What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (39 Viewers)

Loving that!
*My Christmas came early from Mrs. Claus....... I’ve gotten too heavy for the Naish plus the new board boasts a setup that I can try fly fishing from!

Nice....which setup does your Bote have? That’s going to be tons of fun

This board has inserts for a rod holder rack/cooler........ It’s rated for up to 300lbs so I should be good
Be something like this:

This company is based out of Ft Walton....

Took the 40 to the top of Triangulation Point with some friends and had a picnic. Beautiful views and good fun.

Drove it & added some parts provided by @cwags12 ;
I replaced a broken vent window latch, added the long since lost spare tire carrier handle rubber nipple and lower ambulance hinge covers.

No time for pics as I was having too much fun!

edit - added pics

$15K, ran when parked, clean, all original, no lowballs, I know what I've got.

Yes that is typically how the ad would read on Craigslist, good one Ryan!

Took my son son for some post apocalyptic zombie target practice. Ran into a guy driving this Ferrari.
All he wanted to do is talk about my 40.

I have had a similar discussion with a guy in a ‘68 Shelby GT350 last summer. Pretty amazing how our 40’s attract attention!

Scored these tube doors, refurbished and reworked them. Had to make door strikers and safety rope in case the latch fails

If there was only some place to drive in a '68 Shelby? I grew up in the passenger seat of my dad's '66 Cuda, and I have no desire to take a spin in a fast, or sporty, car, and I used to love it. I'd rather garner the attention of mule deer with ponderosa pine needles in my radiator screen.

Now, if I could only put an end to the burn-outs performed by that driver of a SBC FJ40 on my lawn at 3:30 in the morning, just to prove a point about the 2F in the driveway? Oh, well, I'll take it snail pace and pay for the same gas/mile anyway.

Attached the windshield frame to the body. Having a windshield installed next week or the following week.

I totally agree. I really enjoy the places our 40’s take us A performance car is really only “in its element” on a road course, certainly not any public road. ‘66 Cuda.........your Dad had excellent taste! The old Mopars were very special. I am sure your Dad would approve of the 40 though too, they are also very special. I think it is fair to say there won’t be another like either. Merry Christmas !

The same tool box that worked on this, works on the 40.

Opposite ends of the spectrum.

I sold this:

The GTO was almost stupid fast.

To get this:

The LV is almost stupid slow. Love them both though.

Nice cruiser! But I do have to say I love that GTO. What year is it? 67?

'67, Yes. For a stock, original car, it was fast. 360hp HO 400. Crap highway gears, but it still pulled like a freight train.

It’s a nice one!

Finished putting new, old school tires in the snow plow "Working Pig".......Mother Nature can bring it on now!

 

[letterman52]

Moving along on this. Floor pan tacked in, wheel well top, sides, and supports in for good.

 

[Dizzy]

All I'm saying is that I'd rather drive on soil tracks, looking into campfires and clear starry skies, than being on asphalt, starring at someone else's brakelights.
