Sold, for $3500, to a fellow mud member.

No idea.

An earlier model TJM with hi-lift jack points.

This truck does not have a factory roof rack. But I do have one with hardware, as well as a rear diffuser, that I'll give whoever buys this truck. Maybe you can sell or swap it at a cruiser meet.

Here's more pictures

Edit: sold, for $3500. I looked for over a year before I found this cruiser. I REALLY hate to get rid of it, but it has a blown head gasket, and I can't front the money to do the work. I'm going to have to sell it and use the money to buy a cheap daily driver. Maybe I can rejoin the club in...

Did you lose a copper washer from the banjo bolt?

Greasing the caliper slides is usually a fix. I wouldn't buy a new caliper- I'd buy a reseal kit and some caliper grease, and follow the guide here on Mud for resealing the rear caliper.

Thanks to everyone. I got to work this morning at 0605. Got the shaft off tonight around 2000. Simple, but still a pain. The bolts were not terribly tight, as I could take them off without a breaker bar or a mallet. Just hand torque on a midlength wrench. Now, prying the shaft down off the...

I am a living, breathing torture test for this Land Cruiser. But it made it to work today, 35 miles of interstate.

Plain and simple- tools. And dry workspace. We are evidently in the middle of monsoon season here in Georgia, and I have no breaker bar or long wrenches here. At work, I have all of those things, plus all the lighting and dry workspace I need. I guess if it finally breaks free and starts...

So which are the ones that get turned from the bolt side instead of the nut side? Or am I mixing that up?

Ugh. So I got under there to grease my U-joints to possibly ease the rumble. Found the major culprit. The u-joint at the rear of the front driveshaft is broken. Not completely severed, but broken all the same. Going to drive it to work gently to remove the driveshaft. The crossmember under...

I like the center punch idea. What kind of grease is advised for the u-joints and driveshaft zerks?

So, after the awesome destruction that occured inside my transfer case, I definitely need to take care of some other issues that have been nagging for a while. One of those issues is a vibration under my butt upon deceleration, which is most likely due to the previously diagnosed u-joint wear...
