2007 Land Cruiser Build & BS Thread

Yea I do miss that aspect but jockeying it around the other boat trailers and utility trailers in the driveway and yard just made the decision easier.

 

I need a 40, too. I’m way off from that purchase though.

 

Yea we’re always on the lookout for a good 80 or 60. I don’t have the skills to keep a 40 going lol

 

you a savage bo. lol. Im gonna get some custom plates for this but not sure wat i wanna do. Vet tags will keep the police away but i kinda want something else

Shoot bo when you find one let me know i'm probs 5 years away from buying one

80 would be perfect.. they've come down ALOT in the last couple years too.

 

you got a spare utility trailer you wanna sell let me know. Need a reason to come down that ways lol.

Also, tires have arrived. Look no different from what the wife can tell. looks good to me, will report on friday when they get mounted/balanced my impressions.

 

To be honest, the short wheelbase gets old in the 40. I sold mine about a year ago, as I wasn’t driving it The 80 is the way if you want old LC style with more modern stuff, like AC.
My 80 could take the most beating off-road then all of them I have had.

 

This is now the new SC BS thread, change my mind.

 

yeah i feel like ultimately the 40 is def a 3rd vehicle, def a luxury item to have for sure. Wife is probs gonna get an electric jeep 4xE in a bit and maybe thatll open the door to a 40 lol. or a Tesla shit.

im all for it

 

Progress has stalled on my GX so this is my new home for a while.

 

shit, you got a full loadout getting put on your rig. all you need to do now is just push it and do some wheelin/campin

All are welcome on my threads.

 

Nah just an enclosed for storing furniture and an old utility trailer that I use for random stuff here and there now that I don’t have a truck bed.

We’re keeping our eyes open for a good 80 but those 60s just look nice. Luckily for me the wife is onboard with any cruiser we find.

Everybody likes a nice cruiser thread!

 

got the floor mats in a few days ago but didnt post any pics lol. wanted to switch up from weathertechs for once.

they're not as coverage heavy but they're def still high quality and whatever spillover i get is fine. the LC carpet is super soft and lets dirt and sand go easily







Also the tires that'll be getting slapped on tomorrow

 

Those tires don't look to bad at all.

 

They look like the original BFG KO's

 

yeah i really like them!

bingo. Paying homage to the OG BFGs.

Got the tires mounted and balanced today. No issues whatsoever and took it on the interstate at 80 and no vibrations. Tires def have an audible hum on the interstate but nothing the volume knob didnt fix. All in all aint nothing wrong with them so far. Will report back in 5k miles (258k).

went for 275/65/18. The rumors about their tires running big appear to be true. Huge difference but still no rubbing so im happy.

 

Went on shift the other day for the EMS service and these photos had to be taken lol.

 

So clean!

 

Oh yeah, i washed and did a clay bar + 1 step paint correction and slapped some Turtle wax ceramic spray on it and she she repels water still like no ones business. Did the engine bay as well to make sure it wasnt leaking anything. Washed some oil buildup and nothing new has appeared so was pleased to see that as well. Threw the engine cover in the trash because.. who needs an engine cover lol.

 

Did the same within weeks of ownership when I grabbed my GX. The process takes time but we'll worth the effort.
