Maybe you’re confused about my post. I clearly stated the part was listed on the Heritage parts list. That’s why I posted here in the first place. Edit: Adding link https://toyotagazooracing.com/-/media/TMC/tgr/global/contents/gr/heritage/pdf/2024/Landcruiser40_en.pdf Page 6, line 63...

Few points I maybe wasn’t too clear on, and maybe I’m not totally sure. But, -all the normal domestic parts places were showing NLA. -the part number was listed in the heritage parts documentation on the Toyota website -there was only one vendor on eBay listing the part for a normal price, and...

Sold!

Then got to thinking about the master cylinder on this truck. Drum front and drum rear, 1982. Front drums were visually different than the early US drum fronts. Much beefier. Rears are the typical 60/62/80 drums. I wonder, will this master work correctly with the 62 front brakes I just swapped...

Bent up new hard lines for the front axle, that move the tee over to the passenger side. Had to make up a bracket for the tee as well. Worked out well. Bending lines is interesting. Best to work slow. In my mind, I expected these to be super clean, tight to the axle, etc. turned out well...

How are you liking those Kenda MTs vs the typical Geolandar G003s?

What did I do? Dusted off the 16” wheels I have set aside for my Fj43. 2” lift. Then jumped on a mini steam train with the kids. Wild weather here in CA the past week. Cold! Need some advice, new tires is happening this week. Need to choose between these two. Already decided on 235/85r16...
