    Brake Master Cylinder Issue?

    I share your pain. My brake pedal went to the floor a month ago. No leaks in system lines. I have replaced all shoes (drum brakes), replaced all wheel cylinders (adjusters on 2 where frozen-up; 2 were wet under the rubber boot so I replaced them all, and replaced the MC (bench bled), and bled...

    Vacuum test help

    I read this thread and I one question. Where is the best spot to connect the vacuum gauge to tune the carb? I tried using the dizzy advance port next to the idle mixture screw (Trollhole Carb), but got no reading at idle, so that can’t be right. Thanks!

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Yup, I rummaged through the garage and came up empty-handed; then I just started cussing and tapping not to deform it as I drove it in.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Serviced the parking brake that hasn’t worked for years. Now works fine. Note: I rotated the adjustment mechanism 180 degrees before closing up. Shoes would not center properly as pictured. Also replaced the seal in the transfer case while is was in there.

    Parking Brake Drum vs Frame Cross Member

    Found some time to install the new torque tube from 4Plus/lcwizard. Pic of tube installed, cut out of prior torque bar, and finally able to service the parking brake (I ended up rotating the adjustment mechanism 180 degrees - shoes would not center properly the way pictured). Thanks for the...

    Parking Brake Drum vs Frame Cross Member

    Knowing my luck (nothing goes together until I bleed on it) I’d be under the rig in the garage with the transfer case resting nicely on my chest. I’ll move the tube and spare the chest. PS: I’m up in Erie once or twice a year (summer only), the wife is from there. We go up to visit her family...

    Seat belts still work?

    Using my original as well (‘69). I just have to make sure it “clicks” when connecting or they pull apart.

    Parking Brake Drum vs Frame Cross Member

    When you post that you have some made up, can you mention the length from end to end so I can measure my frame? Sorry to be a pain, but measure twice, buy once since my 40 is a mutt, I want to be sure. Then I need to find a surgeon with a welder. Thanks!

    Parking Brake Drum vs Frame Cross Member

    Thanks. A clutch replacement is going to be needed in the next year or so; perhaps I move the crossmember now and make both jobs easier.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Used the 40 to scarf up some left-over sod from a landscaping job nearby. They over-ordered and I had some dead spots in the yard that needed re-sodding; and rain was in the forecast - all planets were aligned.

    Parking Brake Drum vs Frame Cross Member

    transfer case clearance Is this (above link) still the preferred solution to removing the Parking Brake Drum when it is blocked by the frame cross member. I have this problem and need to replace the pads. Found this searching the site. Thanks Josie’s LandCruisers (Alan) for posting ( 2012)...

    Toyota Land Cruiser unstructured and 5-panel hats

    Hat was delivered today. Nice quality, I am totally satisfied. But now I have to break-in a new hat and that takes wear and time (along with sweat, dirt, rain, etc...so I’ll like it more a year from now.

    The fade on that paint is fantastic. Looks like a 40 should.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Changed all the fluids, greased, gave her a hose-down (been almost a year since the last one) and then took her to Jacksonville (FL) Cars and Coffee Saturday morning. Only Land Cruiser there.

    70 mph, impressive! Mine gets a bit squirrelly starting at 60.

    FJ40 muffler

    I just put this on a couple of months ago. About 30 percent quieter than stock. It's for a Camaro Z28; 1986. Breaks the sound with dual out ports.
