What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (23 Viewers)

[RMD3050]

Installed a rebuilt steering box, first time in 20+ years of ownership. The old one was loose, out of adjustments and leaking.
I repainted the box because it was packed in a plastic bag with wet paint and was a mess.
I went with primer gray with a clear coat over it. While I had it apart, I painted the steering shaft and column, installed a new rag joint, and repacked the bearings. The steering is much tighter now and I don't look like a drunk on the highway.

Tank is tacked up and a little paint..

Adding more toys to the rig. Next on the list is the remote start, alarm and push to start. I already had a push button start but this is at least more OEM feeling, if you were in a 200 series cruiser that is....


Now I can start cleaning up the dash and interior. Got a lot of stainless cover plates to design, cut and finish for my end game plan.

How do you set pinion angle with it off the truck? I ask because ever time I see spring pads getting welded to an axle they seem to set it with the weight of the truck on it.

cheers

This is a 60 sua axle. Simply mimic the stock angles... Nothing to it and doesn't need to be on, off, loaded or unloaded.

Note to self:
Make sure a lizard isn’t camping out in your special funnel before you pull the transmission plug.
