That was the plan with my Cruiser as well, retire it from daily driving duty and get something faster and more efficient, but I now just want another Land Cruiser or 2 to keep it company lol... That 62 looks great, so many have been beaten off road. When you say etched, what did you use? I do a pretty good job of cleaning my frame rails and wheel wells all year and once a summer and anytime its been off road, I drop the spare down and steam everything and make sure there is nothing hiding, but would like to take it a bit further.

Run some seafoam through the tank and it might improve mpg and performance a bit. Works great on gas engines definitely

I used the POR metal etch. It gives the POR something to bond to. It works really well on actual rust but on my truck, since there wasn't any, I had to etch the metal to give the surface texture for the POR to bond to.

Seafoam was the first thing I did when I bought it. It makes a difference but not as much as a good baselining. Plugs, filters, fluids, etc.

Thanks! BTW if your not on IH8MUD, its a great place for info and advice on these trucks. (include heater hose T's in the baseline) They don't seem to be recommended by dealer techs, but they become brittle over time. They are cheap and easy to change.

Yup I am on IH8MUD and have been an avid member since buying my truck. Heater-t's were one of the first things I did when I bought it after reading a few threads.

It is a great resource though! Lots of helpful people and lots of good information.
