What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (29 Viewers)

[45Dougal]

Made up a toddler bed across the front seats, and got some curtain blinds stitched up and fitted.
All ready for a basic camp-out. No tent required this time.

Haven’t posted much in this section lately, been more tied up with the 62. Happy to report the 40 is still alive and well, had a great late afternoon cruiser earlier!

In this image, I can see the cables going back to the engine compartment instead of to the solenoids on the front of the 8274 winch. I am doing the same thing. Do you have a power disconnect somewhere? What are you using and where is it located?

Will do! Closer to Morehead/Atlantic Beach so down that way more but a 40 trip to Ocracoke is definitely on the bucket list!

Started rebuilding the Weber carburetor. The wife was not thrilled I decided to use the kitchen table as my work bench for this project.

You grabbed a towel from the bathroom to put down first. What's the big deal??!

She says “webers are for steaks”…







No offense intended for Weber carb users.

Thanks to @wngrog for documenting his voyages including the DEI insulation idea.

While I aspire to greatness when approaching a 40 project…………. I settle for “Meh, it looks some better!”

Ace rattle can paint job (dents left for ‘character’) and reattached loose weatherstripping…

 

[Trigger6]

the key does not seem deformed and just has a small mark at one end. Keyway looks fine
