What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (36 Viewers)

[greenbeast]

Broke my shock mount stud in back on my 82 fj40. This while installing 2.5 " OME lift.
Finished product to follow. Along with new tie rods, new front brakes, rebuilt front end. powder coated wheels and front bezel.

Finally started on the doors. As usual, this is leading to more money and more time than previously planned. https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-seri...door-refresh-pics-weatherstripping-stuff.html

I wheeled

 

[Pulso]

I installed by newly refinished steering wheel. It looks great, and the horn button even works!

 

[Speed King]

Very nice.^

 

[Fast Eddy]

Mounted my Warn 8274

Still needs a big hole in the bumper, wiring, etc.

Worked on my front door hinges. Had to reround the hing holes on the door part of the hinges as well.

Figured out what I needed for new pins, then realized I screwed up, so the decision on the material will happen today. When it's done the pins should remove easily from the top or bottom of the hinge to allow for ease of door removal.

Finished up the discs and installed 4 new Toyota steelies.

No double pumping anymore! I'm running a Wilwood unboosted MC but it stops straight with no fade. I love them. I'm still looking for a disc front axle but went ahead and used the JT Outfitters front bracket with the Monte Carlo calipers and Poser's brackets and discs in the back. If nothing else, I'll be out the cost of the brackets when I find the '76+ axle, but I have to say it was pretty easy and a lot safer than what I had.

This gives me a little breathing room and I won't have to worry about that single circuit master anymore.

I converted to discs in stages...
Front discs was my single best upgrade, and rear discs was the next best. That's in ~20 years and 90,000 miles.

That's high? I paid $3.49 for some gallons of regular lately. I'm going to tank up the rig and the jerry can this weekend in anticipation of $4...

No pictures, but drove my new to me 78 FJ40 to work for the first time... Yeah not nearly as exciting as everyone else, but it's a big deal for me.

Changed to BMW Seats

Installed BMW seats. These things tilt forward, so real handy to get behind the seats.

 

[DSRTRDR]

I lifted some parts numbers off the VW-Bosch heater blower motor in my truck

and sent them to a MUD member who requested the info

I can do worse, just filled up the tank for $8,19 per gallon and that is with a discount.

Driving a car becomes more and more a luxury in these parts.
