Long day yesterday but much progress made. Floor patch is back in. I’m having a devil of a time with blow through, most likely due to gaps that are too large. I’ve ordered some welding spoons that will hopefully help. Inner rocker is welded in...

No sure if its 70 build. More like kitchen cabinet. Been working on the ‘built in’ National Luna fridge and countertop. I want the counter to be an integral part of the fridge top so when it’s closed we have a semi continuous surface. Routed...

Daaaaaum! That 13B Cool

Spotted this 70 at the beach today.

Took a small work trip, 1.5 hours down the interstate then backroads on the way home. On the trip she rolled 560,000kms As for the temps on the trips: Interstate - 70mph, slight tailwind, 78F, 2400rpm Water temp 187F EGT - 800ish...

Insulator block. I think more for sound than heat... Mine is gone on a 1HZ.

Right below the oil filter? Check that sucker first.

And here we are in 2025. This truck lives outside and the soft top has taken a beating from the Texas sun. The vinyl windows have clouded and I’ve got a tear in the passenger side flap. It’s still my favorite thing I’ve ever done to a cruiser.

there are many things I want to get to - as I'm a bit of a perfectionist. but the good news is it's the neato cool stuff, not the essentials. it runs great, AC works, starts every time, it stops, hauls stuff and I love it. Big thanks for the...

just photos for now. less than a week. i've been exhausted all of july. sleep in september. --r

First fit of the galley frame. I can easily pick it up without the fridge.

Made more room for my HZJ74 in my garage!.....It fit before but its roomier now....To accomplish this I actually sold something....Sold this '67/68 Dormobile.....Call me a flipper, we only owned it for 27 years....Hmmmm, on closer inspection my...

I just got another batch in for aluminum door cards for the rear doors for 70 series . These fit all rear 7x doors , doesn’t matter if it is a 70,71,73,74,75,76,77,78 or 79 , if it has rear doors these will work . They are made out of 0.125 (+3...

Picked up the 74 this morning. Cruiser Outfitters for the win. I had no idea how bad it actually was. It's a totally different vehicle now.

are there good 2lt parts?....

Time for a new heart. This crappy engine is done for. Anyone need any good 2L-T parts?

Back from the paint shop! Cheers

An over-due clutch replacement. A seized pilot bearing got it underway. more issues uncovered. A worn transfer input shaft caused by the input gear. Cruiser Outfitters was able to supply a new custom input gear that is one piece. It replaces the...

Since we don't smoke, replaced the lighter... Next is a digital.

It's been another month! I have finished all of the welding that needs to be done on the driverside of the vehicle. I'm so burnt out on it I'm not even going to grind anything down or make it look somewhat decent at the moment. I just want to get...

I can chime in a bit as I have owned a few 80's, 100's and now a 70. -The biggest problem with maintaining a 70 series is replacement body parts. Interior and exterior. If you smash a fender or your front grille, its not as easy and coming on...

Welcome. A. You can daily drive anything if you try hard enough. That said... Diesel Toyotas aren't the best short mile DDers around! Be sure to give her some long hard miles too. I daily either a HZJ77 or 73 depending on the current state of...

I would skip the HZJ77 and look for the HZJ76 from Japan as those are now becoming importable.

Finally added in the temp sender in the radiator hose and went for a test. Only got about 45 drive in it so not a real big heat sink. 93F today, running down the interstate at 65mph. 2350rpms EGT 769 12psi 188 degree water temp. I still have...

Another weekend, another few projects knocked off the list. New cambelt water pump rad hoses turbo coolant hoses thermostat etc. Modified and chucked some old drawers in the box. And also redid the deck with some new transply.
