Looking for lap belts that somewhat resemble the oem ones - i know I won't find the exact. Are these any good? seatbelts

driver & passenger lap belts? All hardware?

Doing some homework... as I've added the wedges to the body for the doors to better attach, I've reduced rattling to the point where I hear the spare tire carrier rattling around like crazy. Looking at the piece of steel the carrier latches to, I can see someone has manually shaped it: Can...

am i in trouble - ding in the saddle of the cap - can i still seal this up with the gasket+silicone (ultra black permatex)?

My goodness, are you sure? 130lbs? Where are you reading that? I couldn't believe it when I torqued it up to 100... Here's the page out of the fsm... and i'm not claiming any kind of authority, just wondering where 130-160 came from is all... please sorry, wrong picture - the bearing cap -...

if it's good enough for cute baby ducks, it's probably good enough for crushers.

I’ll post a video tomorrow-hope I can get on par with the childhood games.

Stuck at the rear main. Every time I start to put it on the spring pops out. I dropped the cap a bit to make it easier… seems about impossible right now. Tips or tricks?

I want to thank whomever it was that suggested putting a bottle jack against the drip pan to push it. It took me a while to get that pan off but I'd be scraping my knuckles raw till next month without that idea... when it works, it works. Cleaning the pan: Next, degrease, scotch pad, and orange...

So the transmission is out - working on the sump gasket which feels like it was welded in place. Next time, yes I will pull everything together - i'm learnen-ing. after the clutch and fly wheel came out: attaching ear and starting on sump: sump bolts - battery died: TimeLapse 3-17-2025 02 -...

definitely the bottom picture - the diaphragm. Still hoping that land cruiser angels bless me one time and the SC, fork, etc. all line up. I DO have to move the pivot point to the other side of the bell housing, but I can do that once I get it off tomorrow. I'm feeling a little more optimistic...

I couldn't tell you the difference between diaphragm or 3 finger clutch.

I've never tried to take the PTO off - work looking into though - has anyone pulled a PTO off? Easy/hard?

that makes a ton of sense. I've got a 65" hose in my cart from amazon and I'll get that SC moved over. A little later tonight I'll see if I can lower the back of the engine. I'm assuming that the "ears" just get taken off the side of the bell housing? Or do you undo the engine mounts from the...

clutch question: As this is a 73 crusher and came with the 3spd, time has passed and the 3spd was swapped for the 4spd. Props to FJ40Jim for recognizing the misalignment between the old slave cylinder mount and the current fork. Here's the link to that post - "Question about clutch slave rod...
