What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (33 Viewers)

[rainingagain]

How about not being submissive to the wife and just getting what you want to get?
I'm currently trying to figure out how to fix the disaster some idiot made to install an AC compressor.

LOL and I'm sitting here like how about have a happy marriage where you communicate and your wifey isn't blindsided by a bunch of boxes at the door! As a husband I'd be just as pissed if I came home and found the door blocked with a bunch of her hobby stuff that we hadn't discussed. As long as this wasn't a pattern, I'd get over it.

Any who I'm assuming this is mostly just ribbing each other on a forum haha

Good luck with your compressor woes.

LOL! If getting something you want, because you're working, without having to ask as if you're a child or fear the wrath of your wife, is being a "tough guy", then I guess there's a special kind of submissive normy?
Anyway, I'm still looking for a way to adapt the screwed up AC compressor and alternator crap-mod that some idiot did in my HJ's previous life.

When I get it sorted, I'll post pictures of what worked.

You may be able to use a bracket like I did for my PS pump. It's a for a saginaw install, got it off amazon, real cheap and modified it a bit.

Builds - '78 Refreshtoration, what next?

Great work so far. Im doing a refreshtoration on a 78 mustard fj40 as well. It's always motivating to see what everyone else has done!

Interesting!
Do you know what the thread type is for where those bolts go to the engine block?

Not sure, but this is the part no for the bolt that would go there:

Likely a M10x1.5 thread. But could be 1.25.

Theres a bolt-hole more towards the bottom. May be for the original adjustment bracket. Figure it should be the same as those. Thanks!

Likely a M10x1.5 thread. But could be 1.25.

I may have to take a walk over to ACE Hardware. Maybe get one of each to see.
Thanks!

I never said not to communicate. I'm talking about husbands who are so afraid of their wives that they have to hide what they buy, and then tolerate being berated when discovered. It's ridiculous.

As far as my compressor woes, yeah, what a pain! Without a shop I have to work outside. Friggin hot even up here!

 

[Idaho Savage]

Ha!

There were days that my office looked like a distribution center. Then I'd take the stuff home a box at a time, straight to the shop.

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Doing what I do.

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

All this talk of topless stuff.

Took mine off for a couple of weeks.

 

[DangerNoodle]

Made some new dies for work.

I haven't found this panel that has both the body mount hole and the boubles in it yet, so i get to make them lol.

Got some more photos back from the lab I use. I love this shot of the fj40! this photo was taken with my Rolleiflex 3.5f of the same vintage as the fj40. Film: fuji pro 160ns

I might sell this one as a print! View attachment 3382211

That really is a great photograph

 

[igotta40]

Yikes hold on it’s only Monday. Anyway, replacing motor mounts.

 

[Roastchestnuts]

thanks!

Getting ready for surgery. Removed the plastic rear fender flares to expose the extent of the extreme cutouts. Test fit the patch panels.

I just installed a similar antenna in the same position and length. I was wondering if there was a need to put something between the antenna and hardtop or if it is pretty sturdy? Do you have any issues with that hitting constantly?

No issues and there appears to be rubber between. It’s old, and the hole that was cut to install it was done by a 3rd grader. That’s why it’s still there.
