The terminals release from the fuse box fairly easily, you need to have a pick to release the lock tabs. They make tools specifically for this, I’ve always has good luck with a small flat blade precision screwdriver. There’s some good info on...
@Gun Runner 5 it's a 1995 Subaru Sambar. The only 4 cylinder kei truck variant I believe....5 speed, push button T case, crawler low gear, and A/C. It's the perfect little ranch truck. I just taught my 10 year old daughter how to drive it...
I owned this truck several years ago- it's actually the first land cruiser I ever drove back in 2013. @stridertexas has owned it TWICE - I bought it from him around 2019.
Under my ownership I replaced the driver's side knuckle and did a...
As you can see, that rear hoop is used. I’d be surprised if you get the pieces that go above the doors. I think I was the last person to get them as they can’t find them used.
The other bars are fairly easy to replicate as they are basically...
1990 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 is powered by a 3F-E linked with a five-speed manual transmission (H55) and a 34mm transfer case from an FJ60 (manual linkage and not vacuum transfer).
The truck has been in Central Texas its whole life, except for...
A lot of thread drift in this tech discussion. Car is in US now, so importation issues are for another thread. It is clearly a H15x transmission as ID by case and t case.
TIG welding the transfer case plug is best solution. Transfer rear case...
And Onur, I rode a Kona Fire Mountain (my first MTB!) fully rigid that I converted to fixie back in the late 90s… I found a magic gear that worked with the vertical dropouts and it was something like 46 x 17 on the hilly streets of Pittsburgh...
I have 99% finished a monstercross build on a frame that I’ve had for over a decade. It started life as a single speed 29er, someone cut it for a belt drive, and I’ve ridden it as a belt drive, a drop bar monstercross, 1x11 mountain bike, and now...
I wanted to share a set of "enhanced" repair manuals I've been compiling. If you're Type-A like me, these will hopefully help make your life easier by better organizing everything so you spend less time searching for the info you need.
These are...
New glow plugs (24v iteration):
New fan shroud:
New fan and fan clutch from @cruiseroutfit :
New engine mounts:
And correct frame mounts. The old 3B/13B-T frame mounts will be cut off and these will be welded in. What I like...
Guilty. I have been hesitant to sell in case something happened to my IC and i needed to be able to run it w/o or if I sold motor, but I also don’t like someone out there hung up for lack of pipe. Shoot me a DM, maybe you can talk me out of it.
FYI, I’ve installed one of the 5 into our 60 with 500000 miles to replace a 13Bt that my great friend @orangefj45 installed 20 years ago. The thing is a beast. You put it in 5th gear and can tow a train climbing the sierras. I’m getting 25 mpg...
So stoked we got to spend some time together over the weekend and I got to see this project in person.
Can’t wait to see it run, super excited for you Alberto!!!!!
