My First Land Cruiser

37s eh, good thing gas is cheap now,LOL She’s looking good bye the way!

It’s a giant 54mm but, then a lock washer that you bend the tabs on, then another 54mm. I didn’t have a fish scale so you’re very right. I may not have tightened them to the right spec but when I finished with the hub rebuild and I turned the hub it felt way too tight to me. I figured it would loosen up a little and it definitely did. So I tightened them up now and hopefully they stay that way. It only took a half hour.

Yeah FJ gas is cheap but it’s so awful on fuel. I said to Tom the other day when he was here that it would be much cheaper on fuel to take my 7.3 and trailer and just tow the LX450 on the trailer. I can’t believe just how bad it is. LOL good thing I don’t drive it much

Wrenching away, stiffened up my rear bumper. And picked up my new trailer, I don’t plan on trailering the LX much but if I have to I can. It barely fits.

Finally took the little light bar off the bumper and put two 6” bars in the bumper, I welded two small tabs on the backside quick and wired them up.

Oh man the LC is looking awesome. The dual led pods look a lot better than the single in the centre.

[Slick_Yota]

^^^Agreed!

[toys-n-yotas]

You put those 37s to work in your back field yet? Any troubles gettin’ to the cabin?

[Toy-Yota]

Yeah I slid down and got stuck in the back, it’s brutal when it’s wet.

Did you run out of gas trying to get out? LOL – gas can sitting behind the truck!

[Toy-Yota]

Putting that gas in it would definitely make it smoke, there’s 50:1 in there right now haha. Been busy are work but I managed to paint the trailer wheels black. And I got a spare 37, just need a wheel now. Set the camper up too and started loading gear into it. I’m gonna get an inverter and deep cycle for it. And my wife is going to paint it pretty soon. The aluminum sides and top is all chipping.

I like that little tent trailer. It would be nice for Ardbeg / crown land adventures.

[Toy-Yota]

Yeah I’m excited to get some use out of it!

Quick question for anyone. I figured it would get more exposure here than on a new thread. A guy is selling these these stainless camp kitchens on kijiji. And he said he’ll do 200 bucks per unit if I buy multiple.

Let me know if you want some details, in my opinion they’re worth way more than he’s selling them for.

Well I went and got two of them, the guy is out in Kitchener which is close to a couple of you. He’s got like 60 of them and gives a deal the more you buy!

Do you think that storage box is strong enough to be moved with your gear in it?
I really like that “kitchen slide”, but the rest looks too bulky for my storage needs to be permanently mounted.
