What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (20 Viewers)

[Casey E]

Seats look great. My seam failed the first week they where in my 40, SOR offered to fix if I completely removed and sent it back. Chose to just deal with a funky looking pleat.

Haven't posted on this thread in a while. Couple weeks ago I got my lower dash pads cleaned up (used SEM plastic prep and SEM adhesion promoter) and painted with SEM Landau Black

The OEM temp gauge (w/ new correct sending unit) was reading warm. Today I burped the radiator, then drove it, then reburped 4 times and it read the same. No problems running. I had an Autometer gauge installed previously and it always read cool. Pretty convinced the gauge is toast. But heck it looks and drives great!

Is that your fuse block where the ashtray was?

It really sucks when you get more mud on your truck after you washed it, than it had on it before you washed it!

Too much of the skinny pedal

 

[Elfman]

Finally finished the power steering upgrade/refurb. Picked up this 8274 Warn! Now to fab up bumper and mount.

Not intentionally. I didn't realize the tires were spinning until I looked around to see why I wasn't moving at the appropriate speed.

Threw the passenger seat in to take a peek...

Love the contrast in colors.

Yeah. I've got the cover which looks really nice when it's on using rare earth magnets. Whole system was rewired by a good buddy of mine. He's an electrical wizard. I've got courtesy led lights hidden under the dash, in the glove compartment and a Vader light for the dash is in the works too.

I feel your pain- October was a good month for finally getting off-road with mine. Then Halloween it starts snowing, which means they’re laying the magchloride down again. The mini van has a hole I need to patch before it shortens the life expectancy anymore. This is all reminder I need- even with my aluminum tub.
On the plus side, I’m daydreaming about mods for next springs rebirth...

Dang that sounds bad ass! I'll be happy when I can get my turn signals working, HA ! I'm convinced that to own an FJ40 it requires an electrical engineering degree or at minimum a mechanical engineering degree.

Jump seats complete!
Loving this coral material. First time doing a bench seat rig..

And I can't believe the remarkable condition of these frames. I did zero to them as far as repair or dents. Just blasted and powder coated...

And new OEM Turnbuckles too!

 

[Dizzy]

Removed the cowl grill and cleaned the leaves out with a shop vac.

Yeah, i picked the wrong profession - I'm a structural engineer and these electrical gremlins are KILLING me!

Got the rear on its own weight. 55’ springs with 6” shackle. Not sure how the shackle angle will be when the cage is added; may have to move the mounts still.

2.5" Pro Comp and Man A Fre 3 1/4" med duty anti inversion greasable shackles and pins. Ordering Bilsteins tonight. I wanted to measure the distance between the shock pins after instillation. Fronts meadured 17 1/2 and 17 3/4 . Both rears measured 18 1/2.
