Bought a non-functioning Canonet QL-17 G-III Rangefinder Camera, rehabbed it and tested with Kentmere Pan400. It works! And here are a couple photos of the 60 in a February snow.

Sorry for the delay. I could not find a part number on the alternator but I did reference it was a 3FE alternator in my thread from 2017. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1983-cruiser-story.987502/post-11161383 Will post photos from today, too.

I’d have to think back on that. I believe I used the alternator from a 1991 Land Cruiser. I bought an adapter harness from @Coolerman . I had to source a slightly shorter belt to make everything work without maxing out the adjustment. Other than that nothing stands out in my head as overly...

10-10.5 MPG How many gallons does it take when you fill it up? I believe factory fuel tank is just under 24 gallons. I was having a similar issue and it turned out the fuel pickup in the tank was not as low as it should've been in the tank. Mine was a new Toyota pickup that must've been bent...

Sounds awesome! Have any photos to share of the trip? Mileage sounds about like mine, the most I've done is about 6 hours. In the past, I've heard 3,000 is about the max you'd want to spin the engine, especially for prolonger periods. I try to stay between 60-65 and 2,500rpm on road trips...

I was reminded by @Godwin ’s post of the Baja lights (which turned out great!) about my solution to filling the turn signal holes on ARB bumpers. I thought I’d share (again) for the newer folks. I bought a small sheet of 3/16” Lexan at Lowe’s and some stainless hardware. Cut to size and test...

What do you drive in winter that's better than your Cruisers??

Brakes all around. Man, I hate changing wheel studs to do rotors. But it’s finished.
