I removed this rear view mirror from our 1970. The fasteners are not concealed as they are with the OEM. However the holes do line up with the mounting holes in the windshield frame and I believe that it is the proper pewter color. Free to a good home if you pay the shipping cost.
The upper Mounting Brackets are a pair of aftermarket ones that I used on our 1970 until recently when I found a pair of NLA brackets. The other parts are OEM and freshly powder coated. $50.00 plus shipping.
Someone more knowledgeable may chime in, but here is my understanding:
First the Toyota nomenclature:
Drive Gear: Refers to the metal gear on the rear output shaft inside the speedometer housing on the back of the transfer case.
Example of Speedometer Drive Gear:

I'm working on trying to install a new clutch/pressure plate for the 4speed conversion project and I've run into a bit of a roadblock. The clutch is in with the alignment tool and the pressure plate has 3 of the bolts in. However, it is very difficult to try and rotate the flywheel to get...
The vehicle is a 19700 40 series with the original F motor, floor shift 3-speed and vacuum operated T-Case. All were working fine BEFORE starting this project. A huge shoutout to Georg (@orangefj45) and his fantastic crew at Valley Hybrids for their patience in answering all of my questions...
I will be converting a 3-speed to a 4-speed, keeping the vacuum actuated 3-speed transfer case and under dash shift mechanism for hi/lo. It is my understanding that because the 4-speed is approximately 4-6" longer, I will need to extend the hi/lo shift linkage rod. I measured the diameter as...
I tried using the search function but didn’t really see an answer… I will be attempting a 3 speed to 4 speed conversion and will be trying to pull the old trans/T-case combo and replace with the 4 speed combo. From what I have read, it seems that a hoist from above makes things easier. (I will...
It is kind of like pulling a loose thread on a sweater... I noticed a pea-sized rock chip on the front hood. The chip had penetrated through the clear coat, finish paint through past the primer. No problem I thought. I'll just fill and touch it up I foolishly thought. The result was less...
I have an ARB Universal Compressor Mounting Bracket 3501010 that is new in box. I ended up going in a different direction and did not install this. I paid $173, but am hoping to get $85.00, plus shipping.)
Thanks.
I have a new in box ARB 12v air compressor for lockers. I paid $230.00, but looking to get $115.00, plus shipping. (I ended up going a different direction and did not install this one.)
Thanks.
Happy Holidays everyone. As 2023 draws to a close, it is a good time to reflect. Share what your biggest accomplishment/improvement to your Land Cruiser over the past 12 months and/or what you have in store for it during 2024.
I sure would appreciate it if someone with a factory original Vader light could tell me the dimensions for locating correctly locating the holes. Thank you.
There is a split-second momentary flash from the dash turn signal when I turn on either heater or activate the high beam. Everything seems to function as it should, but I'm just wondering if I need to track this down. The only fairly recent change is I installed led bulbs in the dash lights...
With a Dakota Digital instrument cluster, what is the normal voltage reading at operating speed? Ours is consistently reading over 15v with headlights on. I’ve read Rudy’s excellent write/up on voltage regulators Voltage Regulator (ext.) / How it works -...
Mark your calendars for October 21, 2023. That is the date for the Bay City Lions Club 2023 Rice Festival Car Show. I attended last year's event and it was a blast. But, unfortunately, ours was the only Land Cruiser represented. Since the organizers had no idea, they put us in the "Exotic"...
