I’m sure we wouldn’t be the first Bob!

I have a sneaking suspicion that I need to continue to fiddle with my carb. Thanks for this post, gives me some things to chew on.

After my recent 4x4 adventure and a few trips down the highway I had enough data to calculate my fuel ahem economy.... It's not great. 10mpg was the figure I came up with. I know I don't quite have my carb dialed in since fixing the accelerator...

And….. you have an entire community of cruiser heads behind you helping you solve cruiser problems.

Still think a wrench woulda worked 😂 Congrats. Keep going. These little wins are what makes wrenching on these cruisers addicting.

@Racer65 are you making the outer felts as well?

I’m so excited to not have my windows rattle like crazy on gravel roads.

Zero difference. Just went out and pulled these. I was in the process of recreating these but might put a hold on my makeshift production and wait for yours @Racer65 Production Nov. 77’ My apologies for the crude measuring device I can’t find...

Put a wrench on it. 14 or 17mm

Punxsuatawney Phil was wrawng!

No Pig/Toyota content here. Just personal remembrance. Skip at will. —- Just found out that an old friend I’d lost track of, Bill von Hagen, died back in 2022. Bill was the focus of the groundbreaking 1980 documentary "Debt begins at...

Well I pulled Marge out today and spoke sweet nothings in her ear for a bit before I jumped under her dash. Disconnected the battery and pulled the gauge cluster out. Dug around for quite a bit before I found the correct connection for the brake...

Painting pictures is work too... need sometimes a lot hours. I still use the old red 45 for Art-works '(°p°)' > first published today @ #740 Happy Easter too all .

Fuse is good. Checked that first. Great pics Bob you are a better photographer than me. I’ll dig into the dash and find the other end of the plug. Hopefully it still exists.

Much appreciated Bob and Matt! Love this community!

I got a 78! I'll look today and take picture 😉

Thanks @RUSH55 i got a better idea where to look when I crack Marge open again.

Yah that’s a horrible picture. My photography skills need improving. I’m going to have time to try and tackle this over Easter weekend. Does the loose plug in my picture from the break light switch plug into the fuse block? That’s what I’m...

Round these parts, all of the available stations are bought up by the same religious entity when they come up for sale. My friend was at one point running a low power FM and couldn't get a license to increase the power because all of the...

If I’m gonna have to pull the cluster I might as well work on getting the radio @ToyotaMatt provided installed. Electrical…..yikes.

I think I figured out why Marge’s brake lights don’t work. I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed this before… should be fun to try and figure out what the PO did. He had what appeared dang near everything rewired behind the dash. No clue why they...

It looks like the Intake valves and the earlier Exhaust valves are available. I get discontinued on the later Exhaust valves. I didn't do an exhaustive search though. 13711 VALVE, INTAKE 13711-60021 6 13711A SEAL OR RING, O(FOR...

Are OEM Toyota valves still available? My searches are turning up a big fat no but you guys always seem to have sources I’m not looking at.

@Midgainc rebuilt my hinges. Should have time to actually put them on Marge in the next couple weeks. They look beautiful. Sorry no help in terms of where to source parts if you want to do it yourself.

Just a FYI I just finished getting the doors on and have been fighting w the old rubber to get the windows to roll up without a floor jack. Gave up and took it to the window wizard. I had bought the rear door fixed window rubber on ebay as well...
