As you are looking at that photo, I angled the left side vents towards me and the right side towards the wife.

The earlier axle shafts have replace-able races.Finally built up some motivation to tackle the disc brake conversion on the rear.
Drained the chocolate milk...so much for the PO saying the rear was serviced when I bought it.

Confirmed he did have a Lock Right installed and everything in good order.

Cursed a bunch trying to figure out how to remove the c-clips and remove the guts of the locker.

Got all of the old drum brake backing plates off to find the passenger side bearings were completely seized from what looks like rust.

Which then led me to worry about the condition of the bearing surface on the axle. Short side is in horrid condition.Not sure how to tackle at this point. Any advice would be appreciated.

That AC looks sweet. How does it work. same Q as others
As many photos of your rig that I have looked at I have not noticed the AC. Who's unit is that. Vintage Air?
OK so nothing on drivers side. Wish there was a way to have one there

If you are talking about the AC in my 40, it is an old CCOT (Cool Cruisers of Texas) unit. It was installed when I bought the Land Cruiser. If I were to install one today, I'd probably go with the Old Air Product IP-200 unit. It has a similar look as the CCOT, but the controls are on the face of the AC unit. This would eliminate the need to drill two holes in the dash for the two AC control knobs, like the CCOT's does.

They ship LTL on them. (Not cheap either)
Painted the backs and bottoms of the front bib, both fenders and the fiberglass hood.

Yes I did notice that!
Says allot about the quality of that battery. Funny thing is, I spent a lot of time pushing it off the trailer and into my driveway the night before. If I only knew... lol

Where did you get the insulation? Looks great!
I ordered insulation from McMaster-car. @ginmtb "rear heater line restoration." It comes in six foot lengths. I ordered 2 for $20. The trick is getting it on the tubes. I used 10lbs constant air pressure on one side of the insulation and taped up the end of the heater line so the air would expand the foam a bit as I was gradually working it down the tube.
