Thread: BJ73 Landcruiser

Picked up the truck today after having some bits fabbed up and installed for the winch housing, I figured I may as well get the snorkel installed at the same time since I was going to be out of town and not have time to do it. Looks good, shit myself at the price. Gotta buy me an arc welder.... Spooled up the new dyneema winch rope. Still gotta get around to re-installing the bash plates for under the winch, radiator etc, but the mods to the winch housing look to have improved the approach angle a fair bit. Need to find a better spot for the license plate

You are now lacking a picnic table for when you stop for lunch.

True, that is one downside. Maybe I'll hang a fold-down table on one of the rear doors. I can make it when I buy a welder.

Just chuck the plate inside the windscreen

If you do that make sure you fix it down....saw a farmer in Namibia all most scalp him self when the plate that he had on the dash board smaked him one when he hit a Kudu

Sorted my dual stereo/no cupholder situation today. Still need new speakers & probably some bigger ones in the back rather than just the 2 4" jobs under the dash

now I can see it.

Time you mowed the lawns Pete

Got a LED dome light conversion. Much brighter than the 1985 incandescent. Have not tested it at night yet.

Cant be worse than the old one although your mood lighting has taken a severe hit now...

Yeah but I can find my keys in the dark when they fall out of the ignition going around a corner now

gimp, one thing to look at is a new wiring harness for your main headlights, most cars of that era go through he actual steering wheel switch (ie tiny as fuck wires) which means low power. I changed out mine for a 150w set up with a new bulb but standard housing and OMG the difference is night and day (1994 Patrol)

I'll have a look at that, cheers.

D'you reckon this is normal play in this PTO shaft?

NO!
