Now that my doors & top are back on, I plugged the speed nuts for my body mount rear view mirrors to help keep the rain out.
Thanks, J- she wasn’t too happy coming apart.Watching with more than passing curiosity. Clean work on the disk/front hub.

Working through more small projects on my 77. When I first got this, I noticed that the batteries were old, at least the yellow top I could see had a date sticker on. Turns out that was actually a 2014 battery, and the Red Top was from 2003. Replaced them yesterday with two red tops.

Picked up better starting point than my last one! 75 from Vegas very clean for the year I think. Engine has not run in a couple years, lost spark and gave up on it. Garage kept missing jump seats. Looks to be de smogged. Will dig into in a week or two. Needs a fresh battery and terminals.
Waiting for the estimate or for insurance company to determine if it’s totaled. My nephew started fish tailing out of a curvy wet road and hit the side and turned over. Just glad him and the passenger are okay. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Around here we would still be driving it. Glad no one was hurt
Hoping I can still drive it and repair, it will probably be considered a salvage title though.
Yea, well who cares about cosmetics on a real working 4WD. Resale value is what is actually there IMHO not on some scrap of paper. Good luck.
Looks like left front frame (passenger front) got tweaked up. Insurance would probably total it because of the frame.
I would by it back and run it with a salvage title.
Frame could most likely be straightened or a good welder could graft another piece in.
How about a pic of that side, looking up and along the spring towards the rear.

I was not at the accident and now the insurance company has the vehicle. Waiting on the damage review. I tried to go check it out, but the tow company hired by the state took it and they wouldn’t let me take pictures. It was a shady place. I guess I’m glad the insurance company now has it at their storage place. It’s been over 20 some years since I’ve dealt with insurance company.
I would check with @Aloha Jen and any other Oahu denizens for local parts and resources. Good luck!
@3Speed40ForLife Looking good, I'm surprised you can still get a brand new gas tank.
BTW my Mom is one of your neighbors and I've been checking out your 40 from afar. I'm over there every so often so if you need and extra eye I charge very few beers per hour to observe and talk cruiser.
This was in 1985. It still ran, and when I got it back from the insurance company and sold it to my BIL, he was driving it in less than a month. To be honest, he was a crazy sumbitch. It left highway 87 on the Bolivar peninsula at speed and flipped end over end 3 times on the beach. We found imprints of it in the sand. The wrecker charged an exorbitant price because he said it was upside down. We found out he had a 40 and wanted this one for parts. The only way to destroy a Land Cruiser is to let it rust.

Added head rest covers on my faded headrest to match the new seats. Needs to warm up so I can work the wrinkles out of it all.
