Onur, you probably have no idea how much reading about the Hole In The Rock trip changed how I want to live my life, who I want to surround myself with, and the vehicles I want to do it in.
I can’t wait to see this one back on the road.

Time to go ride some two wheel machines…

All right. Back from a week of riding bikes in California and Colorado. More progress this week!
Had a bit of time to visit my friends at Classic Cruisers:
Then lots of debauchery with single speed weirdos from all over the country…

Quick update: been awhile and as the old adage goes, my interest in working on my own junk is literally zero after spending 40-50hrs per week working on other people’s junk. 
One of the negatives of having my engine around is that it often gets used for parts to fix customer trucks: “Vacuum pump is bad. Wait! Onur’s engine has a new one let’s get that…”
Anyway, new vacuum pump acquired and installled along with another “let’s use it from Onur’s engine”…. Power steering pump…
Also, for those with 1PZ/HZ/HD family iteration motors, the PS oil reservoir soft line is not available in the US. 1FZ soft line will work…part ID/OD are the same. 1FZ soft line is about 7mm longer…. Works perfectly.
In other news, gave myself a hard deadline to finish this truck finally.
Signed up for Rubithon in Tahoe in June. Guess I need to finish my truck sometime soon here. Last time I drove the Con in my own rig was in 2009 in my old FZJ80. I’ve been plenty of times in the interim but has always been either hiking the trail and providing spotting/mechanical support or driving other people’s rigs.
Got some 4:1 transfer case gears coming from @orangefj45 to make Rubithon crawling a bit better. Get those installed and then mate xfer to trans and at that point we can drop the engine in and get it lined up for frame mounting modifications.
Going to do a bit more on a weekly basis to work towards getting her done soon and getting some miles on her.
Will need to get exhaust sorted out, wire up the rear Eaton locker, PS cooler, a bunch of electrical (going from externally regulated ALT to an internally regulated ALT), and a list of other small things.
Hope to have it done by May so I can shake her out for 4-5 weeks before making the long haul to Tahoe from Southern Arizona.
Kinda excited to be driving my own LC again. Been DDing my Prius for year now, and while I love my Prius, I do miss driving my own truck every once in awhile.

Little details matter:
Fuel inlet pipe support bracket… some engines omit this bracket or it gets lost in a rebuild. It’s a nice vibration damper for the fuel line. Note: 90119-10630 is a coarse thread pitch on the end that goes into the IP…
I like ZDDP additive in these old engines.
And 10 quarts of good Toyota juice…

some more little details:
New air intake from the front right hand fender:
Currently unsure of which acceleratorcable I’m going to go with; so I bought a couple to experiment with:
And there she sits completed. Now to work on the transmission and transfer case assembly and get that all squared away, so I can start the measuring process for install installing the engine.

Master awakens.
Part numbers begin to flow.
All is well again.

Do you happen to know what the ID is on that 1FZ hose? I need a piece of hose for my vacuum pump drain and they only have cheap junk hoses here where I’m at.
