pretty sure the plug one is the one you care about? But I gave you both the mold and the tool I used to create the mold ( aka plug )
Sounds like you already know what your doing so I would be interested to know what material your going to use...
@sleepydad69 I do the same and try to keep learning. I will probably take your model and add a little bit so they squish for a good seal. From the picture I saw it looked pretty flush.
I will make them in Tpu with a hardness of 95. It's a...
UPDATE: I replaced the VSV this morning, let it idle for 20 minutes, them drove around the neighborhood with no issues.
Thanks @FJBen and all the others that helped me figure this out.
70s and all Landcruisers… every oil change (~3000 miles) I also grease the drivelines. Eventually the bottom of my rigs have a layer of black dry grease. Over the years it accumulated to a massive amount. I figured to tackle it with high...
I found used 12 volt LJ78 amplifier and this BJ75 is 24 V, so I had to add a couple of 24 volt relays to get the ac control working properly. The troopy has also 12 volt system for camper use, which I used to power the amplifier.
After pressure...
Finally I have working ac in my troopy. Had to look for parts from many source, but hardest part was probably the hoses and specially fittings. I wanted to use Toyota's original cooler unit, amplifier and dashboard controls. Compressor, codenser...
@Outsane
I think maybe I have a set left... pretty sure I have the .STL files laying around someplace.

In!
Hey. You seem to be pretty deep into the 3D printing thing. Consider making a plug to fill the gaping hole when you convert E hubs to manual?
@sleepydad69 made some for his project. I don't think it's something he plans to produce for...
G’Day Lad’s & Ladett’s
Firstly just wanted to introduce myself…
My name is Sam and I live in Gold Coast Australia. I am the owner of a 1996 FZJ75R Troopy named Lenny. This is my first ever Landcruiser/Troop project. It has the 4.5 1fz-fe petrol...
You need the following parts for a SWB LJ70:
Main weatherstripping that seals the frame to the body:
62741-60100 x1 (RH)
62742-60090 x1 (LH)
Main frame for the windows:
62705-60032 x1 (LH)
62706-60022 X1 (RH)
Rubber Window Runs:
62755-60050...
I made a clock replacement for the 70 series.
This adds a
GPS speedometer
Time, date
Altimeter
Voltage
And lots of other features
Only needs to be connected to power that used to go to the clock...
Ok swap time. I again am really bad at taking photos during stuff, usually just post stuff to instagram if anything, (same name on there @71harrison come hang). For this I'm just going to write down the top of mind important bits I learned for...
Center of hood and ARB.
I think it is proper here for proportions and the 285 tire size. Good up and down travel on the shocks as well.
When we build these they are always custom. Coil’s selection always come last. We have tried different...
.5* of rake with rear up. I personally like a Cruiser with 1-2* loaded or unloaded. Not quite level but no stink bug, don’t like stinky bug.
Obviously long ways to go for finished weight on this Troopy, we got to start somewhere though...
We like this ride height with the 285’s, maybe just 1-1 1/2” higher in the rear.
We have been using this manifold on a few builds now for trans, tcase and diff breathers. It is a chunk of machined billet with five in ports and one out for your...
All the way down on the bumps (nearly anyways).
We are starting to get the suspension dialed in. Dropping the bumps all around about an inch is part of that. Dropping the front sway bar about the same as well to clear front driveline at full...
