Attempt at a little heat mitigation... First up, converted a later model steering box heat shield to "fit" our early model box. Thanks to Mark at Mark's Off Road (@65swb45) for the parts. Next up, installed the innovative clutch slave cylinder heat shield produced by Cruiser Cult. Thanks @red66toy for the wonderful product. Painted both with Steel-It polyurethane, industrial paint.

Reason #2 or #3 why I personally do not like headers; YMMV.

SWEET!

Where did you get that front bumper? Do you like the placement of the fairlead?

We were out and about today and stumbled across this beauty. In our neck of the woods we don't see much other than Chevy, Fords, and Dodge pickups and lots and lots of Heeps. I spoke briefly with the owner who said it was a RHD 70 series diesel imported from Japan.

Got it registered back in my name yesterday and drove it to the firehouse today.

I re-upholstered my jump seats this morning . Wasn’t too bad a job …. Just the Florida heat making it a little uncomfortable!!!! I had to make some slight seam adjustments to get the foam lined up better

@AndersonDin managed to break a CV and we think the transfer case on his 100 series while we off roaded at Crossbar in Davis, OK.

The 2uz did great at pulling him back to main camp. I couldn’t make it up this one section so we had a built mini truck pull him through. Great memories!!

Oh and this is the moment he broke his CV, transfer and almost rolled the 100 series.

Crossbar Land Cruiser almost rolls

It was supposed to be a simple two bolt job. Land Cruiser had a different plan.

I'll braze it

 

[RevISK]

I'll braze it

Braze it?
Just replace it, that’s f’d.

In my humble opinion of course…

Have I ever told you how humble I am?

I ended up misdescribing the problem
The blinker didn't turn on, and the 2 rear bulbs did, but didn't blink due to having too light a load.
Once I cleaned the ground for the front left blinker, now it turns on, and blinks. Both sides, same speed too. I also tightened a ground on the right rear marker light and now I've got a full set of working markers.
Don't want to get a ticket.

Great job tracking every issue down!

Took off the training wheels…

Took the 40 out for a nice little road trip.

None of my friends are Toyota guys, so I have to wheel with jeeps.
