Thanks 1uz4runner! It was cool running into you today. Thanks for stopping and saying hi! That's the best part of this community.

Thanks Scott!!

Thanks! Purchased the carpet from Stock Interiors. Been happy with it so far. -JCruise

The most recent project I tackled was re-doing the fender flares. Michael's video on Youtube was quite helpful in my rebuild: https://www.overlandbound.com/fender-flare-repair-supplies/ The previous owner had removed the rear fender flares as one of the ends had broken off. I had to figure out...

This past May I purchased a 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80. It already had an arb front bumper, safari snorkel, lift, and 35s. Here's a link to my build thread, so far just cosmetic updates and mechanical work...

Just started one not too long ago. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/family-build-1994-fzj80-land-cruiser.13056/ Also, we might be moving to SD this fall assuming all the plans work out. Might see you around!

Just before Thanksgiving this past fall, we took the Cruiser out to the Outerbanks, NC and stayed in a beach house that was only accessible by beach with a 4wd vehicle. It was pretty awesome. Had wild horses running around everywhere as well! Got some cool Overlanding gifts for Christmas...

Thanks for the reply. I look up stuff on ih8mudd frequently. It’s a huge time saver. Regarding the seam, I’ll have to check if I layered the carpet correctly. I did notice the small studs poking up from the floor boards. The carpet I purchased has rubber backing and with both layers I do not...

Dude, sick rig! I ultimately decided on getting an 80 series, but I prefer the classic look of the 60 series especially once they are lifted.

On our way back from Uwharrie Natl. Forest, I noticed that the radiator was about on it's last legs. When I got home I ordered a replacement OEM radiator of the ol' interwebs and had it shipped home. Later that week my wife was driving the cruiser as her car was in getting a new starter...

Next, I patched the matching rust hole on the left rear quarter panel (that I accidentally discovered by pushing my hand through from the inside of the truck). I eventually figured out (a few months later) that the trim pieces under the rear sliding windows have small gaskets that eventually...

That’s good to know. The a/c works great so far...but good to know which coolant to put in it when the time comes.

At the risk of sounding stupid and wanting to ask in conversation vs. spend time on google, what does "R12 and R134" refer to?

The next upgrade, was installing carpet. The previous owner had removed the carpet and sprayed down bedliner. Wanting comfort over function we decided to reinstall the carpet. Below you'll see before and after pictures with the seats removed. I forgot to take a picture of this step, but prior to...

So one of the first upgrades I did was install this cup holder from BH3D printing that my mother-in-law purchased off of Etsy. Next, I repaired a rust hole that was above the exhaust pipe on the lower quarter panel. (Top, before: Bottom, after). For never having worked with fiberglass...
