What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[Brian/99uzj100]

Gave my Dad a ride to pick up his Camry. Saw a nice Bandeirante in the showroom. Check out those banana shaped leaf spring shackles! I was in a hurry so no info on the motor, but it had a 5 speed trans. The tailgate hardware sure looks cheesy. It had signs on every corner stating,"Not for Sale, do not climb on, ask questions about, or look at too long"...Ha!

Cracked open one of the last Anchor Steams left in my stash. Thought about working on the 40 tonightView attachment 3856134

Those little aluminum cans tend to make me not want to do anything but keep opening them : )

 

[fj40fillet]

Installed grey procars, not much seat time yet.For the longest time one of the pair were on backorder, Jegs got 4 in stock finally.
Color is a smidge lighter than factory door cards.

They looks great. I just ordered a pair of gray ccot one as my interior on my '79 is gray as well. I also have a tuff console I have to install.

Made a trip to the upholstery shop...I may breakdown and just get a new headliner from Cruiser Corps....

One door done, one to go. I was a little skeptical of this 3M seam sealer tape. You stick it on, then the paint solvents kind of melt it in. It really nice but with all things 3M is more expensive then a tub of seal sealer caulk. One roll does two doors seams.

Looks great!

I have this other intake box I could modify but it would take a lot of work. I think it sits up too high for the hood to clear with the AFM on top. Plus I have already hacked on the other one and this one is in good condition. Does anyone recognize this box, where it is used?

Will you use a flex-coupling between the body-mounted air box and the engine?

 

[Engineer8000]

Yes, I have used these for several years. This works fine, just that adding the horn on the fender interferes with the intake.

i made mine tow a trailer!!! it blew me away how well it actually handled. went ice fishingView attachment 3858664View attachment 3858665View attachment 3858666

Nice lookin Walleye. Good eating.
I used to have a Skandic- sweet sleds. I pulled a Tacoma out of the ditch with mine in low range! Took a few beers but it worked.

Looks like it's mounted on the wrong side of the engine.

 

[mattressking]

You're looking at a Fj62 lower air box. I test fit one on my 40 in the same spot and it lined up the same way.

 

[osamenor]

First day warm enough in a while to do the first layer of Lizardskin sound barrier. For those who are wondering, 1 gallon is just enough to do one coat on the tub and both sides of the transmission cover. Next 1 gallon bucket is inbound.

That 3FE is trick Russ

 

[45Dougal]

Common misconception due to the phrase "fossil fuel"
Fossilized forests of billions of years of vegetative growth broke down underground into petroleum,
Storing billions of tons of carbon in a convenient super energy dense form.

We aren't burning dinosaurs but rather the broken down raw carbon from trees and other vegetation.
Think plant kingdom, not animal kingdom.

At this point, folks are willfully ignorant, the equivalent of sticking your head in the sand. The factual information is everywhere, yet folks still make ignorant statements as if we are to find their ignorance entertaining or cute in some way.
It's just garden variety ignorance, not cute, not funny, just dumb.

I think you'd better call the Smithsonian, because they seem to be of the ridiculous belief that:
"Fossil fuels are compound mixtures made of fossilized plant and animal remnants from millions of years ago"

Furthermore, National Geographic (I know right!?) thinks "petroleum was formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms, such as plants, algae, and bacteria".
They don't even mention forests! !!
Idiots.
Is this the fake news I've been hearing about...?

 

[45Dougal]

My '40 burns the remains of those dinosaurs!

Haha yea mine too

I run this diatribe though my mind every time I hear people refer to petroleum as dinosaurs. It’s one of many thoughts I keep to myself though. This is a gift from a former trainee that sits on my desk at the university within sight of my trainees and assistants:

Put the gas tank and passenger seat in for real this time.

Don’t be so Black and White, you can’t PROVE my gas isn’t “100% Dinosaur FREE”. I bet ive burned a LITTLE Dinosaur DNA!!

We land dwellers can be forgiven for imagining forests had primacy over marine plants either in antiquity or now. Oceans have always ruled!
