What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (43 Viewers)

[Green Bean]

Thanks to @hyhpe I replaced the aftermarket front bumper brackets with a set of NLA OEM ones.

Side-by-side comparison; OEM on the left, aftermarket on the right.

Also, tried out this engine stethoscope. I was skeptical, but it actually works pretty good.

I picked up my '74 from @Mudrak who did a great job transforming it into a reliable capable cruiser. I had already installed a header, power steering and disc brakes, and now the upgrade from a weber carb to efi is worth every penny. It now rides 2" higher than before thanks to the new suspension. I'm looking forward to taking it off road.

what broke?

I made it half way home then on a downshift it just wouldn't go just a loud grinding noise. and then it won't go in any gear.

Decided to redo my exhaust, had a leaking muffler and really didn’t like how the old set up was. Broke out the flux core welder and got to town. A muffler shop could’ve done much better but at least it’s done and it’s not like I wanted it sitting outside up here in the north east. I did find a nice sounding muffler that fits the OEM bracket and is 2.25 inlet/outlet.

Did a little paint on the seat back panels.
On the 40 series.
I think it came out pretty good.
Better than what it was.

Beautiful job. Congrats!

Are the back panels available anywhere as an aftermarket item?

Thank you
No these are the original ones that came off the cruiser. I don’t think there are any aftermarket panels for these. Try the classifieds or ClassicCruisers in CO.

Upgraded the interior door handles and installed 3d printed grommets on the handle to reduce "Play" on the outer handle.

Thank you. -jimmy
