Funny, I just did the same thing on my side panels. They were a lot of work. I have to paint my roll bar in the truck bf I install them.
What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

I think my 1979 fj40 rear brake conversion kit came from coolcruisers if I'm remembering right. They take toyota pads tool which I liked.
For sure I’ve thought of that. I was thinking the same thing. I’d have to remove the “roll” bar though and I’d likely lose headroom unless I hinged the floor to fold back in the front third of the tent bottom.

Working on the rear suspension.
Happy 40, happy life. So they say
I’ve heard that saying before.
And happy wife.
When the 40's not happy you have to spend more time with it, and the wife will get jealous...
Whatever. They don't stay happy for long.
Landcruiser gots a FSM, not so much womens
That Gamiviti looks to me like the most practical 40 rack out there. The Conn-Fer and it's descendants might be more classic and period correct, but honestly the Gamiviti seems more day-to-day useful and I like the minimalist styling. If it will fit under the garage door of my new house, I might have to buy one.
Lots of build options with this rack as well. The Owner wants an attachment point for a hardtop lift, this will fit the bill nicely.
There is one, but in a language we cannot read
my parking brake dosent work for sh*&. Even though its adjusted correctly. Its like the pads are frictionless.
Thats what I was hoping for and boutght the dual seal kit but, it was bone dry in there
Is there an ID measurement on the hub? Like someone somewhere drove out to Vegas with the parking brake on and eventually replaced the shoes with zero benefit?
Doesn’t seem bad. In ‘05 I was quoted $700 for a basic exhaust on a ‘71 GT6… no stainless steel. I ended up doing it myself… one 90* bend, 6’ of pipe, a 20* bend, a muffler, a turned down end, and a couple exhaust hangers with clamps.
Procrastination: 12 years……. Not gonna win a ‘body-work’ MVP with it but I’m not as worried bout my feet punching through the floor now! After I got some paint on this, I realized more filler and sanding might be in order but I’m thinking….. Procrastination: another 12 years!

Scrap stainless counter. This post was lost in cyber space and then showed up after saving my redo.

Your floor didn’t look so bad.
My “new” floor waiting to be installed…
My rear tub I built in ‘92 is 1/8” steel. This stainless is a good 1/16” and will have 1/2” plate steel connecting the roll bar to where the body mounts to the frame. Not stock, but neither is my 40.
