as if you're a child or fear the wrath of your wife, is being a "tough guy", then I guess there's a special kind of submissive normy?
Anyway, I'm still looking for a way to adapt the screwed up AC compressor and alternator crap-mod that some idiot did in my HJ's previous life.

When I get it sorted, I'll post pictures of what worked.
