What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (47 Viewers)

[myquestoyota]

Got my electric power steering done and I'm on the road wondering how I ever lived without it.

Is your wheelbase stock? Looks like you have moved the rear axle back. Maybe flipped springs? Sweet looking ride!

Thanks, and you are correct, flipped rears. Hand made the quarters to get the wheel opening position I wanted.

Those aren't springs they are bender board for the landscaping... I'm sure that's what he told his wife.

Expedition/camping trailer build is underway. Building a trailer from a tub with a rooftop tent. Using a 40 frame and matching OME springs/shock to match my 40.

Just left the hot rod shop. The top is painted, BRIGHT WHITE! The doors, sides and rear hatch will be painted this afternoon and everything will start to do back together tomorrow.

Got the doors mounted. Had trouble with the old weatherstripping. Ordered new OEM weatherstrip from Land Cruiser Parts. Got the hood bumpers and latches mounted. Lights are all working. Remaining issues to be worked on - fuel gauge not working (bad ground?); spare tire carrier mounted; install weatherstrip on front doors and rear hatch door; mount rear emblems; repaint a few bumper areas that have some beige over spray on them. I'm so close to finishing I can taste it. I want to drive the 40 again.

Looks great. How will you attach the front visor?

They will use the supplied rivets that came with the rain gutter using silicone under the top as a sealant.

Yuuuup!

Exactly. Want the forward of it to be a bit longer but that’s the general plan.
