Wow Mark, great build. I am most impressed with the bumpers you and Mike built. This build gives me lots of ideas for a hunting truck.

Re: Crash's 1988 Land Cruiser Build
Update
It has been too cold to work on the front bumper for a while now. Hopefully it will warm up soon and we can get back on it. I took another trip to Shreveport last week in the Land Cruiser. Great trip, my mileage has dropped a little since my last trip there. I averaged 16.3mpg on this trip as opposed to 18+mpg on the first trip. I blame the decrease on several items; added weight – front and rear bumpers, bigger wheels and tires, spare tire, etc.. and I drive the crap out of it now. I had one 200 mile stretch of road (turnpike and interstate) that I did in 2 hours and 20 minutes… 85mph average. All I know is that I am happy with the performance and the mileage. Over 11,000 miles since the swap.. all is well.. I decided to add some modern touches to the Land Cruiser. I decided to add remote door locks. This really is an easy job on a FJ62 since it already has power door locks. I searched Craigslist and find a couple of new systems in the $40-$50 range, I also find a Viper 5901 system that offered what I wanted and much more at a really great price. Security, remote start, and remote door lock functions. It is not an easy install; it took me about 4 hours start to finish. I am very pleased with it. I installed the control box on the driver’s side kick panel. We use the remote start more than we thought we would. http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...127_172219.jpg I also started on refurbishing the entire brake system. Starting at the back, I installed new wheel cylinders, hardware, shoes, and drums. http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...117_123841.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...117_132509.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...117_143512.jpg New braided stainless brake hoses http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...117_143521.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...117_143533.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...117_145820.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...117_145831.jpg I also installed a new brake booster – 94 4Runner non/ABS. It is a about an inch larger and has greater assist as compared to the original. http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...127_093121.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...127_093134.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...127_093154.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...127_134952.jpg Today I ordered new master cylinder, rotors, pads, and calipers. That should finish out the brake system. Besides the brakes I will be working hard this month to get the bumpers completely finished including the rear basket, license plate mounting, rear camera mounting, and front lights, winch, etc… Sometime in April are May I plan on installing a rebuilt 4l60e to replace the $250 craigslist special I am running now. It works fine, but I think I have a little slippage in 3rd gear at high rpm’s.. Doesn’t happen often, but sometimes I feel the urge This summer I will start to gather the body parts and new weather-stripping and seals to start on the body work this fall/winter. |
