What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (40 Viewers)

[Cal40]

Seat covers, roll cage, and wheeling.

Fast Eddy,

Did you formerly have bows on your 40? Saw one just like this driving down winchester a few weeks ago with soft top bows. Real nice.

 

[Waterboy]

Thanks!

Nice bends! What are you using?

Eastwood tools and Brake lines from Advanced Auto Parts. They came out a lot better then expected. Looking at redoing the ones I already did (axle's and down the frame).

Thanks again

Soft top bows? Are you sure? I was on Winchester a few weeks ago coming and going from getting my dash box installed (so there's another thing I've done to my cruiser lately).

Very nice! I will have to use that pic when I restore my 8274. Did you do that or did it come that pretty? Nice bumper also, where did ya get it?

I splurged on a new 8274-50. The bumper is one I built a few years back out of 2x5" rectangle tube, I just modified it to accept the winch and repainted it.

That's an old fat blue healer

Ordered new front indicators, removed front guards, the panels above them and the front panel, stripped the paint off them and cut out the rust, halfway through welding in new plates. Disassembled, cleaned and rebuilt the wiper switch. Changed tie rod ends. Welded up some cracked braces on the tray. Ripped out the over head console. Ordered a second hand speedometer.


All right for the first week...

 

[FouadHafeez]

Wheeled the bloody hell out of it!

About @#$%ing time, too! It'd been building and building and building and building...for FAR too long.
