Today’s repair class brought to you by @dennysdiner & @dennyshonduras Brake line cracked…seemingly an easy fix. Now to call @cruiseroutfit and see if they have the parts I need!

Maintenance is going to be a lot easier!

Got three Troopy window takeoffs from Land Cruisers Direct. Now I just need one more to complete the set!

 

[janyyc]

Any particular reason for replacing the windows?

Mine a pretty beat up with scratches on the glass and a good amount of wear on the steel. I’m slowly collecting parts to redo the old girl.

Sorry, just a quick question:
Has anybody a concept on or an argument against replacing those hard lines wit flexible lines?
I think it's a PITA to always disconnect the hard lines if the caliper needs to come off.
Probably stress from too much on and off that's why your line broke at some point?

Felde, i have no idea they switched to that style brake line,,,, never made sense to me, maybe someone can chime in some sensible reason.

Dunno why they do one over the other. The line broke because it wasn’t factory and I looked like it had been bent to fit. Honduras mechanics rarely do anything top notch in my experience.

I do like memorabilia. That’s my Toyota dealership sign. Eventually I plan to make an appropriate Mount and wire it up for the lights to work.
