I can't believe we are discussing an actual gathering in NE Ohio, the Cruiser Gods will be smiling. It has been many years of loneliness here in Ohio! Hahahaha! I wonder if those wheels would fit on my 40 with my new fancy exhaust, they look...
Hope it warms up a bit. It’s 40f right now. Great to be in Ohio. I’m all in for a party and there’s a rumor that the newest Land Cruiser in Lexus flavor could be lurking and available for a look. I think it should be the first in Ohio. @Jdc1...
Bellhousing for a three speed is required. That should bolt to the to 2F block. What you use for the clutch all have to match the flywheel used.
FYI the 8/80+ bellhousings are not made to use rear motor mounts. They used a crossmember on the...
Physicians are trained to utilize the “differential diagnosis” as a method of determining the cause of a symptom. This approach lists all of the possible causes and seeks to rule out as many as possible to determine the sole cause. Fundamentally...
I'm thinking about getting one of these so I can drive my 40 while waiting for Jim to rebuild my Aisin. Seems as though none of these have provisions for a fuel return line, @estoltman, @Ackcruisers or anyone running a similar carb, are you...
No real reason, I just like to clean off all the gunk that builds up over the winter, and it helps to keep things a little cleaner when I’m underneath working on it.
There may have been more paint that flaked off from the bottom, I need to...
It is, and it's been in need of a rebuild for a few years now. Maybe one day I'll stop driving it long enough to work on that.
Until then it's still time to ski.
It's a completely different rig with the BFGs on it in the snow and ice. It was a white knuckle driving experience up the pass during the winter with the Razrs on, every little patch of snow and ice was a guessing game on which way my cruiser...
I replaced my stock gauges with Autometer short-sweep gauges as per this old thread:
Aftermarket (even mechanical) gauges into STOCK cluster!!! - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/aftermarket-even-mechanical-gauges-into-stock-cluster.289513/...
I also use a cheap ebay cig lighter volt gauge which is handy for my wilson switch, at first volts drop then as glows warm volts rise again then crank, Also lets you know if your batteries are getting enough charge from the alt during a night...
It was just one of those nagging little things... both of the after-market window regulators, the pocket door, and the ash tray face plate were more of a shade of gold rather than OEM pewter. I finally decided to remedy that. They don't hold a...
I have a complete set of ball/spoon axles if you need them, short and long and both fine spline inner, coarse spline outer. If it’s a 69, should have briefs on both axles.
A bakers dozen..
I stopped of at the local Doughnut shop to pick up a dozen individual belt expanders, designated specifically for the Father/Son team working the upholstery on the Mule. I’m currently stacked up in the queue behind a Shelby...
Trust me, I have perspective. I'm going to be blowing somewhere in the neighborhood of $90k on paint and bodywork in seven months.
Man hours aren't free, the good ones even less so.
