took some sunset photos of my LJ73

On my FJ75 I run a remote 8 3/4" PBR VH40 booster on the front brake circuit as well as the booster on the master cylinder, it pulls up and stops like a brand new holden commodore, on my FJ40 I run a dual diaphragm booster, off a mid 1990's hilux...

Sounds a lot like driving an unladen BJ70 :lol:

Airing down Monday..

Some Random shots from the trip. This is Sunday (Stony Pass) Same day... It was like driving 1800 ft. up hill over basketballs - happy to be on down side of Stony.

home again, home again, jiggity-jig. --r

It is pretty rare to see a TLCA sanctioned, club sponsored, non-profit benefit wheeling event going strong after a decade, but this event is an example. It takes a dedicated team (Peter, Sam and Charles) plus clubs, volunteers, sponsors and...

Big day. Seam sealer came in along with proper weld through primer. I have all of the patches for bolting inner fender on the outer fender and one big patch left on inner fender. I’ve put fender on and off a few times to get things lined up. I...

PS: FedEx picked up a number of boxes yesterday containing our raffle prizes, shwag bags and goodies for each vehicle in attendance!

Booked my plane tickets, so it’s official! We will be there representing Terrain Tamer and Valley Hybrids! Super excited to gibsllly make it out to TN for this event. And I’m very much looking forward to finally meeting some of my long-term...

had a great time at SAS. wouldn't have made it if it weren't for @OlYellr. much gratitude. ok, some sleep would be good. --r

Another speed mod today. The stripe gave it many horsepowers so a fancy grill badge should add torques. Right?

Hello, Your pictures suggest that. Make sure you get the right ECU (manual transmission) and, if possible, an H151F transmission. 1FZ-powered 70 Series had the transmission lever some 1 or 2 in. further back that 3F-powered ones. Juan

FOR YOUR PLANNING PURPOSES ……. ** What you don’t need….. 1) You don’t need a 70 Series (we welcome all Land Cruisers) 2) You don’t need to worry about evening meals (your host provide those each night). 3) You don’t need to know the Windrock...

Old man emu steering dampner. I was getting wobbles. My panhard rod bushings are Mint. My old dampner is quite finished, I could push on it and there was 1 1/2" of play. Problems solved!

Got the rear axle and one shock mounted, which allowed me to check the suspension travel. Here's on the "bump stops" (about 1cm over full compression of the shock): Normal ride height, or at least pretty close: And at full extension of the...

Western Alps, Strada Militare Fenil, 🇮🇹: Fort Pramand.

We have been working on getting some more t shirts designs done, and continuing to add more just trying to cover all the early stuff that I can’t find. 25,45 45lv and pigs. Few 60 things but trying to stick to early cruisers. Will continue to add...

Good afternoon. Thank you. I actually translated it into English using Google and I see that the text is in Spanish. My apologies.

Hola amigo. Aqui tienes el manual para el VM motor. Tengo mas info si lo necesitas ... manuales de carroceria, etc. Tbn tengo un Bj73, pero mi motor VM se murio. Ahora actualmente estoy instalando motor 1KZ-T

What year model is your 1fz? I have never seen Toyota pistons with those little circle stamp marks. You can buy new Toyota pistons .50 or 1.0mm over. You can’t buy sleeves for a 1fz that I am aware of. This is a picture of a OEM .50mm over piston.

@sadam_husain, you're right that I should certainly get some measuring done, and then I can make a more informed decision. @Fj80oregon, the engine is from a Venezuela model, probably 2003 - 2009. From my research: "Starting in 1998, the fuel...

Sorry if I missed a similar discussion, but I couldn't find anything. So, my initial plan was to just freshen up my top end, but after removing the head, it looks like I should replace my pistons/rings/crank bearings. My pistons have '50'...
