What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

^^^ What vents are on your hood (brand, metal or plastic and purchased from where)? Thanks!

-Daniel Kent

I bought them from Ebay from a local Hot Rod guy who makes them. Here is the link.

They are made from aluminum, great quality. I would definitely recommend them for the $69.00 price tag.

All I did was paint them black.

Machete

 

[65swb45]

pulled the bumper and gussets off the karma cruiser, straightened out the mangled driver's side gusset [this truck had a rough life before Tony got it] sanded, wire-brushed and painted all the rusty parts, and installed my new brushguard. Bling!

Machete

Going to a good home Dave. The family has wanted one for years. They are going to use it as a weekend lake/recreation vehicle. Then give it to their son when he turns 16.

The Vendor name for the stock seat rebuild in Escondido, California is

Old Town Upholstery
www.oldtown760.com
1-760-500-7903

Speak to Erik Morales, the older son. Nice people. Father and his two sons, small shop, and I think they are honest. Dad did upholstery in Mexico City for 25 years and is teaching his sons how to do the business here in the states. They work fast and produce quality work. They have my jump seats now for a full rebuild to match the front seats for $110 each. They did my stock front seats for $160 each, including new foam, new vinyl and cloth covers and dyed the headrests to match. Yesterday they pulled my door panels and put a foam insulation layer/water barrier in for so little that it was embarassing and I left them with a tip to buy them lunch.

If you're rebuilding the door panels, I'd recommend replacing the stock "hardboard" with 1/8" door skins. Doorskins are relatively cheap, and don't warp.

Their prices sound very reasonable, the materials would likely cost me close to that.

Hopelessly stuck in a low tide in the Sea of Cortez,Mexico. Miles away from the high tide line & water coming back up as it's getting late. Luckily, a local in a dilapidated Hilux showed up & pulled me out. Paid him my last 100 bucks!

What year was that Hilux you think?

That Hilux would be in the year range of 1979-1983.

Nice looking. Like the extended front springs. Or is that just a missing front bumper ?
