A bit of an overdue update. The cruiser has had a busy year doing a few moab trips, a Death Valley Roadtrip with @LC4LIFE and @ExpoMax , and the month of August, finally got to do a bucket list trip. Alaska. My dad and I took a month off and...
Running around the Moab area. On the way down Shafer Trail I heard the dreaded"click..click" of the birfs. 😭😦 Anyone around the Moab area up for a little knuckle rebuilding party? 😋🤗 It just started.. would you suggest a new one or is it...
And what problem is this solution going to address?
The 80 valve cover has metal ridges that bottom out on the head so as to compress the gasket 'just enough'. So, once the valve cover has metal to metal onto the head, I'm not sure what the...
This has been used before. It can be used on the front with a bit of a big hammer too.

I have used Wavian for decades for fuel and plastic Scepter cans for water. Both pretty much set the standard for their intended uses.

We are on the Ferry from Skagway Alaska to Bellingham. We did not make it to Anchorage like we were orginally hoping to. My dad got tired of the long days of driving and wanted to slow down the pace. Alaska is a big state! From Colorado to...
Hi folks!
First off, I have to make a confession. I don't actually own an 80 series (yet...) - I'm a 100 series guy that makes & sells all sorts of 3D printed accessories for the 100 series platform. It's a blast, and I love meeting people at...
So the first samples of the intake adapter arrived today. The castings look great. A small issue with mounting them and a larger issue with plumbing them.
Mounting issue was from the counter bores for the hollow dowels needs to be 7/16”. I...
First few days into the roadtrip to Alaska with my dad. So far camped in Jackson, Big Sky, Whitefish, Radiant BC, and today went through Banff and Jasper. So far so good!
AFAIK no one has done it yet as the rubber seal is not available as a separate part.
There are a few methods to help the original seal work better.
Try a search in this forum for "leaking sunroof seal" and read a few threads, been discussed a...
Cheaper than $27 for the cap and the gear to repair 1 seat? Personally I'm happy to pay a land cruiser community member that and more for taking the time to perfect not only the design replication, but also the materials used. Now if it was like...
I ran the Dobs yellow shocks for years with OME Heavies and it was definitely better than the OME yellow shocks. Given that, I’d bet the IMS would be pretty nice.
Looking at the website, it appears that it plugs into the POWER MAIN RELAY socket as it is shown mounted in the left kick panel. So everything downstream will be getting the boosted voltage (sunroof and widows). As you stated, it's not going to...
Since we'll apparently never see the sun again, in CO, here are detail photos under better fluorescent lighting (I'll still add some pictures in the sun, someday). Now that it's back together, and the roof rack and windshield are hiding some of...
