Many thanks guys, this is all good stuff. And yes, served on a silver platter @Guyute. :smokin: Late summer I'll be bringing the rig into the garage for some intensive mechanical rehab and for minor bodywork. It will be indoors for a couple...
The proper way is to fully remove the glass assembly from the hardtop and overhaul, using all the part numbers @OGBeno generously shared. There is a quick/dirty method that works good for just fixing the problem prone window run (62755-60050 &...
Just did the worst thing I could do to my HZJ 73....
ON THE 4th of July, I have brought home an American Icon, to distract me from the stuff I need to do on the cruiser.
Engine was not locked but only God knows what is the health state of it...
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...

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...
