Totally forgot that I had two new door handles on the shelf. Should have put these in while I had the door cards out to work on the windows. Both handles were broken in the same place. Doors open and unlock with the key MUCH easier now.

I ordered what I though was an OEM window regulator off of Fleabay. Turns out it's aftermarket and does not fit! With the original regulator on the bench I could see the issue. The recess on the back of the window crank is severely wallowed out. A few love taps with a punch closed it up a...

I've been putting off pulling the door cards to investigate why the windows are so hard to roll up and down, the door lock is hard to unlock with the key, the doors don't like to open with the handles and the drivers side speaker doesn't work because I'm afraid the door cards would disintegrate...

La Plata Canyon: 1st pic is CR 124 to the end at snow. 2nd pic is FS 798 to the end at Tomahawk Mine.

Went out to find the end of the road. Mission accomplished :cool:

I am pretty sure that she does or has leaked pretty much every fluid in her. Axle rebuilds took care of axle seals, knuckles and diff leaks. Transfer case rebuild took care of its leaks. New brake and clutch master took care of those. New radiator and hoses sealed the cooling system. I have yet...

Is this still available?

cont Of course while you have the diff and axles out you might as well turn this. Into this. This was a bit of a special occasion. After paying for all of this I have officially paid more for maintenance of the truck than I did for the truck!

In August of '24 I went on one last outing into the high country with my brother before an upcoming surgery would prevent me from pushing the clutch and the snow closed the mountains. At one point I heard that awful crack of metal braking. We determined that nothing was hanging off of the...

Added a little seam sealer and this little vice did a nice job of folding the seam back over. Hit it with a little touch-up paint. Knowing that the new touch-up paint wouldn't blend well with the faded tailgate and that my "body work" isn't perfect and any glossy paint would make it look...

Ed, I'm looking for "snake blinders" in good condition, shipped to 81301. Let me know if you have them an how much you want for them. Thanks

I started by cutting a giant hole in the tailgate. It actually looked better than I expected, the rust isn't too bad. With a combination of pliers (the fencing pliers worked the best) I unfolded as much of the seam as I could. After a little wire wheel and POR 15 rust converter it started...

@dasgeek I realize this is an older thread. What happened? Was is rebuild-able? Inquiring minds want to know

I may have mentioned this but I think I got lucky with this Land Cruiser. I bought it from the original owner. It was originally purchased in Farmington, NM and lived its life in Cortez, CO (the south west corner of Colorado). Spending most of its life in a dry desert environment means it has...

I like the father son project idea. Doubt the kid will hotrod it, so speed isn't an issue but the lack of ABS and airbags may be a concern.... How did you break yourself? I'm guessing I wasn't on a run to Starbucks. Hope your surgery and healing go smooth!
