What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

It’s close to spring green.

Almost looks like spring and nebula had a baby!

Am waiting on those OEM parts ...we went to CVS

I just ordered some LED red bulbs to replace the 1034 regular bulb, or the brake lights. We shall see when they get here! Big expenses $11.00

Wrapped one up and tore one down.

Not enough to not have to google which is the return on a Corvette regulator 10 times an install.

I am NO expert but I have learned here and elsewhere it is “not the one you think!”

I usually do the opposite of my first thought- much like Costanza.

Had a little time to myself after work so I wrapped up the DS rocker/slider. Seems to blend in pretty well.

I know what am doing this 3 day weekend...

Just catching up on this thread but I also highly recommend the 211. I’ve used it on both voltages and it is a very impressive machine with a small footprint but somewhat hefty price tag.

I’ve found a couple on Craigslist over the years, folks going in whole hog and chickening out I guess.

I have a Miller Matic 135 110V. It is perfect for sheet metal, and light gauge brackets and such. It not going to do heavy gauge stuff. I have a Miller tig hotbox for that stuff.

Did they come with mounting brackets of did you have to make or source them seperately?

Did some sanding and touch up paint on some spots that were developing surface rust in the rear sill and quarters. I Installed the spare tire carrier. The PO did some metal work on the sill which threw off the latch/catch, so I had to adjust the carrier hinge bolts to make it fit. I dont like it, but it is what it is. 4plus tire carrier in my near future. I was also able to install the Toyota emblem, so I'm happy. Couldn't do the 4WD emblem since I'm missing the gasket and rear backing hardware. Does anyone know the part number or options for the small spacers behind the 4WD emblem? I know I can do washers, but was hoping to stay as close to original as possible.

Friday evening ASMR. Tune up and valve job. Sprang a coolant leak while I was watching! WTF? 800 miles on the new engine and no issues. Then, how about I pee red on your shoes?


BTW, these dudes playing in the shop. New to me, but a sound as old as the hills! Sons of Legion!

@occruiser this one is easy enough….the two studs thru the two holes and add the nuts.
As for the rubber gasket…they’re all over the place but you can cut your own temporarily if needed

Thank you sir. I’ll cut one out and finish her off.

Beautiful! OEM is the best and some Loc Tite on those nuts.

That rear latch is a PITA, 2 of the screws that cover the back of the latch broke! But we now have a new latch and gasket...I have touch up paint as well...
