All buttoned up - ended up welding the ball-joint since there was already a v-band for the 2.5" downpipe I had prior. Nice and tidy, and now it's only the header gasket and the v-band for the whole exhaust...a nice cleanup from all the possible...

A recent update from @greenEFSI had me thinking about my little ones and my cruisers. I have hundreds of photos of my kids and I enjoying cruisers, but for some reason this one hit me the other day. This is from maybe 2005 or 2006, I'd have to...

Lot of work over the past few weeks! Identified all the loose wires on the driver-side of the engine-bay harness. It was a rats-nest in there, and I needed to find out which wires were used for the carb cooling fan (luckally the plug was still...

We did the Alpine Loop in 6 hours. We pulled out at 3 pm. I got on 550 and called Red and she told me she needed a couple more hours to finish her work so I decided to hit a short trail to Silver Basin @woody told me about yesterday. Short and...

The cutting brake feature on a 200 is legit and I made some Jeep guys eyes explode with it today

From the pass down we ran into a bunch of Cruisers coming up and had to wait about 30 minutes. *gripe hat on* If you venture onto a one-way section of trail with 15* vehicles, run it tight. Don't have 300 yard gaps. *hat off* We jumped...

Lake City was a cool town. We got there about noon but no one wanted to stop so we rolled into Engineer. Traffic picked up some but it was not bad until we hit the pass

We got going and started on Cinnamon Pass. We were early and there was no trail traffic to speak of. Beautiful trail. Feels like the Scottish highlands a bit on the west side.

I’m usually in the 80s section, but figured I’d hop over here for once. I wouldn’t even have a Land Cruiser if it weren’t for my dad—he bought his ‘79 brand new and daily drove it everyday until the mid-2010s. Growing up, I remember riding...

I hooked it south into Governors Basin with a side track through Sidney Basin clockwise. I had to use the magic Crawl on a couple of spots on that optional loop. Recommend. I made it almost to the furthest mine and the bottom fell out of...

After I got out I hooked a left and went to the top of Yankee Boy Basin. Plenty of traffic but it thinned out a ton once the trail got hard at the top

Toyota part number for the LX integral hitch receiver torx head bolts is: 90148-12003 These will fit the built-in receiver crossmember in the face of the rear bumper, not the aftermarket style hitch that bolts on below the frame.

It was quite the saga tracking one of these down, much different beast than a cruiser. These were work trucks that were typically beat hard and put away wet. The ones that are left are either rusty, going for outrageous money, or both. I lost...

Installing the Pressure Switches The pressure switches require an M10x1.25 thread to screw into the chassis. I wanted switches on the driver door, passenger door and the passenger-side ambulance door (my tire carrier is on the driver side). I...

Well, it's in seconds, not hours...but it does track engine runtime apparently. This is via the laptop software, I'm not sure if there's a page that shows it on the handheld. I've got about 3000 miles on mine now, so apparently I averaged...

Ready for test fit. I ordered this 6 way sealed connector for the rear chassis harness connection. I need a few other 6.3mm bodies to replace a few originals that are kind of rough. I added a charge light relay that will turn on the brake...

@SipLife’s new ride. Off Pops wallet:). Making his own plays. Incoming. It will get some spa time at the elf barn before he takes it to San Antonio.

Making progress. Rebuilt the fuel pump courtesy of kit from @red66toy

Found it!

May Allah brings this place to Saudi’s highways

Almost done with the harness

Last couple of tools.

The tools.

Didn't think I'd ever run across one in my lifetime, but sometimes funny things happen. The bag is composed of the same canvas-on-vinyl material that Toyota's tool rolls of the era were made of (see previous post). The tools are exactly as...
