What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (31 Viewers)

My 40 has been relegated to the back yard for parking so I cleaned off the pad where the pool was, parked the 40 and ordered a cover from CCOT. It arrived yesterday and covers nicely, even the mirrors. It may even cover the bull bar if I remove the jack.

I am happy with the cover.

Impressive work!

Metal Tech tube fenders getting mocked in. Upper fender will need some trimming.

I reinstalled the window channel that I re-felted with the soft side of velcro. It was kind of a PITA, but I think it will work until one day when I get enough $ to buy new oem window channels.

Installed the packing weatherstrip pieces to the front doors.

Replaced the old window cranks with some matching ones with the little silver piece in the middle. Anyone in need of some used window cranks?

Lastly went up in the hills with my family. It was short but we had a blast.

Resurrection update: removed bad gas - what a smelly, tarry mess! Shoulda just removed the drain plug, but unwisely chose first to siphon gas out. Ruined my siphon, but got it all out. Upper aspect of tank slight rust, bottom tarry areas. I probably should have removed the tank and used a piece of chain for a good shake, then coated the inside. May still do that at some point, but after I put 5 gallons of fresh gas, it started right up - on a 17 year old Optima (before they moved their plant south o' the border). I've kept it on a battery tender and it reads only 395 CCA out of the original 800 CCA. Will get an Odyssey 34/78 if it gets much worse. Knock on wood, the Sears Platinum (rebadged Odyssey) in the Taco is 12 years old.

I'm stocking up on gas filters, as I expect to go through them for a while. I'm hoping the new gas will dissolve the bad gas residue. We'll see.

Really???? Never heard of anyone looking for the radio section of the dash.

I am, that was the first thing I looked for in your picture.

Went for a drive to Milparinka for the weekend. Had to stop and wait while the royal flying doctor closed the road and used it for an airstrip. It was a practice run to teach all the local farmers how to prepare the strip for landing.

I'd say if you have residue still, dump a gallon or two of berrymans B9 or B12 (whichever your state has) and let it sit in the tank then drain with fresh gas...Cleans varnish up nicely.

Progress continues. Hoping for shiny paint soon.

Paid GA a 1 day list to pick up a new engine for my build. I love the old style valve cover. Hope to have it cleaned up and painted by next week and swap out the old for older... But better.

'66 F135 engine going in to replace a seized '70 F.

If this is a "project vehicle" then mine is a parts truck!

Took my OE seat frames to the blaster and should get them back sometime next week. Then I'm going to prime and paint! Ordered Duplicolor SS100.

Got a spring hanger straightened up at Arrow Sheet Metal here in Tampa. Got a little tweeked when we remove it 7 yrs ago (wow that long!) For ashackle reversal. It will get welded back on shortly as my buddy is helping me reverse the reversal.
