Did a little elk scouting today and manual transmission tutoring. Great day to be in the woods. Planning on flipping the springs and removing the top tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Had to jump start and move my daughter’s project 4Runner and my utility trailer, but I pulled it out of the backyard storage and parked it up front to be put in weekend rotation.
So here are some pictures with the 35 and the 33. I’m debating if I should go with a 2 1/2 lift. Or a fender flare. First 2 pictures are the 35 and last 2 the 33. I hate having such a big gap between the wheel well the top of the tire. It doesn’t...
ABSOLUTELY!! How to enter is share your favorite trail snack/ trail meal and this is going to be open until season2 of the podcast begins. It is only here on mud and on Instagram. Pictures of your choice preferable but not necessary. Then on...
Hey y'all. As Land Cruisers do, they tend to multiply. I've had and been working on a 99 LX470 for several years, and through that, got to know my local Land Cruiser group. And, of course, eventually one of those guys had a project truck that...
Dave, 75% of my life goes like that. The only thing I can add is that life does have a way of taking away so many previous options and then age helps you decide which ones were really useless and which truly had merit.
Here’s the rub… age has...
All you guys are awesome. All the info and stories are great.
Not sure if I'll ever get my old 1976 FJ40 I bought in 1978 running again. It's been thru hell basically. Back in 1978 I never thought about it as a Classic. It was just a cool...
No real reason to put these on now other than to get them off my workbench before I break them... considering the condition the vehicle was in when I got it, they are in decent shape
For all of you wanting to follow the Hiace build, the thread is live and I just brung it back from Switzerland: 1992 Hiace 4wd Firetruck - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1992-hiace-4wd-firetruck.1336328/
PS: some new things on the FJ40 are...
I took the block, crank, cam, pistons and connecting rods to a machine shop to get measured for new bearings. Cam bearings, connecting rod bearings, thrust bearings etc. The machinist said that I am probably going to need a new cam because there...
I took the winch off and installed a small 4-rod carrier to the bumper. I’m pretty sure the little B engine is happy with the change cause it’s now hauling less weight and the radiator is getting better air flow.
Been back on the road about a year and half now and finally found some time to install a radio so I get to cruise again with tunes, still have to pinch myself now and then I get to ride in this thing again. Back then Green Day’s Dookie got tons...
Here it is mostly put back together. Hopefully we’ll have it back to running this week? New manifold gasket, new fuel shutoff solenoid, new studs everywhere, new paint everywhere, and carb insulator. This should eliminate all the vacuum leaks so...
