What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

“ I get stopped all the time by older men in their 70-80's that tell me stories of when they, their dads or friends etc ... had one back in the 60-70's and the memories they had from trips in them “

Well, that’s me in a way… I’m in my 70’s and I bought my first in 1974. Fifty-two years later and there’s still one in the garage. Not the same one though.

By definition… I must be an older man?

Own it. You wear it well.

I'm right behind ya.... 65 now and had a 74 back in the early/mid 80's ... Now have a 73 I bought last year. I just tell people I had a mid life crisis at 65... Once you've had one.... You always want one...

If you're dealing with teens, old is late 30's early 40's. Used to be in a morning, masters swim group at the local high school. We were all early 40's. We'd all shower and get ready for work in the locker room. Once school started the kids would come in first thing, while we were still in there. One day I heard one of the kids say to a friend, "What's with the naked old guys in here?"

Good looking ride

Finished the floor and bolted in the seats. Then hitched up the new M101 after raising the lunette to the higher position.

Got some custom cables in from @Fourrunner and they’re perfect. I ended up using 3 grounds this time (spare engine mount bolt hole in the block, frame and fender). Got them swapped in and the truck fired up very quickly. I guess this is what 950cca is supposed to be like.

These lead terminal connections are so much nicer than what was there.


Old and busted vs new hotness. You can see why I wasn’t getting enough juice to the starter.

I plan to use similar connectors once I have a battery mounted. The head lights I bought need separate wires for the DRLs and the Toyota wiring harness also have wires that connect directly to the battery.

FYI....This thing is so much fun to drive.....!!! And people love it. I get stopped all the time by older men in their 70-80's that tell me stories of when they, their dads or friends etc ... had one back in the 60-70's and the memories they had from trips in them. You can see it all coming back in their facial expressions and eyes as they take a good look at it.

Your 40 has been inspiration for my restoration. Gotta be one of the best looking trucks on MUD
