What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (29 Viewers)

[romey]

just lap (you can see the belt just hangin on the left side). although i'm thinkin about oem belts/or similar to mount on the rear bar as well...

i just went along with the set up the PO had since it already came with the floor brackets and he said that the minivan seats bolt on with their own lap belts, to keep it simple. used the hockey pucks to raise the rear a little to get a nice lean/angle when seated (i think it was meant this way with the way it fit oem in the minivan).

Got 2-1/2" more leg room by bolting a piece of Unistrut between my driver's seat and the stock slider/mount. It also raised the seat by 3/4" which also helps. An amazing difference in comfort for me (I'm 6'2").

Hmmm. I'm 6'6". Love that idea though not of lifting the seat.

6' 6"! I'm 6' 2" and my knees are bent at a right angle with my seat slid all the way back. How do you even get in?! Ha, ha.

Nice work 1911--so simple and clean. I need to move that project up on my to-do list.

I'm 6'5" and I have the stock seat setup. I also wouldn't mind the extra leg room but do not want to raise the seat at all. I have to run w/o sun visors as it is to be able to see traffic lights.

Years of flying old tail draggers and beech 18s; I fold well.

That's why I prefer rhd. Much easier to drive when tall.

Sanded down both Rocker Panels in my quest for a respray!

Played with my new tailgate

I took my new tailgate off the donor vehicle to get it fit on my '72 FJ40 and then get media blasted and primed. Nice piece - minor surface rust and no rot, 100% complete. Never thought I'd end up with one this nice. Yippee.

Painted my hubs, but cant decide if I should paint the center lettering too.

Sometimes you catch a break!

Those hubs look great. I have been needing to take mine apart and check them out.

 

[PabloCruise]

Is that an OE tailgate? What did you use for the latches? How did you connect the hinges to the tub? I have a drop down tail gate to install that I'm working through these questions on.

X2, I like that idea as well!

 

[DSRTRDR]

the hinges are bolted to the sill, if you have one - tailgate is going on my truck as we speak

Keep them as-is...if we are voting.

 

[PWCO70crusier]

Finished the last of the loose panels (door) and its ready for the paint shop. Started cutting out the floor and making patch panels. Got the first couple of pieces back from the paint shop...

Installed a new exhaust system (OEM-ish). Sounds better now. Hope to install Roundeyes with relays this week.

Do you have some pics for us? Can you elaborate a bit on where and what you bought? Also how you routed it. I will be doing mine here shortly.

What the Truck?

Pulled up the bedliner in the rear and discovered a bunch of rust worms made a nest. Guess a more appropriate question is what am I doing to my cruiser over the next few weeks?

Mine's a '72, still has the frame 'bumper' for the OEM muffler, so I simply bought that and the OEM tailpipe from SOR and ran a temporary (clamped) line from the manifold output to the muffler. Going to take it to a shop and get them to make a hard-pipe from the manifold out to the muffler and weld the tail pipe to the muffler. OEM on the '72 simply runs in side the frame on the drivers side.
