I initially started out with my original pull handle under the dash and it didn’t engage the brakes at all. I am impressed that you are able to get that much leverage out of your pull handle. Perhaps you’re stronger than me, which is a note to...
Do your Chevy calipers look like this?
We talked about making longer levers there to get more force, but I had to adapt the 40 cable to the Chevy kits cables so I made this lever.
The lever under the dash has enough throw with it attached in...
I think that you meant sway bars. Your roll bar is beautiful.
Yes, my calipers look exactly like yours and I also had a lever like what you made but I removed the lever because my old handle didn’t have enough throw to work the lever. It only...
The FJ60 parking brake lever is installed and it is a way better product than the Lokar handle that I was previously using. The 60 has way more leverage and the locking mechanism has tighter teeth, both allowing me to lock the brakes a little...
It's a one-off creation, likely made in Colombia or Costa Rica. Look very closely at the body work for the cab. Is the roof removable? Looks like it Isn't. Value will really specs on how well the work was done. I've seen very high quality with...
Josh is still on here. Doesn’t this remind you of the FJ43 that we went to look at in Colorado Springs? That top seam also had body filler connecting it to the tub.
I agree with Michael B. I’d pass on this one unless they are in the $5k range...
This is why I missed this years event . I hope who ever won our catch can system enjoys it! We are seeking an A level Land cruiser Tech. Job and pay info
in the Employment section . Credit to Karl thanks for posting shop pics. I decided to...
I was thinking about applying but my specialty is mistakes and rework when it comes to working on Land Cruisers. One thing that I can say is that I am very consistent!
Great shop, congrats and good luck with the search!
I won the catch can but since I don’t have an 80 series, donated it to @mesa man and @Mesa Woman
They, in turn, donated some funny tasting salad back.
I would love to stop by and see you sometime.
I am an A (YouTube) level mechanic after all.
Just got back into town from a 3 week road trip and I put 1500 miles on the red Land Cruiser pictured below. I also met a lot of great people, including @Ditcherman and @Tank5 in the other two Cruisers.
Starting the build back process or atleast the "remove the damage" process. Youngest mancub and I started pulling pieces and parts off the ole girl this weekend. Cleaned her up a bit and took her for a quick ride just around the neighborhood...
Annie wasn’t a fan of 4-wheeling, either. She loves to go on 1-2 night trips, but 2 weeks was a bit much for her. Halfway through the trip I met up with my wife and Annie jumped out of the Cruiser and went straight to our car.
