Been gathering parts for a little something-something that rhymes with automatic to manual transmission conversion. Something super new, something forever borrowed, something hella old or however the saying goes. On the hunt for the plastic MT...

What is this, a winch for ants?

oh dear sweet jebus.... the double cabs and 76's😍 If i could just get my swerve on in the RHD seat id already have one

Whistle and soot extractors manifold/turbo set up for 12HT Not 70 related but interesting. 80series chassis, 60 series body mounts and LS3. Stretched 40series

A couple of imports.

Speaking to the girl who owns and built this green Bundera modified the roof off a Suzuki. Did the rust and paint work herself as well.

Called on the local Landcruiser show just up the road after picking up some rear light globe sockets for my camper trailer build. Photo dump - 1/3 of the photos were just Landcruiser’s in the parking lot.

what, did they run out of 'N' stencils....

Yeah that’s the plan. The oil definitely can travel while driving so I’ve been watching it but nothing definitive so far. The easier is the sump like you stated. Needs done either way. If that solves it, the we are good. The only doubts...

A lot of guesswork there mate. Why wouldn’t you fix the sump leak first? (The easier job) My bell housing looked exactly like that and it was leaking from one bolt on the filter bracket mount, dripping onto the top edge of the oil pan and the...

Could you use a Speedi Sleeve on the rotating part the rear seal rubs against? A leak similar to this is common on MGB’s and speedi sleeves are often used. Is there a super seal of the right size like Marlin Crawler’s Eco Seal?

Someone has a lot of money!!!

gotta be 'that guy' eh 'just give me another axle mate'

Few little tweaks to the '77 before a short camp trip. Swapped all the rear door hinges out for those German stainless steel ones. Smooth stuff. Using the old '77 hinges on the '73 half door project. Then I added an accumulator tank to my...

I started running the wiring in preparation for registration then realised I really should have the body at least primed and tidy. To keep things simple I’ll leave the lid and front box off as the inspection centre and registration criteria works...

Finished up 4 days at Devil's Kitchen.

If you only fill to 1/4 or 1/2 a tank on a regular basis the variable resisters in the sender unit can scale over a bit and not read properly until they are cleaned. When the fuel empties out and reaches 1/4 of a tank does the gauge then move...

Summer flew by here! Last topless hoorah beer a couple weeks ago... ... then a few more beers and buddies and the FRP was back on. Then I promptly stripped the Prado half doors and dropped them off at a small body shop. Picked them up last...

Think it will be cheaper and easier (on me) to now drop them off at a Maaco or small body shop and let them bondo, sand, paint. What a pain in the messy a$$. But you can't into the hole anymore.

Finished the door and quarter panel sound deadening project over the weekend. It was a slow process and LHS (passenger) door was the last to do. Not sure if I'll do the floors or not. It still has all the factory stuffs in good condition. Seals...

Finally getting around to changing out my my rear leaf spring bushings. Well over due. F*** those things 🤣 Going to give these fancy things a try. This is the rear bushing kit available from Terrain Tamer USA/Valley Hybrids, thanks @orangefj45

First off, it was great to be able to host both of them on this awesome trip they are doing. I'll let @theglobb share better and more photos on his thread and social media, but we had a great time. That troopy is awesome. All the works he's...

I was sitting in the FJ62 during that shoot.
