What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (48 Viewers)

[KUJO85]

Took her out in a bit of lake effect snow. Other than these 5 minutes she'll be in the garage all winter

 

[Fj40 Brazil CE]

I installed my Air Conditioning

 

[Indestructible 47]

took her to the beach for the first time..... was so good on the soft sand with 12.5 wide tires and a 12ht

disclaimer: i washed her really well when we got back. i hate sand cos it makes rust.

Put on the windshield frame after putting the wiper motor and linkage in, along with the wires for it and the dome light. Rebuilt the coolant tank bracket. Of course had to drill holes in later model fenders. Put the front seats in. Set up the brakes, did a ruff toe end adj. Reset the choke and idle mixture. Put some pretty covers over the battery terminals, installed the new marker lights. Drove it for the first time since starting the rebuild about 1230 Christmas morning. Damn it was cold!

Some more 1/8" plate

Turned out ok.

Leather is expensive!

Came up with this to get around cutting the Line X out of grommet holes. Found the plugs at Ace. Bout ready go back and choke the S@#t out of the guys who sprayed it.

Drove it the first time with the toe end like this, damn scaring above 40. Engine worked its self out runs good. Trying to get the rear heater working now, think it may be the ground.

Wind took out the fence but still got to use the cruiser.

Thanks Michael, long way from being done but its getting there. Figured out what was wrong with the rear heater after pulling it apart. Gotta get back to making some money.

Built a set of custom mats out of some old rubber anti-stress mat we had at the house. I used old school CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) techniques.

Bet that helps with the noise level

 

[GA Architect]

Had some hooks chromed, then installed to replace the nicked'up painted rusty ones.

It might help a little, but we all know they are like being inside a giant tin can. I still love it though.

Chipping off bed liner to go back to factory paint sux.

Alabama redneckery , drove on a dirt pile. We had fill dirt brought in last week and I could not pass up placing the 40 on one of the piles before they're spread.

Is that like King of the Hill?

Drove the dog sh....poop out of it! Little sucker will go pretty good if you got the balls to push it, glad we didn't put a 350 in it.

Country Roads.....got to love them!

Oh, for my rig, as I was driving in this morning, I had a "Brake Check" moment! I was doing about 40-mph, two does passed well in front and I could see a third on the side...well, the third made a late decision that almost cost it, it's life! Lucky my new brakes locked my 40 down without swerving and hitting the deer nor the on-coming cars.....and I drove on!
