What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (26 Viewers)

[danxcsp]

put the skinnies on & rolled it outside for some sunshine

I almost have the rolling chassis done. I just got the p-coateded wheels back and and put some Yokohama's Y742S skinnies on, I like this look.


Next I'll finish the exhaust and install the carb (when Jim @ TLC is done). Then I'll start on the paint job.

Made my own fender skirts.
made my own tail gate.

 

[Travis22]

Fitted new OME anti inversion greaseable shackles, pins and all new bushings to the old girl.

The OEM shackles and pins still looked ok, but the bushings were all shagged. Will see how the OME goes, it sure looks the goods!

Damn nice job on those fenders. I just built a set myself.
It's a bit of work but well worth the effort and far, far stronger than a replacement set.
I got a lil crazy and used 316L stainless but I live in the jungle so I use SS or aluminum any time I possibly can.

 

[jmdaniel]

Put in a new DieHard Platinum. Expensive, but worth the piece of mind.

 

[imabigbangkindaguy]

Recieved and installed my "New To Me" stock '76 seats....

They are freakin awesome!!!!

Thanks shmukster!!!!

 

[imabigbangkindaguy]

Finished a Roll Bar project/idea that I had.

Inspered by the Defender 90 Roll Bar,

Stainless..... NiiiiiZe !!!!

I did the same thing with the rear hoop... But mine is tight with the hardtop in the back. Also added three point belts in the the rear (with a bench).

It does Compromise the roll bar strength because there are no angled braces.

 

[77mustard40]

Rebuilt the rear heater

 

[danxcsp]

Thanks started on it Christmas break and am finally seeing progress...

I'm in Michigan and had to get the tires shipped in from CA -- the local tire guys thought I didn't know what I wanted! They took more weight then normal but it may have been my old rims?? Anyway I like the look and think the steering will be nice and easy with the skinny tiers

 

[Isaacjohnstar]

Fabbed a turbo mount for my stock manifold 3B. Almost finished with everything. I need to weld the oil return bung to the oil pan and have the exhaust made. The intake ducting is a but ghetto as well so I need something different. Turbo build thread coming soon.

 

[platypusREX]

First, I Looked at the motor.

Then I installed two missing screws in my hood. I am going to replace them all soon.

.

Then I replaced the two nuts, lock washers and washers on the EGR to exhaust manifold pipe.Sorry, forgot the pic..

Then I put my defrost nozzles on.

Then I installed my jack stuff. I hope I have the other pieces right.

Then after two hours of banging and bending I fixed the skid plate that shotgun gave me.

Then I ended up doing the mirror.

Then I was tired and quit. Good night.

[eazzrider]

Went topless for the first time.

My 16 year old loves it.

 

[chicago]

Continued working on the custom rear fenders.

WOW!!!!
And I thought I was into some sheet metal work!! FAAAAAWWWK!
Id be slitting my wrists if I were you!

Dont get me wrong! Those look awesome, but...You know how I feel about that kind of work in general. Seeing it up close like that in the pics above makes my eye twitch.



Youre a better man than I, Michael!!!!

Thanks for your props. It was a little more work then I expected but they came out better to.
Check the fender build tread, you'll probably twitch some more.
