@orangefj45 Valley Hybrids does as well. That’s 3! I put a blue marking for torque and a yellow for checking the torque again. But then again I’m not shop. 😀
Picked the troopy up from Terrain Tamer. @orangefj45 did the final check and wheel alignment. Replaced the H151 with a H152. I drove it home. First long (100 miles) trip. Love the way it handles. IP needs a bit more tuning. The turbo lags...
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...
I installed it on my HJ75. Needed to extend the back which was easy peasy. Harness was almost new condition and I bought all the relays 12 V. EVERYTHING worked. What took the longest was deleting the daylight box. I ended up jumping 3 sets...
Just did the worst thing I could do to my HZJ 73....
ON THE 4th of July, I have brought home an American Icon, to distract me from the stuff I need to do on the cruiser.
Engine was not locked but only God knows what is the health state of it...
Finally I have working ac in my troopy. Had to look for parts from many source, but hardest part was probably the hoses and specially fittings. I wanted to use Toyota's original cooler unit, amplifier and dashboard controls. Compressor, codenser...
70s and all Landcruisers… every oil change (~3000 miles) I also grease the drivelines. Eventually the bottom of my rigs have a layer of black dry grease. Over the years it accumulated to a massive amount. I figured to tackle it with high...
Finally did a short shakedown run after a slurry of upgrades. New power steering box/pump/ressy/lines, new TT radiator, HDT fan/shroud, turbo blanket, downpipe wrapped and added a second undersized trans cooler in series behind the valance. Also...
So while the troopy is being tested with Georg @orangefj45 ive been working on the galley. I’m using a CORIAN counter top. It is an amazing material. I had to counter sink the sink (😂) so built a frame from CORIAN and glue it on the bottom of...
New OEM H152F installation is complete, first test drive was a success. The troopy is back on the rack for a final inspection, then we’ll put some miles on it early next week.
What a fantastic build, truly a pleasure to work on this cruiser and...
it was previously repaired and not done right , so far no good body parts have gone out . I did chuck a bunch of miscellaneous mudflaps and bumper parts the other day . If I don’t immediately realize what model/version it’s from or I have to many...
New transmission is ready for install.
We’ve got the transmission input gear and retainer swapped out.
Installation planned for tomorrow.
Stay tuned ……
