What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (18 Viewers)

[RWBeringer4x4]

It is Cygnus white. It has the metal rain gutter, still factory riveted to the fiberglass. I cleaned away all the seam sealer from the rain gutter and resealed it with Napa #4313 seam sealer. I like it better than 3M.

Very clean work! Looks awesome.

Finally painted the last major item.[]

Wow, looks great Craig. You dog!

Master and slave went this week. Replaced them. Now want to head out to Stinson for the weekend. Have to exercise the clutch you know.

My master went out, too. Replaced the works on Monday. Drove to the mountains today.

Wire wheeled my side steps and primered them. Also sand seam sealer off the hard top getting ready for a new gutter.

Cheap and easy homemade seat brackets to lift and push the seat back a few inches.....no more leg cramps.....And a Vehicle Speed Sensor to pass Comifornia's smog .....no more check engine light....whooo hoooooooooo

Finally welded up a tensioner bracket for my power steering pump. Finally no more ghetto "temporary" (a.k.a...2 year) rope tied to the shock tower.

Ripping mine apart to repair a header leak , fixed the accel pump in the carb and once again flushed out the cooling system . Need to seriously think about the front oil seal since it's leaking pretty good . Front axle housing will never rust though....

After a year of daily driving (including some trails) with zero issues, finally felt it was ready to go on a trip, so I drove it to my parents' house in the mountains (~250 miles). Ran perfectly, got 13.2 mpg running 60 mph all the way. Love it!

I had the 40 seats ( out of a Chevy) reupholstered in a 80 series style.

I finally made the decision to fix my 1969 the right way. No more patches or diamond plate covers. It's either a new tub or new quarters and rear sill. The rest is very solid but the rear is bad. Any thoughts? Rear sill is totally gone.

Finally decided to pull the trigger to ship my wheels off to have them
widened at Stockton Wheel.

Here are my stock steelies widened out to 9" ready for some new BFG's.....as soon as I get my OME 2.5" lift installed, these will go on it. Along with 5 new OEM hub caps & treads...

NOTE: These were done by a guy in Calhoun, Georgia who restores Classic Cars. Very Reasonable and less than half the price of others.

 

[74HogGuy]

Definitely will post some pics. Garth - your blue 40 on the widened steelies inspired me to have mine widened. Planning to run 35x12.5 KM2s. I've seen some steelies widened, just not the late model wheels. - Justin

GA Architect - Wish I would have seen that sooner! Shipped mine out this past Thursday.

 

[Island Hopper]

Dumb question...
Why do you widen the wheel? And is that 9" bead to bead?
