Yes, I have, and yes, it is full. Yes, I started with furthest. No bubbles present. Ok Did, and getting back to you. Parking brake does not work. Needs adjusting. Just rebuilt rear brake shoes, drums, cylinders. Yes does firm up, but goes soft again after awhile. Why skip the power bleeder?

I guess the other relevant question to ask is which one of the two brake lines is the return on the LSPV and which Ray Lyne exiting the master cylinder is the return? Maybe I do have them flip-flop but I have no idea and I can’t see any documentation in the chassis manual about which is which.

This bolt covering plug is missing on the pass side, but I have one on the driver side. Any idea what it’s called and/or PN?

What would happen if I had flip flopped the two brake lines entering the LSPV? Could this be the cause of this issue? If @Felde is correct, then I need to *not* have the LSPV tied to the bed, and instead need to have it pulled downward.

OK, and update. I have replaced the LSPV and I have tied the long rod that connects to the axle to the top of the bed. Unfortunately, after bleeding (6 or 7 times) all 5 bleeder nipples (starting with LSPV bleeder, then pass rear, then driver rear, then pass front, then driver front) with...

OK, six years later and this issue has finally been diagnosed. I rebuilt the rear wheel brake drum cylinders, and I also redid the rear brake hardlines. That, and at the same time, I also replaced all of the bleeder bolts on all four corners. What I have noticed after performing probably 6-7...

I have found some data cards for other comps, but they are newer trucks:" https://toyotamedia.b-cdn.net/files/2021/11/LC70_Spec_Data_Jun2021.pdf https://toyota.dreamhosters.com/pages/land_cruiser_70/spec.php

Hey fellers What does my 1988 BJ75 single cab pick up weigh, wet? It is technically a 08-1987 BJ75LP-MRW I want to get a car lift so I can park a car underneath it. Thanks!

Hey folks, For time, cost, and satisfaction reasons, I am going to reinstall these parts myself. I have all new rear brake drums, shoes, cylinders, and rebuild kit on hand. I also will replace the rear bearings. I have most of the standard tools on hand, but I don't have any specific wheel...

The differential that is going back in has not been rebuilt, per se. It was a takeoff from another 70 series with 100k km, but we'll rebuild/replace the other junk when we put it back together. The diff assy itself will remain as it was. Let's see what happens. The truck gets so little use (ca...

Just an update on this project: I have not driven the 70 series pick up this year and the differential has been out since early summer. I sent off the rear diff assy to Cruiser Outfitters for a rebuild with their ring and pinion offering. Nobody near to me was willing to rebuild it...

Please take a look on this forum for 2LT blown head gaskets issues, as this may be a starting point for you. You can conduct tests and visual inspections to see if your overheating is a function of a blown head gasket. You may also wish to evaluate your cooling system and whether it is doing...

I have 235 85 16 and love the cruising speed as is, and I've not no use for air lockers as the truck lives on the pavement. I can't believe I just admitted that, but... 😂

But I should say that I am still going to put it back together after very lightly cleaning it up to see if I can salvage it. I will buy the replacement ring and pinion set (final gear kit) just to be safe.

Thanks, I am going to create a parts list. What may be helpful (if I can ask you) is to have a complete list of parts that you used to install this final gear kit. These parts are what were required for your 60 series, but I assume (and will test in due course) that they would be the same for a...
