What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (40 Viewers)

[George Amonette]

Had to leave it at the repair shop trying to get the A/C working again. The compressor pulley rubbed a hole in the line. I went to pick it up, drove it 10 miles and no cold air. Took it back and left it again. Got to get that A/C working. It's the only request/requirement my wife has.

I Replace the old worn out WARN winch motor with a new unit, clean up all the electrical resealed the housing, change the oil, and managed to pop on a new plastic cover. This should be good for another 30 years now!

This winch predates the 8274 as it does not have a free spool clutch.

The old motor gave up the ghost after a cruiser saving long hard winch pull up a Sanddune that I was precariously hanging off of. The old girl pulled me off the dune on the level sand and then Breathed through last.

The front end of an FJ40 and an 8274 winch or perhaps one of the most iconic combinations in all of automotive history if you ask me.

what seats are those? Direct install or a bracket needed?

It’s the Bestop fold and tumble. I had it recovered to match the BMW seats. It comes with the bracket.

I took apart the rear driveshaft and found that the PO had installed it misaligned, also the pinion nut and transfer case nut were way out of torque spec, too loose. I also greased everything and my vibration and grinding problem is gone had her up to a smooth 100kmh which was unimaginable yesterday.

sorry quoted the wrong picture. Meant this seat. BMW? Need an adapter kit for those?

Put this under Iron Yak build thread. Still not sure about weather or not to post in both places.
I have been acquiring items for a tool bag for a while now. Bought a partial set of tools that came with a Toyota Bag that I haven’t seen before Which is tan in color. I also bought a dark waxed canvas roll up bag.
Had my local embroidery shop scan images from Toyota bag and stitch into new bag. I am really happy with the result.

More epoxy painting, nice to do it outdoors.

Wanted to stop chomping on boulders. Installed spring skid plates front and rear.

I was thinking about these pods but avoided them because of the raised "beads" in that panel. Where are yours?

 

[KingAir Driver]

Accomplished a few things today... re-installed gauge cluster, trans tunnel, and gas tank. Only problem is my gas tank straps are over an inch too short! What am I doing wrong? The tank is seated properly. What am I missing?

I don’t know what beads you are refering too. I added pics of them I stalled.

Two different trucks. The fancy seats are these and yes you need adapters for those as well. Which they sell.

these. Only reason I haven’t bought those yet is because they wouldn’t sit flush.

Haven't done anything to my Toy but did pull the trailer down to the creek for some gravel to do some repairs on the driveway.
Not going out much sure saves on gas.
I am getting about three weeks to the gallon.
