Springs + Frame Reunite
So I ordered New bushings and pins and shackles for the 40. Went ahead and purchased the greasable kind from $OR because they were a bitch to get off, and figure that this would help in the future. I have put the two front springs back on to check for fit, and currently I am working on rebuilding the axles and differentials. I ordered the parts from Marks Off Road, where Mark specializes in older Land-cruisers. Needless to say he is awesome.
Frame Back from Powdercoat
Leaf Spring Renewal
So after I took everything off the frame, I sent it off to be powder coated, A place in phoenix called APC Powder coat. While that was gone for the week I sanded down the leaf springs and painted them with a anti rust coating, Rust bullet. The Stuff is Awesome. As a final coat I sprayed it with a flat rustoleum black. Turned out pretty well.

Lets Make Her Look Like an Fj
And Thus It Begins
In July 2008 I purchased a 1966 Toyota Landcruiser from a guy in New Mexico and had it shipped to Arizona. Paid $1500.00 for her so this is where the journey begins. This is what she looked like when she was dropped off. Complete with Plow bumper. Since I have reached the turn around point in the build where I am starting to put her back together, I thought it was time to start a blog.
