Lots of places will receive your goods in Sweetgrass… Montana Shipping Outlet, At the Border Storage, Montana Mailbox. Ive used all three. There is also a service called DYK Post that will pickup your items from Montana Mailbox and bring them up to one of their various their depots. Ive...

It hurts because it's true. I did SO on a BJ60 and BJ74. Never on a SWB 70. I put 100's of Thousands of KM's driving all around North America like that. Lesson learned from Spring Overs. 1). Springs should definitely be Over the axles. 2) those springs should never be leaf springs... They...

As a physicist I say it is a class 2 lever that does work while minimizing entropy. As a meta-physicist, I say it works by bringing order where once there was chaos. you put it over the gear shift retainer. you push down. you turn it. you remove the gear shift. you move forward with life.

I got one of these a few years ago. My quality of life has improved dramatically as a result. https://www.cityracerllc.com/collections/land-cruiser-70-series/products/oem-gear-shift-lever-removal-tool-for-any-toyota

Searching for anyone that is sharing a 3D scan or 3D model of the center control/dash insert for a 61/62. I have my own 3D printer and am looking to print a new dash insert for my personal collection of switches and such. But I am also lazy and don't want to do the hardwork of modeling the...

Rocky Mountain Land Cruiser Club meeting. - Annual General Meeting Atlas Pizza, Calgary.

I have this fantasy of swappioig a modern ZF8HP behind a 13B-T. Those 8HP’s are the go to choice for modern auto swaps. Several aftermarket ecu’s and tuners are available to make them work stand alone. Trivia… that is the transmission in the new Supra.

I also tested the waters with Turo, and not only do they not take anything without a VIN, they don't take anything over a certain number of KM,s and nothing over a certain age. That's three strikes for me. Yet, when I go searching deep in Turo, I did discover a vintage FJ60 for rent in one...

13BT - My 2nd favourite all time engine. a Heavenly match for a SWB 70 series. Excellence, incarnate. 3F. Write your suicide note in advance. You'll thank me by 3rd gear. Now that I think it through, you should probably just go ahead and thank me ahead of time in the note. 1FZ. As...

But before I can put cab's and campers on, I have some essential drivetrain/chassis mods to attend to, even before I decide on how much I need to shorten the frame.. This donor chassis has the 5.9HO Cummins, G56 6 speed manual (the one with the 6.5:1 1st gear), and an NP271HD Transfer Case...

OK Friends, another summer has drifted by. I purged my yard of 5 Land Cruiser pojects that I was never going to get to, as well as 2 other cars. I moved the donor 2005 Ram 2500 chassis into my shop, and put on on the hoist where it is in the way of any other projet. I removed the crew cab...

I built this bumper out of 6061 Aluminum. It's holds a winch. It uses factory tow points bolted through the frame horns. It follows the body lines. It has a subtle hoop that does not disturb illumination of air going to the rad. It leaves lots of clearance for the front tires to drive up...

Is anyone importing complete 1VD-FTE (single or twin turbo) engines for swaps? Is there a recommended source from which to import complete engines, perhaps from Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Easter Island, or Liechtenstein? I want to replace the awesome, but old, frail, rare, and...

Half-heartedly searching for a 70 series tub for a project. I have a 79 Series cab ready to go, but then I got a dog, and now I need a bigger cab (like a 70 series) to fit fido, or to build a kennel behind the 79 cab. Do you got something interensting that is salvagable? Maybe even a 74...

Trick is to be a Canadian (a North North American?). Import them when they are 15 years old. Drive them for a Decade then sell them to a South North America for a huge profit. 2008 VDJ76’s are importable this year.
