What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (54 Viewers)

[FishNinJay]

Decided that I couldn't live with Jeep tail lights on my cruiser anymore so I ordered some oem tail lights and a backup light. Had to get out the jigsaw to make them fit. Way better!

Finally painted my '63

'56 Corvette Red, doesn't picture well but it's a super bright red.

Oh and for the sharp eyed, the tailgate does indeed have the stamping from a steel F valve cover welded in.

Changed the oil today.

 

[Wrighter]

Doing a frame off so... took the transmission out. the rear went up on jacks as the wheels, rear axle, springs all came off, only the front axle and steering components to go!

 

[rope]

I sprayed PB Blaster on everything on the underside. And what ever need it under the hood. Next comes the wire wheel, and rattle can.

 

[Cruizerjunkee]

Since the after didn't show up

 

[kenichols29]

installed my new alternator. My truck actually runs better and the belt never sequels like it used to. My old alternator had bad brushes.

 

[croozy]

I upgraded the headlights in the shorty.

Found out that compression is down, 400, 300, 340, 360

High leakage past the rings....

Started looking for a 13bt

Did you have the bumper fabbed or is it off the shelf? Like it a lot.

Mounted new shocks and steering stablizer. Put doors back together to include the regulators. New window felt. drilled a hole in the dash for the new ignition, replaced the window wing vent weatherstripping

Another great day wheeling.

Today we went with a friend who's got a Rubicon.

We went up NF-110 off of NF-9021 near where we were last time:
Bing Maps - driving directions, routes, and traffic

Didn't bring my good camera, but it was absolutely gorgeous. Uglina did great.

[nuclearlemon]

loaded the piggie up with scrap aluminum and went to the recycle yard, then the magic beer store.

I attached a close up, I shaved off the spare tire carrier when I replaced the rear sill. I figured since I only have the grill emblem and apron emblems the rear needed something.

 

[hellbent40]

thats sweet.. i like the tailgate.... nice werk...

 

[Fargenamps]

Put on a new front bumper and hitch

 

[69LC]

Reinstalled a rear shackle after removing it to trace the shackle hangar to build some new pieces. Also put new front shackle bolts in with grease so they move!
