I think you should teach the kids how to rebuild what's there. Brakes especially because in order to get functional drum brakes in a Toyota landcruiser you need to pick up a book and read. They aren't conventional and therefore are a great...
The winch is an early Belleveiw Warn Winch. Pretty rad. It is has a broken brake lever arm, otherwise it seems complete. I cleaned up the in cab controls. I will replace all the wiring and see if she fires up. If she pulls hard then I will spring...
That looks like an old Warn winch. That in it's self is a worthy project to rework. This is a great forum with multiple members coming forward with offers of parts , not to mention the priceless advice. In my opinion for students reworking it...
Discs, 4 speed, and Steele rubber has the gasket for pinchweld in doors🧐🤔😉. You got a PTO Winch there?? Toyota Matt would ❤️ dat radio 😘. He not here no more ☹️😏.
Front disc is a safety upgrade and few purists ever knock off points for those. Different locking hubs (Aisin vs Warn) and you may need to relocate the leaf perch. You will want a post october I think 1975 for the discs.
3 to 4 speed: Cruiser...
Okay, I have been slowly cleaning and inspecting the Cruiser in the evenings and I am encouraged overall. Very solid rig with minimal rust. I am just deep cleaning it for starters and observing what's there and what is missing.
As I plan the...
What a perfect rig to teach the next generation.
Simple mechanics that work for years, with no computer nonsense.
You can tune this bad boy with a damn screwdriver.
Can't wait to see it in a local parade or car show :)
Nice guy. He wanted way more than I was willing to pay. I offered him a fair price and he didn’t take it. Called me later on and accepted it. I was stoked. Drove it home with my 12 year old all smiles.
Started a build thread if you would like...
Thanks guys, the cluster is there and even lights up, but gauges seem to not be working... yet. I will dig into and see what's happening and let you know if we need another one. Thank you both for offering!
I teach a basics automotive class for one of our local high schools here in Montana. Just two 45 minute elective classes a week. This years project/homework...
A 1972 FJ55.
Found it locally. I pulled over the first day it was on the side of...
Paul, they're perfect. I'll call soon.
I need an afternoon to go through this thing and give you a list.
I should be sending you a Christmas card at this point in my life! HA!
Title says most of it.
I’m looking for unrestored side mirrors for a ‘72 pig. These are going on a survivor. I have no interest in pretty parts. Mirrors need to be functional and not cracked.
I’m in Montana but happy to pay the shipping...
