Thanks mate, the snorkel & intake tubes I did make myself but the filter housing was by a guy who has a metal spinning bussiness. It was a prototype model, he has since revised it a bit more, it works great.

Well I dropped the transmission out today to take away tomorrow to have all it's internals put into another box. Hope it all gets done in one day 'cause it's a 6 hour round trip.

well stripped the transmission down yesterday & this is the output shaft

It's nackered to say the least

 

[D'Animal]

WOW!


How do you twist the output shaft? I have never seen that before.

She's definately seen better days. I'd say the skinny pedal was involved !!

To much weight in the right boot maybe, better remove the steel cap

Definate talking piece. It's getting a special place in the shed thats for sure .

Well I'm rebuilding my transfer case at the moment & have found that the low range output gear has 43 teeth. Now I work in a spare parts business & all of our contacts including aftermarket companies have no record of this gear. Even our local Toyota dealer says it wasn't a standard part. It doesn't need replacing but I would like to know If anybody on here has any info about this ratio. The transfer case is out of a '82 -'85 model cruiser.

got the motor painted today just have to clean up the alloy & change the injectors.

Wayne, did you work out where the battery is going to be relocated to?

 

[croozy]

Nah mate not yet mate, but i am thinking of sticking it under the rear seat if it will fit & relocating the speakers for the stereo.

I have never seen a Toyota Land Cruiser T-case like the one in Post #22.

Does it have a casting # or ID plate on it?

The transfer case is out of an HJ60 but the section in front of it is actually the adaptor. It's made by a mob here in OZ called marks adaptors. You can see the adaptor in the background of this pic.

I was looking at the front driveshaft nose cone. Yours does not have one.

Here is some pics of my soft top that a few guys have asked to see.
This shot shows where I cut the B-pillar off the canopy ( I still have to finish it off)

Now for the bows I used 1" tubing & bent it accordingly.
This shot show where I mounted it to the tops of the B-pillars

A couple of pics of how I fixed the other two bows,
first one is just mounted to the body using one of the canopy bolt holes.

This is how I mounted the rear bow I got this bracket from the local boat chanderly

 

[croozy]

I put bars between each bow to give it strength & it also holds tension on the top so it doesn't have any sag.

Inside I got the upholsterer to put small padded sections where ever there was a clamp so it didn't wear through.

I also had him put a full wrap on the two front bars so it didn't flap in the wind while driving down the road.

Also had him put a small tab just as the second bow rolled down the side for when the side windows are rolled up.

The top comes around the inside of the B-pillar & over the top of the doors & is fixed using press studs

Finsihed product still nice & tight & has been on the car for two years now & is always outside.
