cruiseroutfit's latest activity

Just a teaser for others.

My presence or the lack there of, should never be a factor in deciding to visit. The collection IS the reason to visit...

A few more.

My son and I stopped by Monday morning, we were on our way home to Cali from Grand Rapids Michigan. We were greeted by Jules who was working alone that day, she told us that Dan is RETIRED officially, I guess I miss that deadline somewhere but...

It is pretty rare to see a TLCA sanctioned, club sponsored, non-profit benefit wheeling event going strong after a decade, but this event is an example. It takes a dedicated team (Peter, Sam and Charles) plus clubs, volunteers, sponsors and...

We had a bunch of the flat base signals, they were actually errors as they were supposed to be 40 ones. Let me see if I still have any.

My daughter loved the mega cruisers!!

I managed to visit as well! Was there on the 4th of this month. What a great place to spend time and be checking out land cruisers!

Yes, as did some earlier models 3/69-7/70 7/70-1/75 The 1971 model year is the 44610-60010 ->44610-60030 This was the AISIN made OEM variant, NLA:

I think this is the one you'd be after if you are keeping the auto transmission. Toyota 16400-17031 (1640017031) RADIATOR ASSY - https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/1640017031. The manual one is available too. Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters...

Hola amigo. Aqui tienes el manual para el VM motor. Tengo mas info si lo necesitas ... manuales de carroceria, etc. Tbn tengo un Bj73, pero mi motor VM se murio. Ahora actualmente estoy instalando motor 1KZ-T

Eaton is junk for Toyota diffs. The is the second rear I have had fail. Also the unlocking and non-instant locking is terrible on technical obstacles.

Eaton will soon be producing E Lockers in house for a large variety of Toyota trucks and Land Cruisers. My big question, will the 9.5" units have a larger center section and gears when compared to the Harrop...

Wow! That would be awesome. Before you go to the trouble let me put some calipers on the hole? And . . . I have another question (hoping that its easy to answer . . . Pics to follow. STAND BY.

Agreed. I modify all of mine to take a hitch pin. It won't stop the machine gun auto-ratchet but the handle won't land in the glass :D They come with a cotter pin but it's nice to be able to quickly/easily remove the handle and use it for other...

Hi-Lift + lift mate or Hi-Lift + and a short static strap or endless loop makes a fantastic lifting device for many needs. Not ideal by any stretch for tire removal for obvious reasons BUT in a scenerio where you need a lifting tool AND winching...

Yes. This is the way! On my SOA 60 and 48” hilift, I couldn’t even get a tire off the ground so I got the 60” which made it exponentially more sketchy Then someone showed me the ratchet strap trick before lifting and the rest is history…

Ratchet strap around axle housing to frame, cinch it tight before lift. Heavier the ratchet strap the better IFS can be a bit trickier, but can usually wrap strap around lower arm and above top coil over mount I had a SOA 60 series with gobs...

Hi-Lift states ~175-lbs of force to lift the rated 4660lb, so more like ~165-lbs at 4400lbs (note the top 12" of the 60" are only rated at 2660lbs per Hi-Lift). I think their rating is assuming a pull from the very end of the handle, gaining the...

I was just in my garage playing with my new ARB jack and thinking about lift points. While I was at it, I crawled under to scout ways to strap the axle to the frame before you lift it. Certainly possible but there are brake lines and ABS wires...

Noticed that Cruiser Outfitters is carrying Aisin replacement lock assemblies, good cheaper option for replacing the whole lock actuator vs. OEM and if you don't want to mess with prying open the broken one. Also comes with the cables and a clip...

Personally I think the general distaste for Hi-Lifts by maaaaany is the effort and body placement needed to operate the handle and the danger zone that creates, particularly with a dusty/dirty Hi-Lift with sticky/worn climbing pins. If the goal...

I used BTB’s rear disc kit for the brakes (their GM caliper /non wilwood one) and a rear axle rebuild kit from CruiserTeq. Zero fitment issues with BTB’s kit.

This. The set we use under our sub 4000lb travel trailer (so figure 1000lbs a corner max... and really they are for stabilizing so far less) are already getting pretty beat. I can't imaging what a much larger load would do to them.

Depends on which ones. I tried some Wally World cheapos, and they basically crushed
