What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (50 Viewers)

[shermantank55]

Sherman-Drove 30 miles and discovered my battery wasn't charging because the belt was loose and glazed. Replaced the belt, drove back and about 1/2 way figured out my replacement belt came loose too and wasn't charging. Good thing I have an optima yellow top. Tomorrow-work on the alternator set up.

Cadet-put on full soft doors for the winter. Started working on the hard top doors.

Tore down a donor t-case , needed a new housing after my last wheeling trip. Ordered a gasket/seal kit. Filled it up with gas($1.59 per gal.)YeeHah

I just went and looked at it.

 

[nuclearlemon]

got the repaired radiator back in...now i just gotta repair the starter or buy a new one.

 

[Caddisfly]

... put the gas tank back in, and then TRIED to get the cover to fit. I still have a 1/2" gap between the tab and the door sill.

The good news is that my restoration is almost complete. The bad news is that my 15-year-old son has more patience than I do, so he doesn't understand why I gave up on the gas tank cover "so easily." I don't have a heated garage, and the thermometer was showing 20 degrees F.

Went and looked at it sitting sad and lonely in the garage.
Pondered selling it again,since I don't have resources to
get it running the way I want it to.

But decided I need to keep it until I do. Besides in this economy
I'd lose my A$$ on it.

Warning: Extremely High Tech S**t!

I got tired of my lug wrench rattling around and taking up space, so I fired up the lathe, cutoff saw, tig, plasma cutter, slide rule, dial indicator, degree wheel...and came up with this: (NOTE: This mod should only be attempted by professional fabricators)

 

[Ziffdaddy]

Did a little front body panel paint/work...looks pretty good now..

72, 74 76, 79 fj40

Re-read my manuals for the MegaSquirt. Re-tuned for cold idle. Cranked it up. Wowzers! It started right up! Oh joy, oh joy!

Let it idle for about 5 mins. Wouldn't come up to temp. (scratches head) Did I remember to put a thermostate in?? Turn off engine... Oh no... oil pool and coolant underneath. Says to self "oh, dear, I must have made a mistake"!

I guess I'll come back to it another day. Gotta go shopping.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

Replaced leaking fuel pump, adjusted non OEM seats, and installed a new gear shift stick. Still need to replace the steering box and about 10,000 other things.

I love my 40, it ROCKS.

 

[rockcod]

I installed a new air freshener

 

[Cruisertime]

Put fuel in it, new wipers, cleaned fuel filter, and flushed coolant system.

 

[Fallon 40]

front recovery points

We put a couple front recovery points on the bumper.
Now to clamp the hi-lift to the top of the winch.

 

[allan man]

I installed EMU shocks a couple of weeks ago.....

 

[4x4 Station Wagon]

Drilled the mounting holes for a scout box along with tubing the frame for added support. IN THE SNOW!

 

[bigndn]

I made mine pull my m105a2 up from my pasture, filled said trailer with misc garbage, used '40 to pull it to the dump and back! I dug it.



OH, tires were at 5 psi.

Hi All:

"msapers," great idea!

But, have you considered these instead of the (one time use only)zip ties?

Regards,

Alan
