Andy-
I've got some pieces to look at. Also have the toyota seals. Something that needs to be seen in person as there are 1000 pieces to the hardtop

Give me a summary Braswell. Maybe between us we can put a whole one together?

I think I can source all the small bits, mainly looking for the main pieces.

I have just about everything. Some small rust on a drop pole side.

Not sure I will sell the doors for the front

 

[ntsaint]

I don't need doors. I have front and rear doors.

all I need is the fiberglass top, rear hard sides, and rear cross member (above amby doors).

 

[Nottajeep]

You are welcome to look at this... I'm interested in selling the whole set now that I have a soft top. PM me your email and I will send some pics

I just took my 78's top off if you need me to post up the different parts for you to inventory.

Thx man. I have a complete top also. It's just trashed.

 

[MEMCruiser]

Paki-top. If i ever get another it will look like braswells. You end up with hardtop off about 9 months out of year and the whole dog situation is a pain in arse when you got the bolted on does not open tailgate on all summer.

1973 Toyota Land Cruiser

Got to be a scam.

Saw this beauty at the hotel tonight. Man. So clean. So original.

Odo said 77,000

These are the Who Needs a Road tires......

 

[FJ60Cam]

Those tires are screaming for a Mt. Aetna cut.

Guys I know I've asked it before but I can't find what I did last time.

Oil in the 40...2F. What's my best bet on make and weight?

 

[FJ60Cam]

paging @jasonbraswell ...

I used the big jugs of diesel grade 15W40.

 

[ntsaint]

I THINK that's what i used last time, Rotella 15w40.

@jasonbraswell gonna hit me with some ZDDP stuff i'm sure

 

[Nottajeep]

I have only found one oil (reasonably priced) that is designed for flat tappet engines.
Mobil 1 15w-50, usually available at your walmarts

If your pistons don't work, don't blame me.

 

[Bomar]

But the ZDDP engine break in stuff for the oil.

 

[wngrog]

ZDDP man. s***.

 

[Godwin]

Rotella 15-40 and add this Crane Cams 99003-1, Crane Cams Super Lube Break-In Concentrate | Crane Cams.

Guys need a little help. Bout to show my ignorance here I'm sure.

New radiator on the 40. Drained the old one and block when I changed it out.

Went to refill today, and only 1.5gal of coolant went back in before radiator was full. Tried elevating the front end, no help. Tried running it for a second, no help.

Checked the block drain, fluid flows out fast when I open it.

Did I just not drain it entirely before? I know for a fact that more came out than I've put back in. Scratching my head...

If I run it, fluid backs up out of the radiator...

 

[offr0adlim0]

Have you let it run so that the thermostat could open?

 

[offr0adlim0]

Engine needs to get to operating temp to open
