What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (41 Viewers)

[RWBeringer4x4]

Got it back from the shop after having my power steering overhauled. I'm not 100% on board with how they routed the hoses - they claimed the couldn't get them up under the bib like most I've seen...That said, I'd say it's a massive improvement (particularly to the frame cross-member) from the previous owner's attempt...

Before and After pictures:

New...

Boring....but, it has a new battery.

No more cammo?!

Looks good! Can't wait to paint mine, someday...

The cammo was brushed on house paint that has chipped and cracked all over. I'm super happy with it now

New handbrake cable from Cruiser Dan. 10 minute job and what a difference! I also put a new battery in my BMW motorcycle which took me three hours and strengthened my love of Cruiser simplicity.

Worked on replacing and rerouting some of the wiring. Would be impossible without book my dad bought back in the 80's

Quite the Motor Home - did you by chance talk to the owner? Wondering if he built the camper or converted something?

Started installing my new Lokar shifter. I had to resolve the rear mount issue since I have a Downey adapter and the rear mounting bracket wouldn't work as originally intended, and I to modify the right side bracket because of interference with the t-case shifters. A couple more cable clamps, shift lever and linkage and some clean-up and we'll start putting everything back together.

Sure glad I got the 16" shifter and not the 24" .

Removed the radiator as it is toast.
