Why the new doors?
OEM or the new chinese aftermarket ones ?
I am even later to the party... on my VZ pile of bolts, I had to just pull down as hard as possible to pop it in low. Pushed out easy... I was told to not be shy!Hello,
I am late to the party.
Normally, you just depress the clutch pedal, shift to H4 then pull gently. A click tells you that you are in N. Keep the pull and move the lever, gently. Another click confirms you are in L4.
It is safe to say that the PO seldom, if ever, drove in 4WD. The PO did not clean the drive train either.
If the lever is hard to move, then the links need lubrication. Your photos show dirt on them. Brush it away, apply some WD-40 and let it penetrate for a while. Then try again.
Once the lever shifts properly, apply more lubricant on the links.
Hope this helps.

Looks Ike it has some nice, big drain holes in the lower panels to help with drying it outView attachment 3593350View attachment 3593351Spring is in the air , time to scrub that 70 inside out
I cut that one in there so the risk of contracting the hanta virus is lower when I start on the repairLooks Ike it has some nice, big drain holes in the lower panels to help with drying it out
It's in good hands!I cut that one in there so the risk of contracting the hanta virus is lower when I start on the repair
This is the “jadebean” troopy , frame rails where packed with red mud so that was the first thing to get rid off , interior panels where stuffed with it to and all drain holes plugged up .
It is , used to have a 6 ton toyota diesel forklift but got tired of getting that heavy thing stuck in the gravel so I bought this 2 ton on propane , best purchase everthat better be a toyota forklift
Side exit? Ooooh that looks good! Did you get any more shots? Would love to see from offside... What diameter did you go with?Had the muffler man fix my exhaust on frame rail rattle and add a free flow muffler today. iPhone decibel app recorded 88 max on the way there... 70 max on the way home. Should set off fewer car alarms and have less pissed off neighbors now.

At last I found 24 volt instrument cluster with tachometer and differential lock indicator. The shell had a few damages, broken fasteners etc. so it needed some fixing.
The original has too few gauges..
So I disassembled a broken LJ70 instrument cluster and used bits from that, with small changes the LJ70 shell works well.
..and reassembly with new glass. The 12H-T bellhousing has a HJ61 tach sender, believe it will work with tachometer. BJ75 has wiring for the tachometer ready in the harness.
I hope everything works when I get to test it...
I don't know for sure because I haven't installed it yet, but it should be quite easy.. Two wire harness connectors behind the instrument cluster are the same in both, the original and the new instrument cluster, so that should not be a problem. For oil pressure gauge the sender must be changed to different type, currently it is on/off-type switch. I'll know more in a week maybe, when I get to install the cluster to my troopy..What was the work required for getting those gauges to work?
