New driver. Missed her turn and left to road at about 60mph, hit a utility pole about 10 yards off of the road.

…… no serious injuries?

With my daughter, no. I broke 2 ribs from where the seat belt caught me.
I don't know how there weren't any other injuries.
Fixed my Saginaw power steering.

Finished the Toyota Headlight Upgrade. Easy kit to plug and play however the wiring harness lengths are confusing so I cut it apart and shortened it to eliminate a bunch of extra wire. I also fabricated a relay/fuse holder.

Helped keep me from a homeowners insurance claim cutting down a deadish tree that was hanging over the neighbors fence. Put 50 or so miles on her this weekend, weather was prime!
Is there a slip-shaft hidden in there? When wheeling Landcruiser frames will flex enough to break the input of the Saginaw box. I'd highly recommend switching to a DD slip-shaft and Flaming River (or similar) U-joints. I'd be concerned that your current setup will fail and break at the possible worst time.
I broke ribs twice over the years, both times riding dirt bikes! Dirt bikes are supposed to be fun, right? Hope you are feeling better real soon Ryan
Steering shaft ground to match DD U-Joint. The alternate end fits directly onto the input shaft of the Saginaw steering box.
Hope you are feeling better...... Going to wait a bit until she learns to drive the 40?
Might not seem like much....but got clear title in the mail from State of Colorado on Thursday, tagged it Friday and my wife and I drove it to a dinner out Friday evening. It's legal! Process only took about 2 months.....I expected 3-4.

You're in trouble now, I know the look.
Wired up some OEM fog lamps.
Edit:
Switch shot. Period correct for '69. Thanks @ToyotaMatt !

Go synthetic. Easier on the hands, doesn't rust, easier to drag out being lighter. When it breaks it doesn't store the energy like wire and kill everything in it's path

While not technically on my LandCruiser, I did LC my tundra with a bit of a facelift.
Cut the vinyl on my Cricut and applied it to a signboard product made of styrene sandwiched by two pieces of aluminum.
Got the grill and hood bulge off of Craigslist for $80.

Also brought home a playmate for my 40.
This is a friends 62 who has sadly neglected it for the past decade. 50/50 chance it’ll end up being mine…
After a fresh bath, naturally…

If that truck is neglected, I would also like to neglect a 60 series in the exact same way.

Just washed. Cosmetics aren’t bad to be fair, downstairs is a much different story…
Bought it 10+ years ago as an FU to the ex and road-tripped from Nevada through Canada to Texas. Pretty much sat neglected since, which really isn’t the worst part… she had random mechanics “work” on it and they probably did much of the heavy lifting in getting it to its current sad state.
7 mile drive home was questionable at best.
