I’m honestly not sure when it could’ve been stored away.We’ve had “Larry the Landcruiser” in the family since new in 1977. I will have to take a closer look later on and see exactly all what’s in there.
Thanks! I was trying to figure out if that was something Landcruisers came with. Love finding out stuff about these trucks.
I also have a yellow jack and what appears to be handles/extensions would that be something that came with cruisers as well?
Thank you for the information!
I would bet it would fit... but maybe its time for a radiator flush and test fit.
What would you recommend for a flush? I’ve tried distilled water but it doesn’t really do much. I don’t have any overheating issues but coolant is orange/rusty.I would bet it would fit... but maybe its time for a radiator flush and test fit.
I appreciate the info
Sure ,
all that you need to do is determine the thread pitch and diameter of the SMALLER aftermarket correctly positioned plastic wing-nut plug , it WILL most likely be metric , due to the country of original parts maker i believe this particular set up is , but we need to be 100% certain here in every single way , because cross threading this new one leaves ZERO room for that ,,,,,,

When was the last time the coolant was replaced? What coolant are you currently running? I would think a simple drain and refill with 50:50 mix (either classic green or Toyota Red) would suffice. But if the coolant is fouling quick, then maybe a serious flush is needed.
I redid the coolant lines and changed the coolant Toyota 00272-1LLAC on Halloween probably the first time it had been done in years it had sat for a while, then this past weekend I drained the coolant and filled it with distilled water let it get to operating temp then cool then drain both rad and block repeated that a couple times and coolant/water was still orange.
