I like your ingenuity, but that looks like it will be rrrrrrattttlllllllyyyy . .Maybe a piece of heater hose between jack and clip to tighten it up?

Did you have a full tank?
It must have picked fuel out the cap.
If it was the filler neck it would drain under the tank. All that is inside the tank.
Tank was full and it definitely came out the cap. Wasn’t parked on a steep slope and hasn’t done it since. Well...no one freaked out over the picture so I’ll mark it up as a fluke and run her.
I spent 2 hrs today fixing a leaky toilet tank when I should of been packing for cmcc.
How long was it parked in that spot? Tank looks to be black, if it was there for a good portion of the day with the sun beating on it was probably just some good old fashioned pressure release. Especially if the tank was full.
Wow,, I just finished up Monday afternoon, new rear lower control arms, and new bushings in front track bar.. I'm ready..
Use the same ones. Bullet proof!
It was a math thing. new arms were about the same price as bushings and pressing... those metaltech ones are nice, way nice...

Yup, just make sure to keep the jam nuts tight. I had the nut come loose on the right side, and it destroyed the threads on the tube and joint. You can't see this with the truck on a lift. I only realized it when I started getting a loud bang/clunk.
Not on a 1969. The filler dumps straight into the tank. It only has a breather.
Have a new Johnny joint for the same reason.
Had to cut mine out. But they will take a beating on the trail.
Couldn't let @jamarquardt22 upstage me with working AC for Coal Miner...
Pretty "cool" for an old rusty truck.

decided i wanted new shiny and bright lights to replace the tired oes ive been nursing way too long for some reason.....and apparently had an early senior moment. the 75 is built on the bones of a 77. not much left that is 77, but the wire harness is one of them.
so i was faced with some disappointment this morning as i tried to plug the new lights in.
lucky decades of ownership and nearly the same of mud time has learned me that toyota rarely makes large changes, this was no exception.
73-75 used a simple four slot plug, the 76-L used a weather resistant four slot plug, but the actual male and female prongs are the same....so ten minutes later....new lights with an old plastic plug.

I cleaned up the rear fender flairs and side mirrors on the 80 and resprayed them. Not too shabby with a rattle can from automotivetouchup.com and the first time using a HF HVLP spray gun on the clear.
