I love this. Mine doesn't have the twisted parts, but I have liked my steering wheel wrapped like this pretty much since I've owned it.

Looks great!! That's how I did my boat steering wheel. I tried the spiral for a little extra grip and it definitely worked out.

Among other things, I've finally found the right coolant hoses and clamps. 6th time is a charm, right?

Nothing like rebuilding an FJ40 in your living room.

@Desertsled, your garage may be too nice. Not sure I'd want to go back inside.

Replaced my original 76 radiator with a very pretty aluminum 3 row today. Blew a big hole in the OG radiator a few weeks ago and it is time to retire it. New one weighs half as much. It's almost too shiny for my grubby engine compartment. Now to figure out my ignition issue and get back on the road.

Dug it out just to take the wife for an anniversary dinner.

Thats what I was thinking! I have seen some fleebay specials for 4 for 550$ with hub caps too. city racer has 16 inch painted ones for 1400 maybe thats it? But I think that is actually 5 wheels and its already painted in oem gray.

Yeah, that's it. And people buy them. I don't know. This one is $60. Solid ones are $90. If someone out there can stamp out steel wheels and sell them for 60 bucks, then it is a $60 wheel. You can call it the Land Cruiser Premium, the money is no object syndrome, or the sign of the times. But, no matter what you call it, it is still an overpriced $60 wheel.

$600 for a whole set. Hmm. I am in a unique area where those $100 custom cut windshields everyone here talks about are $500.

I was thinking of getting the 70 series 16 inch wheels. If you get lucky, some dealers have them on sale for less than $150

Did the same this spring and what a difference in cooling capacity, very pleased after 80+ days well north of 100 this summer.

Hi was just wondering how this thread is not a sticky?

Because it's always on top of the threads due to use anyway

Got my windshield all in one piece Thanks Cruiser Corps and Fed Ex . Having trouble with the top corners so taking a brake heading up north till Monday and then try again just waiting on my coil with ballast resistor from Toyota Matt and a fuseable link from Coolerman so I can fire it up finally

You’re in Pennsville? At the bottom of the bridge? Been through that town many times on my road trips to Cape May.

Yup. I actually work for the bridge in Maintenance. I was at our Cape May Ferry site today.

When my son graduated from high school he got a job at the Cape May ferry terminal working for the DRBA. Small world!

I did as well... although I etched then painted mine black (just personal preference). I had previously installed a 4 row after mkt brass radiator that would overheat many times when outside temps were above 90deg. With the aluminum, temps usually run below 200deg, although it sometimes still creeps up near 210 on really hot days with the a/c cranked (the a/c evaporator pre-heats the air entering the radiator so it loses efficiency)

Cute bezel.

I haven't done any macrame since I was 8. But I got some paracord and made some door pulls. I ordered red and received something between red and orange.

I like this idea for grab handles roof grab handles

It is always curious to find what is still available from Toyota. Replaced the M10 hardware on the steering linkage clamps.

Nice! - I got some aftermarket steering rods (Joint Fuji) from cruiser outfit and they came with 13mm clamps. The only thing 13mm on my rig - (that I know of) and looks like will have a short lifespan.
