My research has established that group 27 batteries are "correct" for 24 volt trucks. Group 24 batteries are dimensionally smaller and have less capacity than 27s but they will sufice.

What about 12v trucks?
Group 27 for cold climate and group 24 for hot climate.
That's what I determined as well, but Costco doesn't carry a group 27 equivalent. They have their own 'fitment code' not BCI Group size and as far as I could tell there is no equivalent to the 27 in their stock. The one I bought is the same height and width as the Group 27, but one inch shorter.

Installed new inner axle seals on my rear FF axle and replaced all the hardware holding the axles on the hubs.
Special thanks to Beno at Land Cruiser Parts & Consulting for getting me all these parts in a very short time frame at a price that can not be beat
Thanks buddy

Technically I didn't do anything to my Cruiser as much as I did something "for it".

Nice job, Joe... just completed a similar job. Suppose now is good time to show the other nut style available. For those that need it, these cap nuts provide both corrosion and impact protection for the threads. Onur can supply. Part number on request.
Lol. Ironically I bought all remaining stock of that style available in the US.
They are black and sexy.

Tray is finished for now....pretty happy.
just for fun, hear the mighty 2H roar 
While driving my 75 to dinner I came across this in a local campground. Of course I stopped to talked to the owners, a couple from Germany touring Canada and the US.
And of course took the opportunity to catch a pair of 75 series Land Cruisers...

Started on new bumper for the bj. Making it mostly out of a 78 inch piece of 3/16 wall 2x6 rect box. Will incorporate receiver for trailer hitch in center. This will also mount a warn 6000 on a slide in pin lok when needed. Will have a rear mount to. Picked up some lights to replace stockers. They are truly pathetic wouldn't lite up a moose at 60 meters and rut starts v soon the buggers will be a hazard. Bumper will hold 5.5 cubic ft of oba. Xtra resivoir for lockers and airing up. Lots of welding though to make air tite.
That seems like a poor design if you have to cut the body to mount a winch.
No thanks.
Yeah, probably. I'm a flight medic not an engineer. The bumper is serving its purpose.
Spent a bit if time pre-CruiseFest yesterday leading a group of club representatives, public officials, Tread Lightly and private land owner reps (ski resort) to discuss cooperative management options, expanded OHV designations and responsible ohv use. The BJ74 marvelled them all and made quick work of the technical sections. If you're not part of the solution... you're part of the problem.
Kurt even converted the hiker/skier/environmentalist gal into a 70 series fan! Look at that grin.
