So @Gordobe was here a few days ago and took a glovebox door with him, then he calls and says the inside of door says it has berens- hone-o-drive, never seen one, can you tell what it is by crawling underneath?

Getting tired of not having a pig. @PabloCruise is an enabler. Maybe now, after 6 years in the sty, I can make PP24 or SSS “Pumbaa” because @wngrog already took Warthog. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1978-toyota-land-cruiser-fj55-2/ Not in love with the wheels or the pushbar on the bumper.

2024 is going to be awesome!!!

This little nub broke off clean from the bottom of the channel that holds the glass. I’ve tried welding it but the weld doesn’t stick. My knowledge of welding is limited, but it feels like this isn’t regular steel and so it’s not melting together. I’ve tried coming up with a bolt together...

So I have exhausted my searches looking for a wiring diagram specific to a 1974. While I was trying to figure out some wiring under the dash I noticed that the buzz/hum I was hearing was coming from my wiper motor motor. Seems along the way it must’ve been frozen and burned the plug. All the...

Hello pig owners, Gauging interest here on windshield demand. Shop I worked at for a number of years can get supposedly. Price out the door $250. Shop is located in San Luis Obispo, California. Roughly 3 hours from San Francisco or Los Angeles. I’d be willing to assist with shipping but it...

OK I am finally cleaning out my storage and getting rid of all my parts I have been hoarding for years. Sigh. My 40 projects are taking up all my time and $$ and my pig dreams will have to wait. Probably selling my 2 project rigs also.... Everything is in Denver, near Santa Fe and Belleview. No...

Long story short I was waiting for the boys at the bus stop in Marge when I guy pulls up next to me and says, “I have one of those. You should buy it from me.” Finally went to peak at it this afternoon. Been sitting under a tarp for 2 years, 15 minutes from me further up in the woods. It’s...

Hope all my pig brothers are ok during this storm, stay safe

Hard to be ectastic about acquiring Chris Delancy's prized show pig after the circumstances. However, I think Chris probably approved and was smiling down on me with my shyt eating grin a little while cruising down the highway effortlessly. Little back story here, as Chris was still doing...

Drove this little jewel to a show at the Irvine Amphitheater. I don't know how long ago. All I remember was a flat bed tow company guy escorted me in the last mile or so with all his lights going. The parking lot party was classic.

I've decided to sell the 73 body I was going to transfer to my 70 rig. after doing a few 40s and replacing my roof on my 55, 25 years ago, I don't like doing it. It's dirty, it takes to long, I don't really have the space to do bodywork and I'm getting to old to make it worth the swap.. The...

Honest answers on why you would buy the least sought after, most Rusty of Landcruisers needing the most attention 🤔🧐😳😯. Beside being a DumbAss 😘🤣🤣. And painting it ( ****ING GREEN!) WTF would you you buy it 🍰🍦🧁Cheeks 😳😯😘🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not sure this is the correct forum, but it’s been good so far. I have a 3FE in my 55, and the engine has developed a howl at the pulley on the front of the crank. While diagnosing, I removed the pulley from the crank and the noise stops. Question is why would the pulley cause a howling sound...
