Nice cobra!!! Yeah, seems like winter is pretty much done here in No. NV as well. Supposed to be in the low 60s all this week and into next. Either this is signs of a nasty, hot year to come or Mother Nature has something else up her sleeve.

Thank You Hopefully Mother Nature has something up her sleeve. California government loves the word drought.

Should be here in a few days. Saw this promotion and ordered my bumper right away. Free is my favorite 4 letter word. Thanks for letting me know

Modified the Land cruiser fender to fit the Lx470. Pretty easy job and save some money.

Hand File set to square the holes

As any DIYer, this I think is the most satisfying thing to observe. Better than any telenovela, the plot thickens.

With the shelter-in-place recommendations, its easy to stay at home if you have some cool Cruiser projects lined up in the your garage. I am just down the road from you, in my garage.

Now that’s a lot of work. Not worth the price.

Removing the Entire AHC system

The most simple way to remove the rear shocks, drill a hole in the body and then cap it. 1

Looking good!
Did you remove the pump and other components from the frame too? Any tips? Mine are still attached like dead weight for a year now!
