What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (27 Viewers)

[edwjmcgrath]

Replaced my battery with a new Yellow Top, and while I was at it, put in a new tray and cables.
And then I cleaned my 30+ year old oem toolbag and took it to the tailor to sew in a new zipper.
The latter got me declared officially nuts by my wife.

Last week I added a manual fuel primer and tonight I removed the two junk ass batteries and swapped in a 1000CA battery with a kill switch. It actually starts normal and runs without me getting all bent outa shape. It's also got a new massive hook on the back for a tow point. It still has a sputter and it sorta sputters or hiccups if I depress the accelerator. It's like missfire or something. Timing or running too rich?

I also have a new spare tire that came in. Gotta mount that too and get a few things done before wheeling this sunday.

Got to work on what we thought was a bad alternator, after we spent the money on converting to the sbc alternator we found that the problem was our wire off the positive post on the alternator had been burned though by my exhaust manifold. Well i guess the only good news is every thing under the hood is all Chevy now

Installed a new throttle cable and changed the trans and tcase oil. Then patted it on the hood told it "Good Girl".

Newbie Paints Wheels

Hi All! Newbie FJ40 owner here! I've always wanted to get an FJ40 and a family member sold me his 12/'74 with original F engine and 74k miles. I'm just starting the project, so this week I cleaned and painted the wheels back to white!

Prepped for a paint job on my 78. Took off alot of stuff, Sanded, masked etc. Shooting tomorrow.

7 hours of prep. Also did a rear sill change out last weekend.

Mini resto until next summer when I will do a full blown resto.

I got it stuck in the soft today on the trail - needed a strap :whoops:

 

[weez440]

well i drove it to my parents tonight to basically say i am done working on it for the year so far. next weekend it goes to deercamp where during rifle season it will prove itself with everything i did to it this last year which should impress the hunting crew. also after season it will go into storage at my parents for the winter where it can hibernate in peace where me and the cruiser can dream of the fun things we did together this last summer. before that happens though we gotta get through deer season where i am hoping we get some use out of the brand new tsl's.

[VTGreg]

Got it on the road last week, getting some work out of it this week. Supposed to snow tonight so it's definitely (past) time to pull the boat!

Finally got around to installing new tie rod ends. Not an exciting upgrade, but it cleaned up the steering slop quite a bit.
