Sorry buddy, you’re not gonna reach T Matt on this forum any longer. He got the 🥾

Clogged fuel filter or leaky pump?

Would check the hose from the PCV to the intake as well.

I leave the key/ring in the cap - hard to drive away with the cap on top of the gas pump with the keys in it.

I did mine on the first of many drives to TX for the Lone Star Roundup in 2005. Somewhere between Tucson and Las Cruces. Traveling in a soft top 40, the canvas acted like a bellows and pulled ALL the fumes into the cab!😱 Well, through Pirate 4x4...

Funny story... I did the same thing driving my 40 to Florida to see @cruisermatt ... realized at the 3rd and final gas stop after I filled up that I couldn't find where I put the cap... thought about it, talked to 2 friends (both more...

Anywhere over there from Livingston, Big Timber, down towards Absorokee would be a nice area, beyond Billings to the east is where it starts getting sketchy. Livingston is cool, but super touristy. It's a beautiful area over there, but as the...

Buy a new points dizzy from Toyota (you won’t notice any driveability difference between an electronic 60 dizzy). I’ve used both extensively - points dizzy is great for long term parts and bolt-on ease.

How about a non-US 19100-61180 Land Cruiser distributor converted to Toyota electronic ignition. I can have one ready in a couple of weeks or less. Here's one of my threads describing the conversion - specifically for the 19100-61180 starting...

Crap Cruisers of Taiwan strikes again. 😂

Took the shoes back off, I’m pretty sure the bottom shoe was installed incorrectly and not seated properly. Lowered wheel cylinders all the way and started over. Got everything back together and adjusted the best I could. They appear to be...

I don't pay much attention to tub replacement threads but I've heard plenty of complaints about CCOT tubs and body panels. I wouldn't believe everything you read there. In the past their restored vehicles were notorious for the amount of body...

You can adjust your wheels stops.

I was encouraged to deal with them via Cruiser Bros. Never have though. 🤷‍♂️

And why is that? (Just asking.)

The failed cylinder was installed straight out of the box so probably got a quitting time dab of lubricant. I'm probably lucky it lasted as long as it did. I use red rubber grease on everything except the adjuster screw. I use a non-melting...

I bought a small can of real Red Rubber Grease, I do the sides of the piston and adjuster plus the adjuster screw. It was on ebay from england.

Maybe you can use it - maybe not. It it was me I'd get the correct part and sleep easy.

I would look at how much you could roughly get parting out the major components (engine, trans, tcase, axles, "used" new 3/4 tub, random odd and ends), and that would be my offer assuming you want a big project.

Started the next project, which was dropping the aux tank. We put it in for the P.O. at my shop approximately 30 years ago, and it hasn't been out since. While the tank stopped the rust in the rear sill from progressing, it probably wasn't a good...

Had to rebuild my rear wheel cylinders (see this post) because one froze up a few months ago and finally got time to take things apart. Since I couldn't get the right rear passenger side (called the "bottom" for some reason) adjuster nut to spin...

I know most people consider it a waste of time with how inexpensive new wheel cylinders are but, unless the brake system is funkruddy I try to rebuild them at least once before they get tossed. Rebuilding an hydraulic drum brake system from...

Just checked the fan - solid, no wobble. Later today I'm gonna remove both belts from the water pump pulley and check the fan again.

I will double check that tonight also. I feel like that was the way I did it a month or so ago on the driver side but I don’t think I paid attention on the passenger side. Thanks for the reminder.

Did you re-grease all the shoe contact points and the slot in the adjuster bolts that the shoes fit in to? I don't know who makes the Cruiser Teq wheel cylinders but I've noticed most aftermarket suppliers have completely cheapened out on them...
