Baby’s first Landcruiser ride!
Baby Elliott, wife, Charlie pup, and the Honda CT110 all fit pretty well & I hauled them all to her sisters house today. It was like 70° out today so we hungout on the front porch & I hit some laps in on the 110.

Still got a list of s*** that I wanna do, but I have just been driving when the roads are clear of salt....
Need to get a new steering box from @jkdur728 I don't think the gouge in the case of mine is salvageable, it's been apart several times, and it ain't getting better..... maybe I can cruise down his way and say hey.
Need to I need to get the overdrive gears in, running good, but I have the Sumo overdrive gears sitting here
Cruise control, would be nice, I think I have everything
some insulation on the floor to quiet it down a bit
A custom tune, I have been holding out to find the right shop, but need to make some calls and get it done
RevISK
SILVER Star
Nice shot man.
I like that he got the little air freshener hangy thingy to hang just right off the mirror.

Finally found the time to reachout to @jkdur728 and get a new steering box. He was busy but had a few minutes to meet so I drove down and picked it up.
I stopped by the Blandy Farm on the way back and snapped some pictures while I walked the dog and got the baby down for another nap in his carrier. It felt like spring today, so it was the perfect unexpected Land Cruiser adventure.
Hoping I can clean this box up and get it in, the whining power steering pump has been annoying, but the inconsistency in the steering has been worse. For those that are curious, that bird next to the moon is a Northern Flicker (Yellow-Shafted, Male). I don't really know what that means, but it looked kinda cool. The squirrel would be more exciting if I was carrying Grampa's 410, but Virginia is a commonwealth, and I am not sure how they feel about blasting squirrels in their State Arboretum.

New Box is cleaned up and painted up and installed, cycled it through lock to lock about 10 times in the air, then started it and did the same with it running, going to cycle it a few times tomorrow and run it and see how it does.
Everything seems to be lined up, sectorshaft mark is in alignment with the pitman arm, steering wheel is centered, and it seems like the tires move the same amount either way, but you know how it goes, if you miss it by a tooth it will look funky on the highway, so I will test drive it and see where it's at.

Pump is in and put 75 miles on and it fixed the issue, so far no fluid leaks, but I haven't quieted down the PS Pump whine... I am going to swap it out since it was a Advance auto rebuilt pump.... curious if it has damaged it driving it with the wine for a while. I know its ont a new genuine GM pump, but I got it so I can swap it out a few times at the local parts store 
. Steering is a lot tighter now, and that inconsistency is gone so I am thrilled. And yes I bled the system several times and cycled it lock to lock on the lift w engine off, then engine on (still in the air). no visible leaks and everything is tight.

I remplaced a rear door lock actuator with one I found a while ago on ebay, that gets me to mostly 3 of the 4 doors reliably working..... I also found a cheapo rear door window switch to replace my broken switch in the right rear.... the metal tabs were broken off so the switch was just hanging by the wiring.
New cheap swithc is mounted in the door card in the background, it doesn't quite match, but at least its not just hanging by the wiring now.
Here's the old actuator with the missing rod I replaced with a piece of a coat hanger a while back.
I have had project taco apart on the lift again, trying to get it ready to finally sell, trying to get rid of a noise that I suspect is a bad hub bearing.....needless to say, I haven't put much effort into the landcruiser lately.
