LX models have the tach and cloth door cards. In fact the next one I have coming actually has electric windows and dual tanks.
Again as we all say, there is never a standard with these things. Thousands of variants.
My FZJ70 has this same...
This interior did not take much cleaning thanks to @Meshal ’s crew. I got the plastic out and dynamat laid and back in. A set of @c2dfj45 floor mats to go with his hood prop kit
Took a little break when Red made it home. I made her do an Easter egg search for her birthday presents. While I was hiding her stuff I found one that was missed during the real Easter hunt
Back to work. Fronts installed with extended links...
Someone earlier asked for interior photos. This one is superbly clean. I’m about to add some dynamat to the floors next
This one has a real nice thick headliner versus the 92. It’s quieter in the cab even before the mat.
s*** luck for sure. The previous two trucks came Suez in 43 days.
Hoping my next container that was delayed due to the Iran attack will actually leave on the 25th with a 43 day route.
I normally add 4* to all of my suspensions.
Toyota only has 1* positive caster when everything is perfect.
A leaf spring Chevy Blazer in the 80s had plus 5
Just about anything you do on a 40 will put you in negative caster territory...
That third leaf is usually a target but I left it in the last 75 build and everyone is happy with the way it rides and sits.
Plus both of these guys like using them
Aight. I need to rest up so I can wrestle these old springs out tomorrow
Rear leafs. Removed the two overloads.
Fronts, added some Dobinsons 3* steel shims
I’ve been dreading taking this pallet apart for a week.
The person that wraps these things is clearly the devil. I think they intern at @cruiseroutfit and when they determine they are even too evil for them, Dobinsons sends them to a finishing...
Brendan wanted the best battery. I could not pull the trigger on one too. Just can’t believe what they cost these days. My little 70 is getting the budget battery 😆
the 75 chassis is shorter with short bed an cabin. We get a knocked bed that has clean wall, door and floor. We match it then cut it from the door side then attach the tail lights bracket
Yep. Bill of Sale is your friend; especially with Pickups. Duty rate is only 2.5% on everything else used IIRC.
Nice pickup. They are not easy to find in good condition and 25 years old. Great that you have someone on the ground that you...
Customs doesn’t charge anything but duty. All their secondary inspections, xrays, ect are free. Shipping companies take advantage of this and rake you over the coals in fees.
Dealing with it right now on a couple pallets from Japan. Customs...
Meshal had the original carburator rebuilt and tuned by their local carburator guru. It is slick and runs and cranks perfectly.
But if it ever goes south Brendan has a spare
Check out this OEM beauty
I did not sleep yet!
Nolen!! It is an absolute pleasure working with you in such projects, @BJEC69 Brendan Thank you so much for your trust and patience, it was a pleasure working with you getting your first 75. BTW, I have a new oem radiator...
Those stats measure right for the box in this thing yes. Thanks.
Here are a couple of videos. They did some nice touch up work on the paint and actually put a 79 series bed on it because the original one was a bit too rough. Cheaper to replace...
