Rear brakes are dangerously weak, so I took a look-see. Didn't even have to pull a tire... both brake backing plates are showing drooling. Probably not wheel cylinders, but I added a pair of ADVICS to the order for good measure. I also added a pair of outer axle seals which I think are the...
I've been perusing the several write-ups on box rebuilds, but still have questions.
I'm blaming my death-wobble on the 0.040" of backlash in my sector shaft (measured at the end of the pitman arm where the relay rod connects,) There is zero axial play in the sector shaft. Being hesitant to...
I'm soliciting ideas on sealing the entire underside of a 14 ft dia pop-up style vinyl pool bottom? Lots of pinholes from being placed directly over playground sand that wasn't fully cleaned of the 1/4" gravel the sand was placed over. Gravel placed around the outside perimeter also migrated a...
The fuse box cover for my 62 broke into pieces and one half is MIA. I have a replacement cover from a 60 that I'll color match to the charcoal/graphite gray (non-matching light gray at this point) but the paper fuse schematic pasted inside is no longer accurate.
Anyone have a good hi-res pic of...
12000 lb, made in Taiwan, no other markings other than "DWC" stamped the bottom of the base.
I'm looking to rebuild it and hope to find a parts list instead of just measuring o ring a u ring seals.
Thanks in advance.
This is the right side of the hard line that runs across the front of the condenser on a 62. Anyone know the size of the male fitting on the hard line?
I'm chasing down a leak and plan to reseal the compressor at the same time. If nobody can help me locally today, will just call Rex at Coolstream.
Hi folks, just received a really comfortable, adjustable, and light Miller MP-10 passive helmet as a gift. First off, boy is it way better than the cheap AD helmet from Northern Tool I've had for 5 years or so. My view of the puddle and immediate surrounding area is significantly better at the...
I'm looking for a consensus on the following amongst Mudders with decent snow chain experience:
I could have available to me a set of diamond tread snow chains that max out at 31x9.5x15. My current tires are 31x10.5x15 (advertised).
How much of a chance is it that the chains would fit? Is that...
On a whim I decided to throw up a roll call of sorts for any fellow AZ unit 10 critter chasers this coming December.:cheers:
I plan on checking out my previous haunts around the public areas north of Williams and Seligman, plus 'Robber's Roost' NW of Boquillas Ranch.
I'm putting out feelers for a used third for a future project on my 62.
3.73 vs 4.10 unimportant, as I plan to rebuild it with 4.56 or 4.88.
I DD the cruiser (and am a hopeless cheapskate:p), so I'll regear in stages, hence the need for only one.
I live in Kingman, and occasionally hit the...
I've put this in tools, as it's not vehicle-specific.
Anyway, in gathering the supplies to do a moderate rehab on the cruiser's AC system, I picked up an el-cheapo venturi-style vac pump.
I tested the setup today and am questioning the adequacy of vac achieved when accounting for moderate...
I have two questions regarding checking the low-side pressures on my system which is still soldiering away running R12. I cannot find my old R12 gauge for the life of me, and I don't have time to wait for an order to arrive.
1. Any problem with simply transplanting some spare R134a adapters I...
I'm aware allthread can be found in several grades, but is anyone aware what grade the typical hardware store variety might be?
I recently used a 12" length that failed the job very quickly, and will replace it with a 12" bolt of grade 5 or so. I'm just looking for a point of reference as to...
I managed to get myself pretty stuck in mud and could use a tug. I'm sitting 600 yrds or so east of I-17 one exit north of munds park.
any help early tomorrow (friday) would be VERY appreciated. email is wileycoyote_az at y a h o o dot com. name's Mike, and yes I know i'm gonna hear crap about...
My wife really enjoyed the CO trout fishing from her youth. I've taken her to FL for snooks in the canals, to WV for smallies in the Potomac, and to the Flag area for summertime trout. Of course, I can't forget he CO river for stripers and cats. So far, nothing has compared to her preference, so...
Asked this in another thread without an answer, and my schweet search skills came up surprisingly empty. I'm sure it's been covered, I just couldn't find it.
Anyone ever post up a measurement of the fender lip to center of hub on a stock 60/62? Stock meaning OEM height, not 20 yrs of sag...
Looking for ideas (with pics/plans) for a DIY friendly built-in large ent center for living room. It will be home to the typical flat screen tv, several audio components w/ front and center speakers, game systems, etc. ya dig? I've looked online at what's avail pre-built and I don't like the...
I'd love to snatch this for parts, but too many irons in the fire for the time being.
No affiliation, just passing on a prospective 60 for parts:
Toyota Landcruiser - NO TITLE
I'm looking for good pics of a 3fe still installed in the truck, but minus intake/exhaust or other clutter on the left side. I'm scheming and need some fodder.:D
