Yes, Proffitt's, well documented.

$15K on "12HT rebuild" could be a bit misleading, though unintended. Looks like I spent $13,170 to have the engine removed, rebuilt, then re installed. Plus another $1,722. to have the injection pump rebuilt. ( documented on another receipt) I recon I should move this post over to the 60 series...

The shop was named Stoney's at the time. Albert Tempro was running the show. Albert is a very talented and knowledgable Land cruiser specialist, I wish him the best. Dirk

To me the value of the truck is more than the sum total of the effort and receipts. Which is why we do this, we value the rig more than the money. Which is fine until you have to justify it to another, convince someone else to value it the same way you do. I got to the stage with this 60...

I am interested in sourcing a Troopy, FZJ or HZJ 75 or 78. I am most interested some type of trade deal, looking for someone who recognizes the value of the time, effort and quality that has gone into this LC and wants to offer a Troopy, completed or potential, of comparable value. 6/2011 -...

Fuel - Napa Gold 3393. Oil Napa Gold 551627 ( new PN# 1627)

asking price?

I'll take a thru-hole board when it's ready, thanks

BINGO! A clogged crappy little $5 inline filter on the fuel tank. Change the paradigm! ALL of you who participate in the troubleshooting process in these forums are invaluable! Thank you and God Bless.

I replaced the hand pump with a (Bosch) spare that I had, no change. The fuel lines from the filter to pump are crimped with banjo fittings. Is the "nozzle leakage pipe a fuel return line? Should I be able to bleed the system there, or should I try where the fuel enters the injector. I agree it...

Unfortunately, I read the FSM "AFTER" changing the fuel filter. I definitely introduced a lot of air into the system. The truck runs fine around town but when I accelerate on the highway the engine will sputter and loose power. I have bled the filter as per the FSM, no change. I have attempted...
