Had to swap pulley cups with the new pump. Super glad I had one. Also had to swap pulleys on the alternator. Amazingly I had one of those too.

^^^ This would be my approach ^^^ I would also look at using an air hammer of some sort if possible.

Last week, I added some rear bump stop drops to keep the tires from hitting the wheel well openings. That worked well and rode decent. Only problem is there's only like maybe 2 inches before the bumps hit. Since, I wanna use this as a truck...

What is this word, “justification”?

Got a pile of beauty. And a cool new tool

Nice! I love new tools. What nut or bolt was the justification for a new tool? :p

grabbed a burger local then went back to the 40. Got the new Tie Rods all in place. Toe set. Rods and ends painted. Stabilizer in place.

Sniper King is gonna use a carb? :grinpimp:

Meanwhile, back in Tennessee, the grandchildren seem well-adjusted.

Thank you guys, acquired new (to me) motor and will clear out the garage for my winter project. The previous owner wasn’t even home but had enough trust in a fellow cruiser owner and my wedding story that he instructed me into his garage to use...

Very nice accomplishment…I would love to sleep next to my Land Cruiser!

Now the final step was done! the tubs were coated with electrostatic primer and ready to be packed and shipped! Once they arrived (around next month this time), we plan to always keep one floor demo at our Temecula store. Welcome to stop by and...

Table is finished. I went to SOR fully expecting them to have these early intake gaskets and they don’t. Anyone?

Don't you mean his welding table, 😁

I was going to caveat my recommendation in saying that the Japanese iterations are of significantly higher quality Patrick, but in the end, it wasn’t worth it. Thanks for the empirical evidence. 👍👍

The Fuji reps are fine, but the ICS o-ring usually is torn and the float fails if driven often. Swap both for oem and you’re good to go. Also inspect the emulsion tube - but usually it’s the Chinese copies that drop the emulsion tube out of the...

A couple of the local guys have tried them and ended up sourcing an original used carb or buying the higher quality aftermarket from CityRacer. They literally gave the carbs away to anyone who would take them.

So we continued to get some grinding noise even in neutral. Decided to yank tranny/xfer and have a look. Pilot bearing was roached. Needle bearing type. Bearings had scattered and dug a little pit in the nose cone of the input shaft. Hate the...

Hi, Yes, I still have the kit. Phil

You've already received plenty of sound advice, but just to add my $0.02, I would be weary of something like that without detailed records - especially at that price. If your budget is up there, you can find a great truck at a better price and...

Personally it's not my style build. If I was gonna go that far from stock I would want a modern day V8. I am well versed in Land Cruisers as I have bought, sold, restored many in the last 15 years. If this one is what it is and does not have...

Literally the definition of rich. :lol:

Thanks!
