What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (105 Viewers)

[Pitter Patter]

The Air Injection rail nuts are not captured, you should replace them all due to age and time crusty factor there going on

Below are Japan Spec. Injection rail service parts , the red brass / bronze sleeves and the nuts them selfs ….

You have it use a sharp face nipper like the NIPPEX brand and actually cut off the side face cleanly then u can get them off

Out with the old in with the TEq new , it’s a solid MAI system for you …

Man I need you on speed dial. Could have saved myself a lot time and work.

Drove to town and put $40 in the gas tank.

Connected my cooling fan on the 2uz swap. Bypassed the temp sensor to make sure my wiring was good first. Getting close to road worthy!

 

[Pighead]

Got a new winch mounted. Had to put the control box in the engine bay so i can still use the hand crank.

Barely had enough to get to town! I dumped the rest of my fuel can into my lawnmowers today, then I realized my 40 was on E. Told wife to stand by, I might need a lift!

Opened my winch this evening, I've never been able to switch it to "free spool".

Walked away and cracked a cold beer.

I found the same red scourge burrowed into my winch….Just one of those PMCS level 10 checks you tend to skip.

Installed a shiny re-built wiper motor by @thundermcawesum. He does beautiful work.

Got the BJ up and running for first time in 10 months and promptly took it up into the mountains for a quick camping trip northeast of Durango.

What all is included in your rehab? Do you have a link? Thanks.

In my last "what have you done this week' episode, I have my TLC towed home. Found the culprit, dead battery and loose power wire to one of the 4 fuse boxes. Wish I would have found that on the trail.
Bought an ARB air locker for the rear along with axle revuild kit and picked up a bunch of tools to do the job. Maybe I tackle this in the next 2 days...hopeful dreaming.

I’ll reply to this too. If you have a core I’ll source parts if needed, degrease, check for wear, change brushes if needed, replace wiring and plastic wire connector if needed, adjust parking switch, body filler if needed, prime and paint. Price to be determined based on how much has to be done.

What’s the plan? That looks like a headache

 

[rmckay1021]

Installed the water pump and new turn signals. Waiting for some parts to come back from the platers so I can install the radiator and plumb the heater.

I don't know yet, once I dig into it I'll get a better idea what I'm up against. It's not it that bad of condition, obviously the goal is to rebuild it back to a reliable tool.
