What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (31 Viewers)

[GarageRat]

Cleaning, stripping, priming, and painting my '63.

Welded in panels for a '74 my dad owns to make it a panel delivery and figuring out what we want to do for a rear door.

Tripped over the rear axle to my '69.

I am going to polish them a little more and probably wax them or clear coat them. I fear the clear coat will discolor over time so wax might be the best way.

If you can find it, "AutoSol" works awesome. Combined with a buff and a die grinder and you'll be .

It both cleans and protects. I'd use wax as well.

(Paint stripper will remove clear cote.)

I'd love to have access to your scr@p pile.

That tub is super clean. What do you do with these old tubs?

Got a pile behind the shop, Free if you want them, got a troopy body to thats pretty easy to repair,

If you were in driving distance I would take you up on those, that one in the picture looks so much better then most of them up here that have not been restored.

Removed my old tire carrier and sold it off (going to build a dual swing-out bumper). Not much else going on with this crappy weather.

Had a look on the map, he looks to be within driving distance for you. (Too bad there aren't better roads.)

Hop in your 40, and go pick up some parts.;p

Shipping would be the killer. If I was down in Florida, I'd be looking into how to get them from across the Gulf of Mexico.

 

[cjgoode]

Across the gulf, maybe I can hire these guys to import a few

 

[bikersmurf]

Bet they'd work cheap.

 

[Fast Eddy]

Finished the rear brakes and drove it on the street! First time since S&T.

 

[Fj40Mumbles]

[Trollhole]

Rebuilt the heater. Put the doors back on. It was a sad day.

Fixed the OBA system, unstuck the winch cable, replaced a burned out brake light and fixed a wiper motor issue.

I tell you what, maybe the next big order that takes place, I may just take you up on that troopy. (to save a little on shipping) Keep me in mind when the time comes. Seriously...

 

[hey you]

What I have I done this week...

I was busy this week. I replaced, repaired, painted, and cleaned a lot of old and worn parts,

Radiator, thermostat, radiator hoses, heater hoses, fan belts, door weather stripping, passenger side door window, gas tank, rubber fuel lines, battery. I also bought new tires and wheels. I also took out the bench seat and put the jump seats back in.

Ok, maybe not all this week...

Hey you,
Agree with Theo, nice truck! Did you have any more info about that storage box behind the front seats please?

Thanks,

I have one just like it; mine is a Con-Ferr locking box that sits just behind the seats. I use it to hold an auxiliary fuse block and tools.
