The two axles painted and ready to roll in place under the frame.

Wow, sway bar in the rear?, never though there was a sway bar on any of the 40 serie trucks....my Bj42 doesn't have one, must be a 45 LWB thing.

Unfortunately your front leafs are too short, i doubt even with the weight of the engine that shackle will get verticale. Keep a eye on that, if the shackle are not near verticale the ride will be stiff.

Interesting Mind Set
Interesting mind set. I just finished a 6,000 mile run across the USA; 3,500 miles on the gps plotted Trans America Trail. The mind set which comes with running this predominately dual sport motorcycle trail is more, "Damn the conditions, I'm going thru!"
Familiar with 3rd world. I was a Peace Corp Vol several hundred years ago and have been on foot throughout most of Central and South America.
Older and hopefully wiser, I am now just dipping my toe into "overlanding" and expedition travel.
My recent trip was done in a stock '01 Jeep Wrangler Sport and I rarely used my 4x4. I had no wench to pull me thru a single 1/4 miles section that turned me back and my 30" A/T tires only failed me once... on ice.

Hope to do a ritual at the Titicaca lake lateron.
Yep..
The weight [3.000 kilos] will set it all Okay, I will show you when it gets to that...
Asia saw more 4x4 action for us. Jungle, rainforest and rivers. But remote Brazilian spots and snow in the Andes got there share as well. But these things are rare and it is not a ever lasting 4x4 battle for us, but our way of living and transportation. Like said before, we drive roads, but we aren't afraid of adventure like the Dakar dune trails in Chili....

The raised part of the roof is going to be in coffee.
The tire carrier and asorts are being painted.
The raised section is getting attached.
Alex is getting the wheels off. The rims are getting sanded and painted.
I am trying to get the stainless steel bumper shiny and to mount the tow hooks and winch.
Getting some more protective asphalt paint on the inside.

Karin-Marijke buys some new brake shoes for the rear.
And I am cleaning the adjustment system. Funny In my book they show as two with different directional threads. I have two similar turning ones.
Karin-Marijke cleaned and varnished the floor and is preparing to install it again. How convenient like this without the roof.
Let's have a look. How was it again?
Another view of La Paz.

Coen - are the automatic or manual adjusting rear brakes? Make sure you have the correct ones if they are automatic adjusting. If you have one threaded the wrong way, it will LOOSEN the adjustment rather than tighten as they wear. Perhaps one of LC gurus here on the Portal will chime in (I am just a lowly Jeep guy . . .

Hey Jim,
These are the manual adjusting types. So maybe the automatic ones are the ones that are mirrored?

Coen-I would have guessed that they were manual adjusters as the "teeth" on the star wheel are square, rather than angled or "saw tooth" shaped. The auto adjusters would be mirrored, typically. Again, I am not a Toyota expert. With your manual units I would not worry either way.
Have you worked out the tank switching schema yet?
