Today I put US license plates on my HZJ77! I brought it back from Japan and I have to say this is a major accomplishment for me. About a fifteen years ago I fell in love with 70 series Land Cruisers but figured I'd never have one as an...

Also, finally recharged the A/C system after replacing most of the major components (see earlier posts). I've never really done any a/c work until this truck, so fortunately, there are several good videos about it. Anyway, the system held a...

Is it just me, or is time moving faster every year?? 🤔 Too many projects, not enough time. BUT - I like to prioritize family, so we took the family camping(glamping?) 4 hours away to a waterslide and theme park for a week. I also took the...

I just got back from the Solid Axle Summit in Ouray Colorado. I pulled this ~3,400 pound trailer through Utah and Colorado mountain passes for 640 round trip miles. I averaged 17.4 miles per gallon. Combined GVW for truck and trailer is ~9,000...

Finally installed the 100 ft synthetic cable I bought. It really did not want to spool in properly until I got a lot of turns on the drum.

@NJ KZJ78 Yep that shouuuuuld solve your problem. removing the little plate can be frustrating as you dont have a ton of room to work with in there while the throttle body is still on the truck. the valve rotates up (as shown in the photo...

@NJ KZJ78 I responded over on your thread

***Edit*** I would like to change the tires. Currently it has MT 285/75/16s on 9 inch rims. I would like to bring it down to 265/76/16 but I think that might be too narrow of a tire. Does anyone know where I can order rims for a 70 series? I...

More dogs! BTT Dirty Ol’ Hippie is my co-pilot.

Long day yesterday but much progress made. Floor patch is back in. I’m having a devil of a time with blow through, most likely due to gaps that are too large. I’ve ordered some welding spoons that will hopefully help. Inner rocker is welded in...

No sure if its 70 build. More like kitchen cabinet. Been working on the ‘built in’ National Luna fridge and countertop. I want the counter to be an integral part of the fridge top so when it’s closed we have a semi continuous surface. Routed...

Daaaaaum! That 13B Cool

Spotted this 70 at the beach today.

Took a small work trip, 1.5 hours down the interstate then backroads on the way home. On the trip she rolled 560,000kms As for the temps on the trips: Interstate - 70mph, slight tailwind, 78F, 2400rpm Water temp 187F EGT - 800ish...

Insulator block. I think more for sound than heat... Mine is gone on a 1HZ.

Right below the oil filter? Check that sucker first.

And here we are in 2025. This truck lives outside and the soft top has taken a beating from the Texas sun. The vinyl windows have clouded and I’ve got a tear in the passenger side flap. It’s still my favorite thing I’ve ever done to a cruiser.

there are many things I want to get to - as I'm a bit of a perfectionist. but the good news is it's the neato cool stuff, not the essentials. it runs great, AC works, starts every time, it stops, hauls stuff and I love it. Big thanks for the...

just photos for now. less than a week. i've been exhausted all of july. sleep in september. --r

First fit of the galley frame. I can easily pick it up without the fridge.

Made more room for my HZJ74 in my garage!.....It fit before but its roomier now....To accomplish this I actually sold something....Sold this '67/68 Dormobile.....Call me a flipper, we only owned it for 27 years....Hmmmm, on closer inspection my...

I just got another batch in for aluminum door cards for the rear doors for 70 series . These fit all rear 7x doors , doesn’t matter if it is a 70,71,73,74,75,76,77,78 or 79 , if it has rear doors these will work . They are made out of 0.125 (+3...
