You do really clean, nice work!!

Are you building the whole tub, or what?

 

[Solace in Solitude]

Made up a front winch bar.
Finished my rear tyre rack also. Just need to add some tubing to the front then off to the powder coaters.
Also one of the pup on a recent trip.

Looks like you're driving one of our Nevada roads... Interesting how similar the landscape can be, that far away!

Is that a Roo pup? Very cute! I love those ears!!

I had the external tool box powder coated black and remounted between front frames and behind bumper. Picture of black is too hard to see so can't attach image. It did turn out nice.

Gotta love Toyota remanufactured parts. Installed new voltage regulator, which does away with the external condensor:

And the gear reduction starter. The truck now starts with ferocity!

Thanks - I wish I had more time, I'd probably do the whole tub... Did the rockers, some of the front floor, rear sill.. The usual patches here and there. A slippery slope indeed

Thanks to @Racer65 for selling me his last two LED headlight!

Installed the LEDs as soon as I received them today here are some pics:

Left is the original yellow OEM light bulb, right is the new LED which is much brighter!

Both LED headlights installed ~ what a difference in illumination!

That road is one of the highest tracks in Australia and only about 1900m
She is an Australian Kelpie, but yes sitting upright does look pretty similar!

Sggoat Gary came over from Alva today with his 40 full of fine stuff! from garden grown goodies to weird toggle switches..Anyway first up was glass removal from my original hardtop which I foolishly left in my SoFlo yard to use as a lawn mower shelter while I ran Bikini top the last 5 years. Needless to say SoFlo humidity and the yard sprinkler system melted the metal parts into rust and for some reason I didn't notice till the damage was done. We removed the glass which was fine. I shall give a good burial in my yard to my metal hardtop parts which served me well for many years. Then we started the SOR upholstery rehab and Gary had the tools to get that started. got the most important part done, driver butt seat,with a bit of trial and error, Daaang! does it look good! SOR upholstery kits seem to be very heavy duty and includes upgrade parts as well as some thick material and great foam. Gary has the knowledge and creativity to tackle the jobs I spend days trying to figure out how to do. Big Tip Of the Hat to Gary! A fine Land Cruiser Buddy.

New shoes on the 79. The new BFG KO2. I really like them a lot. Rides great on the road.

The old shoes went on the 71 BFG mud terrains. Wire wheeled and painted the wheels while I was at it.
New brake hoses going on tomorrow courtesy of @Racer65

 

[Captn Conch]

What size did you go with on the KO2's?

 

[upperblack]

What size did you go with on the KO2's?

31x10.5x15
My set up is pretty much stock

 

[Captn Conch]

Probably going to be my next tire and size, tired of trying to figure out a way to make 33x10.50 fit. refuse to lift. Hate to sacrifice the additional clearance. But maybe with the dual shocks up front and the old coil over Man a Fre shocks in the rear maybe there is still hope ......give up the aged out ancient 9.50 15 BFG MT's ....but there you go. I still feel maybe I can clear the 33x10.50-15's.............

Rattle can paint job, she's no longer Mello Yello, just "Mello"

Used rustoleum Camo Khaki

Going to clear coat tomorrow...

 

[MartynFJ4071]

Resurfaced my exhaust manifold flange. It was still true but badly corroded as was the flange to the inlet manifold. Good enough for a gasket and block off plate.

 

[georgia fj40]

Welded, painted, and installed new metal tech nose gaurd, got the small stinger kit too. Installed a new Chinese snorkel, ordered silicone tube fittings, and aluminum tube to plumb it in.

 

[tahoe40/45]

New seat covers and cushions. They are really nice, except now I'm about two inches higher and two inches closer to the steering wheel. It will be nice when they break in.
