Working on a 67 barn find. Pretty much complete. Runs when fueled down carb, but can't get fuel from tank TO carb. Fuel line is clear from tank to carb. Tank needs to be cleaned out, but fuel siphon tube is full of rust and sludge. Got the first 11 inches cleared out butno luck on the...
Howdy! It has been a little over a year since ToolsRUs passed, and I am finally going thru the shop sorting out all of the Land Cruiser parts that he had accumulated. So far I have cleaned up and identified 4 carbs, 3 igniter/coils, and 1 dizzy. I have another dizzy that I am confused about...
Frame/suspension was heavily modified, so I dont think anyone would try to take it back to stock OEM, but anything is possible with enuff cubic $$$. And, it could be a Chevy small block on 4 links holding Dana 60s for a rock crawler by now. Just hoping somone remembers enuff of its history to...
It is, or was, a bit of a rare bird, so that's why I thought it might of been noticed by a Mud member over the years. I know that it may be NOTHING like it was back then, but I am compelled to make the effort.

We use a lot of GREEN GREASE, but we use it exclusively for driveshaft slip joints and ujoints. This stuff is really thick and does not migrate away from the working surfaces.
it does NOT contain any moly, so I would not recommend it for steering knuckles. We use Schaeffer's 5% moly there...
On my last v8 rig, I recored the stock radiator with a much better unit and relocated the lower hose fitting so I could run a 19" solid fan. Old school simple, and it ran cool in the summer while wheeling in the desert.
Start with the basics. Have you checked to see if the diff is properly filled with lube? If so, I would do a drain and fill so you can see if there is a lot of loose metal in there. Do the cheap n easy first, then move on to things like pulling the diff cover.
Years ago, I heard that the crosses in my FJ55 steering column were the same as those in the PTO shaft. I replaced one in my steering using one from an early Corolla? Driveshaft. Fit perfect. Took the old part into a NAPA store and they measured it with a micrometer to match it up.
