well the cruiser is back in victoria in its new role as my daily driver.

The aftermarket tank will not fit under the aqualu tub... at least not as far as I can tell there appears to be a cross brace too far back on the bottom of the tub compared with stock. I will post pictures in the next couple of days.
 
damn still givin out free beer? Must be costing more than the truck by now...:flipoff2:

btw, I rented a budget truck with hiab and had a wee little boat lowering ,keel chiselling while boat dangles above head in a sketchy manner gong show over the weekend.

you'd think, that when something that weighs 700 pounds has the bolts holding it removed, it would just drop off.....:bang:
 
Here's a couple of pictures of that mirror I threw together... quick and easy way to add a mirror to a mirrorless cruiser... cheep too !

hey stephen swing by and i can give you 4 spares, little dry rot but michlein ltx's 32x11.5x15 at least 50% left each do it soon though before the tire recycle guy picks up my scrap tires.
 
yes they are at the shop. i will be working late on cams bj60 thursday night you are welcome to come take them call me on my cell 250-889-6398
 
so I'm changing the oil in the transmission, transfer case and diff's ....

Here's the question:

How much oil is the transmission supposed to have in it? When I opened the fill plug on flat level ground I was supprised when a liter or so of gear oil came out the filler in addition to the oil that later came out of the drain plug.

It was my understanding that you simply fill the transmission up to the filler hole and not further. Is this correct?
 
did you drain the tcase first, and was there much in it?

sometimes they'll pump their oil into the tranny, and you get an overfull tranny. running a hose between the filler plugs works to keep things level.

I was too cheap to buy the kit, so I drilled and tapped a couple fill plugs for npt many moons ago, one of those temporary fixes that kinda got permanent...:hillbilly:
 
ya... I just chatted with ken about it and he suggested the same thing. I suppose I'll have to do the same thing... the transfer case was not empty... probubly a L or 1.5L in it... but it sounds like this is whats happening.

Also it would appear that whoever last did the oils did everything except the front diff as it was probubly twice as hard to get open... and twice as dirty
 
well I got a fuel tank... stock it's in great shape thanks to adam for the lead on that one. I also picked up a toyota service manual, and a bra top....

the guy sold his cruiser and has tones of spare parts around lots of tranny's/transfer cases and other good stuff too... he's got an ad up on used vic.
 
Got bored and dragged up my old thread... lots of good times reading through all of my stupidity!

Free beer reminded me that Cam's going to come out and give me a hand tomorrow so I double checked my fridge to make sure there was enough :beer:!
