    2F Exhaust Manifold Joint Leak

    I run remflex on everything. I have been very pleased so far. Should seal a slight warp, as said.

    drum brake parts

    If you have the 9mm fitting parts, those may be in demand.

    2F Exhaust Manifold Joint Leak

    Correct, I’ve pulled a handful of these apart and not personally had a broken ring yet.

    2F Exhaust Manifold Joint Leak

    When you take it off for new gasket, pull the ends out and use a small brake hone or fine sandpaper and clean up the inside surface. Then on the male surface there’s a couple sealing rings, make sure they move freely and very slightly pry to expand them and they’ll seal up better when it all...

    Builds Salt wagon My first fj40 (build)

    So long as pedal is adjusted correct, I’d bet there’s still air in there. I’m front disc, rear drum with the manual non-abs 80 series master and I can lock all 4 up with a hard stomp. I have my rears hooked to the front port on the master. There’s debate about this but that’s how mine is.

    Don’t want to hijack but do you have a vacuum booster on your brakes? If so, did you adjust the pushrod?

    Cruiser corps rear seat cover issues…

    I had the same issue with my 71. The flaps were too long and too wide. I folded the flaps over themselves before attaching them. For the width issue, I trimmed the ends at an angle and sewed them closed. I was also disappointed in them and couldn’t get anywhere with the vendor. I think it may be...

    Looking to buy….what are your thoughts?

    Where’s the rest of the pics?! Can’t judge much by what was posted. What year, how many original parts missing, what do you want to do with it, etc?

    Advice on whether I should buy a Land Cruiser

    For checking fuel in oil: smell the dipstick, you’ll know. If not sure still, does the oil level seem a lot higher than it should be or the oil a bit thinner than what you put in?

    Vacuum gauge reading, vacuum leak? leaky valve?

    Seeing the marks doesn’t mean you’re not off. I think you need to start back at the beginning with some stuff. Here’s what I’d do at this point: (in this order) 1. Upload videos to YouTube. No one wants to create a login to Dropbox or google drive or whatever so not many people are probably...

    Builds Salt wagon My first fj40 (build)

    I’m too lazy to read back to see if you posted it, but what’s the fan shroud issue? Is the fan too big, shroud need moved, etc? My 1970 has the F engine but I’m running a 6 blade plastic fan with stock F shroud and no issues. I have a GMB (I think) water pump with no spacer to run the fan. I...

    Builds The 60 known as Mamabear: a tale of rust and good times.

    I’m in the same boat. 8 months of daily driving with same lift, 5 speed and a 270k mile tired 2F. Almost 8000 miles in the last year. Looking good.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    With the thread about @EmanC getting his cruiser stolen and air tags and such, anyone know if there’s a way to tie one of these gps speed modules into some kind of tracking app for theft recovery?
