Just wrapped up the captains chair middle row mod. I started by moving the bench seat to the rear. Details on that found here: HZJ77 - adding a 3rd row The rear bench still folds forward, so there is still plenty of storage back there. I then bought @FJ73Texas old front row seats from...

I have it now. It's yours if you want it. I ended up doing a massive retrofit instead.

Mine was whining from the junction right at the top of the intake manifold. That gasket had failed as evidenced by oil coming out from the joints. Sounds like you have an exhaust leak though. Exhaust leaks are pretty easy to find by inspecting each joint. Or, you can get crazy and plug the...

That "warning" decal is hilarious.

It had to be trimmed along the entire A-pillar, along the edge that touches the window. I don't remember how much had to be trimmed off. It was just enough to get it to catch under the lip of the windshield rubber seal.

Are you in Costa Rica or the states. In the states, that vehicle will not be legal until just now, 2024. I doubt many have been imported.

This was only possible, because the trans pan was removed. The stick length is based on it stopping at the top when you push it in to its holder at the top of the engine.

Two front, two rear headrests. These will fit 70 or 80 series Land Cruisers. 10mm chrome posts 150mm post spacing Please take note of the notches on the sides of the headrests posts. If they do not match, you can swap the receivers side to side.. Dark, navy blue from a Hilux Surf. The...

Bump. All still available except clutch masters and brake booster. Clutch boosters and pedals all still available.

I just did a manual conversion in my 77. It was a massive undertaking, and I do this for a living. Parts from like seven different countries. I'm glad I did it. But I'm not sure I would do it again. You can see the full details in my signature.

So damn awesome.

Doesn't the little fuel filter pumper thing fill up the lines manually? I always do that when changing the filter, and it cranks up pretty quickly. But good point on the extended crank filling up the oil galleys for you. That would work great.

Yuck. I'm sure you did this already, but clean that thing off. All that oil in the connector will cause all sorts of problems. Hopefully the oil did not wick too far up into the harness. All that oil in the harness would also make the dash light both intermittent and ambient temperature...

Send a picture to these guys. Usually costs $120 per connector with pigtails already attached. It's a lot, but they make it plug and play. https://connectorexperts.com/

That's a great point. A good steering dampener does more masking of a deeper problem in the suspension, but it's not the real root cause.
