    My new distraction… technically doesn’t “need” much but, well, yall know.

    Been a minute. I should update… Cleaned up engine bay wiring, still struggling to keep the engine cool under heavy load (ie snow wheeling). Wired up my seat heaters finally so that’s been nice! Otherwise I’ve been fairly unproductive on the Cruiser, I did buy another distraction though so that...

    I believe next on the menu will be a new steering box (red head?) tapped for ram assist. I also need to clean up the engine bay wiring, probably delete a battery, and I want to snorkel the intake for cooler MAT. It’ll be well over 100* MAT on a hot day.

    At some point I may swap for one of those 160* tstats, a lot of LS guys seem to like those in built cars with less air flow. My bumper and stuff probably blocks quite a lot of flow. But so far having swapped to a 16psi rad cap has helped a lot.

    186* I think factory is 180* Edit: it’s vice versa. 180* is what I have, 186* is stock.

    I drive it a couple times a week. I think I still had air, I rebled it and with the other adjustments, I made it did great. I only ran one fan on and tried all day to overheat it in about 80* weather and hottest it got was 211* about perfect I think! Stopping and starting, high gear and low...

    Forgot to mention, the adjustments I made seemed to cool my idle temps by about 5-10*

    I have a new LS style radiator installed, premixed coolant, system is bled (I’ll be rebleeding it today). Everything appears to be working correct and I still can’t keep my low speed driving temps down, I got up to 240* in town (stuck behind a city bus), so I whipped into a parking lot and shut...

    Really? That’s actually really good to know, makes me wonder if it’s my 203 that’s howling and not my trans... yeah mine makes a howl on deaccel and a very slight gear whine at above 50-55mph or so. I don’t have any bad vibrations though. After this last trip my plan is to change out the oil in...

    @Hojack absolutely! We were at Cline Butte OHV, about 15min NW of Redmond. It’s my favorite place to camp and wheel, love central Oregon. I’m always down for Land Cruiser get togethers! As to the radiator, I used 50/50 mix this last time and the rad is grounded (although I might make doubly...

    Right, that makes sense, well I’ll be keeping a close eye on it. Thanks @cruisermatt Took the cruiser out this last weekend and wheeled it for 2 days plus about 280mi driving round trip. Performed great! The trans is making excessive noise but shifts better than my last sm465. The doubler was...

    I have the hydraulic sm465 bell housing, from what I’ve heard they are pretty strong. Either way, the motor mounts are the same, sleeved polybushing. So the whole powertrain is hard mounted. It’s far from ideal but seemed like a good idea at the time... I’ll be keeping a close eye on the doubler...

    The cool new thing is swapping radiators every 6 months. Doncha know?!

    I think if I had bought a clocked adapter it would have been a lot tighter to the floor. I’m not sure cutting it out would have helped to much there is still room, but the 205 is a big unit. As it is I have 20” at the lowest point and 22” at the rest. Im headed out this weekend to put it to the...

    It wasn’t a “fun” project, but it’s back on the road. Photo dump incoming. Late November I started removing the loudly protesting SM465 and NP208 from the truck. I assumed from there it would be a simple matter of reinstalling my spare 465 and then attaching my 203/205, then building a...
