Anyone built a top removal rig using one of the harbor freight electric winches or hoists? I'm thinking of rigging something up so it can be done with a single person.

I use the same lift system for my Jeep JL Hardtop

Is that a 10' ceiling?

Too bad I live in an old house with 8' ceilings. I just don't think I could ever use a system like this in my garage. It looks like the perfect solution though.

I haven't measured it but I would guess 10'. I just moved in about 2 months ago.

You live in Houston? I see an antique sage 40th 80 pretty regularly in the Spring Branch area. I don't remember if it has a bumper or not.

Big shout out to CP. He's been my sounding board for the past few months of shopping and I would have bought several pieces of **** without his guidance.

The truck was restored by Wimberley 4x4 around 2009. It was one of the last trucks out of that shop before Daniel's brother passed away and he later sold the business to Proffitt's. It was daily driven for a while right after that, but saw less and less use as the years went on. The owner had the vehicle way overpriced online with bad pictures and a poor description so I knew he wasn't getting traction. I shopped it anyways and it turns out he is starting a business and needed cash. I learned the history on it and had another cruiser guru friend look it over and drive it with me. Then we negotiated way down to a realistic number and closed the deal. The body is solid, paint is great except for the hood and passenger fender, and it is mechanically sound. But there is still a long list of small fixes to keep me busy and there is plenty of room to make it my own. I didn't grow up working on vehicles and my cruiser friends tell me 40s make a hero mechanic out of anyone. I feel like this was a better route for me to go than a truck half the price that needed four times the work. I've had it less than a day and can't stop driving it. I'll do a thorough cleaning and detail soon and post up better pictures.

The only thing I saved you from was that one polished turd in El Paso. It has been a pleasure to follow along with you while you very judiciously sorted through A LOT of Land Cruisers. I always said you had good judgement and when you found the right one at the intersection of your expectations and budget it would be THE ONE. I was right; congratulations.

That said.... #twinning is #winning Green40's FTW.

Thanks

Originally a Houston rig, then went to VA for a couple years where the owner put on a 2.5" OME lift, BFG KO2's,removed the luggage rack, added blue fan clutch, new sunroof, new plugs, fluids, stainless steel brake lines, and some other stuff.
Then I bought it from him off Mud
shipped it here, complete paint job, removed rear spoiler, rebuilt steering gear box (drives like a new one did in 97) new Katzkin leather for all 3 rows, new AC compressor & drier, ARB non winch bumper, new steering wheel, and a lot of other minor electicial tweeks.
Runs 85mph no problem.
Still need to add new head unit with back up camera and speakers.

Polished turd in El Paso? I'm interested

What about the USPS truck in NM?

Looks great RedDog. I'll post mine when I pick it up later in the month.

CP said he would organize an FJ meet up in CS for an Aggie baseball game. You in?

paint was a lot, not a concourse job but not a Maaco one either. If you ever have to repaint one $4-7k.

My daughter bought a late model 4Runner but lacks leather. Someone told me I should look into these. I plead ignorance, these are quality to hold up for the life of the vehicle? Do they go on over the factory seats or do you have an upholsterer replace the original seat cover?

these replace existing seat covers even if cloth, an upholstery shop should install them for best results. I'm not tough on my seats and I see no reason they would not hold up well. If your daughters 4runners seats are flattened out also spring for new foam.

They're next to new. That's why I asked about the longevity. She's not pushing, I should probably wait until they get some use/wear on them... then replace closer to the time I buy it from her!

I've been told these drive a lot like a buck board wagon and the steering is so loose that you might as well not have a steering wheel.

Beautiful.


I meant your dogs, but I love your Landcruiser too. I just have a big soft spot for Golden Retrievers.

My DD is a '16 KR F150 FX4. This is exactly what I wanted.
