What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (40 Viewers)

[Hugh Heifer]

Pulled the tub on my 69 40 ( didn't have to cut a single bolt what does this mean?) and dreamed of grandeur thinking I will have this done in two months, anywyays had fun this weekend tooling on my rig getting it ready to be my daily by winter hopefully ( I think Shiner Bock should help me pick the paint)

I just opened this to your pic and the wife and I looked at it and both said, "We didn't just to that and why is the dash on?" Before we realized it was not a pic of our house. It all looks similar (even the garage door) but I do not think I took a pic form that angle.





I put a remflex on the trail rig. The MAF header is badly warped and I should have put a bead of weld around one of the ports on it but I think the Remflex will take care of the leak. It already sounded better.

After what seems like years of doing body work ( since November ) I painted the tub over the weekend. Painted the inside first and masked it off to do the outside. I still have to straighten the drivers door and paint it but other than that the body work is done. This weekend I will finish buffing and polishing the paint. I'll really be glad (so will a few employees) to get parts picked up off the floor and back where they belong -- on the Fj. I also mounted the windshield glass into the frame. The new Energy Suspension body mounts keep jumping out of the box and then I have to put them back in the box again. I guess they want to go for a ride.

For the record. I hate you.

Everyday I keep thinking how great it will be to have at least the body painted and mounted.

Well, I built plates and welded them to the roll cage to accept the propane tank brackets on the fender wells. I knocked out the Harlan CanOpner dents and resprayed the rear quarters, hacked up my dash to fit my ARB switches and now matching winch control switches, then resprayed. . Took time to blend in the radio compartment I had built in the past so it looks a little less ghetto. And, she had her first bath in a couple of years.

Then, I took her to the beach for the Olde North State Cruisers - Spring Tide Ride!!

I told myself no new skins till the engine swap was done. The engine is in so today the BFG 33X10.5’s went on the OEM wheels I blasted, painted, straightened and have been tripping over for the last 12 months.

I could not be happier – the exact look I wanted.

Compared to the bald 33X12.5 I had on before ( stacked in back in photo), the new 10.5”s with some tread are making me reconsider the necessity of a power steering swap – I can actually turn steering wheel with one hand!

 

[zags]

I am finally starting to put my '70 FJ40 restoration back togther.
I did the carb this week, picking up the block from the machine shop tomorrow!

 

[rizzle]

I got my floor shift conversion for my three speed, and my new water pump. I will proably start on it tomorrow, then maybe I will be brave enough to drive it farther.
