Hi, welcome to Vegas, or at least the SNLC. I’ll echo Matt’s post above. We don’t meet regularly or as a club anymore, but most of us drive/camp/meet up often. Please post on the SNLC form and several will join you. We have an active Land Cruiser community here, but very little online presence.
Pablo,
The header I installed was built by Tri-Mil (welded on tag). I purchased it from TPI since it was described as fitting the FJ55, and the header I removed was stamped MAN-A-FRE in the flange, and looked very similar. The 1977 steering box cap bolt is roughly 3/4” from the #1 pipe (parallax...
Thanks guys-I’ve heard about machining the speedo household deeper so the seal rides at a new location, and it’s great that valley hybrids sells these housings.
Also, to catch up the thread to how the rigs sits (immediately prior to PP2023), I still needed to take care of several issues. These...
Roughly three weeks before the PP2023, I took the rig down to the local muffler shop to bend some pipe. Given the timeline, I chose the geographically closest and least sophisticated muffler shop—the kind where they hold up a bent wire, then go to work matching it in pipe. Stem to stern done in...
Fast backword to 6 weeks before last weekend's PP2023. It was time to start base-lining the mechanicals...First off was to get the sewing machine ticking with gusto. This consisted of pulling the dirty holley 2 bbl, and finding someone on mud to offer up the 28 pieces of missing throttle linkage...
Thanks Evan for planning a great camp out and trail runs. I had a great time both on the runs and around the fire. I'm brand new to the 55, and loved the comradery and helpfulness from everyone. After noticing the PP 2023 thread, I'm was so excited to actually sit behind the wheel of the rig in...
All,
I recently picked up a FJ55...
After looking around for a bit, I picked up this old rig in November 2022 because it was local, mostly solid, and thought the 55 might split the difference between the 40 and 60. It barely runs, starts with a toggle switch, cracked rusted out headers and...
Welcome,
This form is not super active, but several of us post a few things periodically. Despite that, we PM each other and exchange parts/plan trips.
Post ideas and several will chime in.
This is a repost, but I've kept this info both in my rig, and on my phone for years. It's the standard 4 pin gm style available at any parts store along the way. I have one friend running a GM igniter on the 2F. Below is an excerpt of the original post.
A couple weeks ago, my igniter died. One...
Saturday-June 4: The rocky gap and lovell canyon road. A short trip through the southern end of the spring mountains with a picnic at the old camp ground. Solitude was the defining character, as I didn’t encounter any other travelers on the way.
Hi Folks,
I'll be up for meeting to discuss all things Land Cruiser. Here's a pic from 2017 running up wheeler, following some great SNLC folks in fj40s, and one by the river on the Arizona side
