I was troubleshooting my slow-to-engage 4WD this evening and started where you found your clog. I had to lick my finger to even detect the vacuum down there. Traced it back to the vacuum pump (2H diesel, has a vacuum pump) and it was the first rubber line coming off of it. Removed the rubber...
So far I've sold four pairs with hardware. The ones in my own rig have shown no sign of warping after this hot summer, so they should be good to go! It's a bit of a pain in the ass to make them, but I'm willing to supply them to those who are interested.
Very colorful. I'm impressed that the leaves are gone out east! The Oregon White Oaks out here are still holding on to their nasty old leaves. We've had plenty of frozen nights, but the trees are just stubborn.
Installed a 600 watt coolant heater and attached it to a Wyze plug. I can now schedule it to be warm an hour and a half before driving to work! Not that a 24v Canadian Cruiser needs help (last year I managed to start it with only 5 working glow plugs in 5 degree F temps), but it's nice to be...
Awesome job! After a summer of hauling a boat on my Canada rack, I'm thinking that it needs to go. The rack purchases on the roof are fine, but I've managed to flatten the crossbars with the load of my boat and too much tension on the fastening straps.
Stopped at a beach park in Canada this summer, and a car show rolled in right as I was leaving. Suddenly, my old Toyota was not the most senior vehicle in the lot!
While I was shopping for 2H and other diesel Land Cruisers, I noticed a severe lack of videos on the Internet which detail these things just tootling along. Most videos are showing off a recent turbo install. I made a quick and dirty video of a ten minute hill climb flogging my stock 2H HJ60...
Is your illuminated A/C button factory? Mine's been braille indicated since who knows when.
In my experience, the A/C performance of the HJ60 is second to only a retrofitted 1960's Caterpillar D5B which literally formed icicles above my head while disking a field on a hot day. The Toyota puts...
Good afternoon,
I recently replaced the clutch, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, and resurfaced the flywheel on my 1986 HJ60. All of this effort was done to fix a noise coming from the pilot bearing. The noise went away with the new bearing, but now it seems that the throwout bearing is making...
Here's a Canada rack with a 13.5' boat on top. I no longer run the leader line and now use 2" wide rewinding ratchet straps from Power-Tye that are excellent.
@GarrettS Your BJ looks like a fun project. The previous owner was rather industrious with the chalkboard paint job! I'd say fill the holes with weld and then do all the other fillers and sealers on top of that. Sure, you could just seal them with bodge paste and it'd be watertight, but not for...
