What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (59 Viewers)

[78fj40mg]

Dropped my Aux Tank (gas fumes from sender hole). Patched the sender hole with 16ga sheet metal and PC-7 Epoxy. Extended the oem sender float arm, using two roll pins and an appropriate length of wire coat hanger. Cut a new sender hole on top of the tank and re-installed the sender. Re-mounted the tank and connected all the hoses and wires back up.

Adjusted the clutch to engage about an inch lower on the pedal (with the help of several MUDbrothers).

Removed the passenger seat back, laid my sleeping platform back in, added my 5" mattress and bedding. Put Gunner's bed back in, next to mine. Stocked up food, water, dog food, dog treats, Gunner's boots and NYPD DVDs (for my 7" Sony DVD Player). Got my maps organized and gassed up both tanks. I always take my tent, cot, etc. - we tent camp when its gonna be more than one night.

Leaving early tomorrow for a few days along Alamo Road, in the Desert National Wildlife Area - the road is closed at the dry lake... so, 44 miles up and 44 miles back... should be great fun!! May try to hike Hidden Forest again. Last year, I was having a lot of back problems and had to turn back after 3 miles - the hike is 11.4 miles round trip and a climb to almost 8k'. I forgot Gunner's boots last year and his feet were extremely sore the next day. I won't forget again!! I hope to get some good pictures...

You should go down to the river and load the cooler with fish, but I guess your way works too

Great rig!! Great pics!!

I drove a white knuckled 450 miles partly through ice covered forest roads to get around the 100 miles of closed I-84 to get these disk axles home.

I'm just glad I wasn't this guy:

Got my fuse block changed out for 3FE swap and installed some NS-22095 headlights that I got from Cruiser Corps.

Been working pretty steadily on my passenger rear quarter panel. Drilled out cleaned up the plate for the spare tire carrier. Welded up some holes then spotted it back in after some weld through primer. Getting there.

Nice work!

Where did you source the new fuse box?

It came with the harness from the FJ62 donor.
