What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

I really like the battery terminal corrosion protection spray I got from NAPA years back.
This is what they sell now https://www.autozone.com/miscellane...tector-spray/p/crc-battery-terminal-protector. I would clean both surfaces again and then spray them, let dry, assemble and then spray again.

Put in a fusible link I ordered from @Coolerman

Also was able to replace the original socket as the old one was broken. Easy to swap out…I did have to drill new holes on the socket to align with the firewall holes. Additional details/measurements in my thread.

Washed it.

This is truly a horrible job. I am starting to reflect on my choice of sand blasting this myself.
With that said, I recalled an episode @BenjaminCA where he used a drill and a long round stock to make a channel sweep. I got some nylon round brushes from Amazon and welded it on an 6’ length of round stock and went to town on the inner frame. Worked well on the areas where there wasn’t any DIY frame coating from PO. I got a long screw driver and removed the chunky stuff.
For the sand blaster, I’ve done all the mods and I am using coal slag or black sand from Menards. The blaster is temperamental, but it works.

I did the same thing and it took off and on several weeks. Air compressor couldn't keep up, sand blaster was leaking, sweating my a$$ off (Las Vegas in the summer). Definitely would have been nice to pay someone to do it, but was nice once it was done.

Out with the old… in with the new…

I am definitely partial to the darker color.
Looks great.

Wife and I went to Mission Impossible...no spoilers, but there's a scene with two vintage Land Cruisers...and the bad guys drive Jeeps.

They always do

Roof fiberglass, paint, drip rail rust repair & headliner is next!

Bought the seats recently from @clrussell

I wanted to repaint the backs. When I took them off I realized it still had the surround leather on it. Not really an easy way to clean it and reattach so I bought some edge trim..luckily I bought the exact correct fit. Goes on easily, bends around the corners and is pushed in firm so it will never come off by itself. New rear covers and headliner on order.

I painted the backs the same color as my wheels and rear seat frames. Front seat frames will get painted as well. Rustoleum Farm and Implememt Massey Ferguson Grey

I like the trim on the seat backs.

It is a bit time consuming! Take your time on one section at a time. Grainger has the solid dome top rivets. Waiting for my inside roof covering and about to paint the top.

My scout p/s steering box started leaking out the steering shaft input seal. I figured it was time rebuild/reseal it. So far, no more leaking.

Starting this project led to me buying a soft top. Project is still in the mid phase.

The PO filled the roof gutter channel with silicone. Can only guess how many tubes he used. Was thinking of taking the time to get it all scraped out and filled in with epoxy. After reading a few of the roof renovation projects, I've decided the silicone is working just fine.
