What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[4thHorseman]

With the dubious wiring/electrical and the condition of the engine... I have decided to go for the 'to-the-frame' rebuild.

I am not a grease monkey and I have to say it's going to scare the hell out of me.

I tried to get the clutch and the breaks to function. Dubious results on the breaks, the clutch was just dead. Due to the difficulty getting to get to the clutch to bleed the line cemented my to-the-frame resolve.

The engine is siezed and I can't get it into neutral...

That is what I did today...

You can do it! Just remember to have fun and enjoy the build amongst the frustration.

You washed the rust off? Where do I get that soap lol!

I like your merc in the garage. Pics?

The stuff works. Now I need to find a good wax/polish to put over the top.


You know... its funny. I've owned my 230sl for 13 years now, and I still don't have a single picture of it.

I know CLR I never thought of washing my cruiser with it though, Good idea!

I wait patiently for pictures of the sl

You may be able to shift the transfercase into neutral.

Found what blew my fuse repeatedly, darn hot wires touching my tranny, fixed that and all that were going to follow. Not sure what to do this weekend though before I head back to University......

Really would like to off-road some this weekend, but need a buddy that's in the Los Angeles Area. PM me and we'll see what we can do.

 

[Drag Racer]

Rebuilt the knuckles, installed the aussie front locker and new clutch master/slave. Ready to cruise!

Real epoxy primers don't come in spray cans. They're 2k (2 komponent) coatings that need to catalyze.

I thought I saw them somewher in a rattle can and you hit a button on the can or something and it mixes together . Then you only have so long to use it. Maybe I was seeing things or I dreamed about it

 

[Roboosfj40s]

Finally welded up some PO holes in the tub with my mig. Rebuilt the bucket seat supports.

 

[mumphra]

ahh what a day I took out both of my 3rd members to get ready for locker installation soon here are some pics







I also installed my hi lift jack on my rig

 

[Assassin]

took the cruiser out in the 82 deg heat today----such a nice day to be out...filled up the tank $3.85 per gallon, and took a drive down to the creek, and rode over to my hunting lease----fun day in the rig!!! made a about a 80 mile loop

I found it online. Maybe not as good as the real thing, but certainly handy.

I washed the passenger side.

let me know if you decide to sell the Benz

 

[Delfantano]

Pulled it out of the garage. Then pulled it back in. Drove the kids around the block. Pulled the rack off for a little TLC.

 

[Droopz]

Top off for this dry spell. Probably won't bother putting it back on. I'll just get a bikini top made up I think.

That is good looking! That may be one of my favorite models.

Installed carpet kit (Cruiser Solutions) repainted gas tank, Seat/Amp Rack, rear seat for the kids and Sat Radio (for me) ...

I'd send you a PM, but you don't allow them. I like what you did with the seat frame using the flat stock pieces. I have the same one. What's the width and thickness of the metal you used? Are you happy with what you did? I could see not using thick enough metal and getting a bounce from them. TIA.

CJR Video Montage : Must Watch!

Shamelessly raced it against bigger, badder faster cars driven by crazier, bolder and more experienced drivers and managed to finish the right side up :
