What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (38 Viewers)

[bikersmurf]

Got some new shoes...

33x10.50-15 on 8" white spokes with 3.5" back spacing with 1/4" spacers on all 4 corners.

Now I can go wheeling nag get em dirty.

Sorry got excited with the quote button . But with that big of a dog maybe we do need a double take

I only saw the sweater puppies.

Installed a two inch autometer tach, and a new parking brake cable. Also replaced my clutch slave.

I replaced the stock Aisan carb with a brand new Weber 38. Granted, the Aisan was due for a rebuild, but wow what a difference! I'm loving the electric choke, and there is a huge increase in acceleration. Also, before, I could barely hit 60mph with it floored, and this afternoon I took it out on the highway and hit 75mph with lots of throttle to spare (too scared to go any faster!) This is all out of the box, too, I didn't have to adjust a thing, except up the idle a tad.

Replaced my PS front axle seal and wheel bearings - took about 6 hrs and 4 beers. Not bad for a rookie.

Installed an FJ60 double cardan drive shaft in the rear of my FJ40. Will be testing it out later today...if the heat doesn't kill me.

 

[40zen]

Used a BFH and a grinder to persuade the stock skidplate to fit around the driveline and new exhaust.

Let's see... This week I bought a 3 speed tranny and transfer case for my 74 40 and also bought a window regulator, painted it to matched before realizing it was for the wrong side.... Oops. Guess I'll have an extra...

 

[mruff]

Also bought a motor with 47,000 miles on it and an extra 3 speed tranny just in case...

4 beers in 6 hrs! You are a rookie!

Just kidding...

 

[fzr400guy]

Washed and waxed the 40......this may be the last time it will be bright shiny red.....The weathers hot so she will be heading to the painter as soon as I can make up my mind on Hot Rod Flatz Desert Tan or a normal shiny Desert Tan color.

 

[hawkeyealum]

accidently took off a bit of paint from the pillar when trying to clear the paint from the vin plate. Not pleased with myself.

Heh. Yeah, if I was in my own garage with my own beer, I wouldn't have limited myself. And the truck would still be torn apart.

 

[caladin]

this week ish...

Finally finished my Center console made out of an 40mm ammo can. Not entirely happy with it, but it works for now.

and it wasn't technically this week, but i also made a new transfer case shifter boot. I'm passably pleased with it.

All the blueish green bits are leather, it looks more green in person.

Cal-

 

[Rockets2000]

Needs some orange stitching. Go Dolphins!

 

[POTATO LAUNCHER]

Removed the Diamond Plate 1/4"s and found fiberglass under about 3/8" of Bondo. Apparently my 40 has been gold at some point in its life. My quick scuff and shoot of Flat Khaki has been delayed. It will be better in the long run.

went out to yachats for the weekend

 

[jsuthey]

Got my 40 started today on the first try after a little cleaning of the points with some fine sand paper.Did not have to pour any gas in the carb,just starts up now-yea!!
Took a few driveway poser shots with our 100 parked close by.And one of the engine bay.Lots more work to do,hopefully I can stay on task this time and follow through and get my rig on the trail.

 

[PixelWrangler]

Destin, your starting to piss me off!

went out to yachats for the weekend

Damn, I miss Oregon! Don't stop the photos on my account!

 

[LRChops]

Installed a Be Cool radiator.

The stock radiator allowed the temp to climb to around 225* when idling around for extended periods of time.

New radiator keeps the temps down around 220* LOL... I think I need a shroud, I only have an electric fan at this point. (195* t-stat)

I have a similiar radiator with two electric fans. The first fan kicks on at 200, the second at 220. No fan off the motor!
