Just kidding.
Airbox is still in it and the snorkel is here and will go with the cruiser when it gets a new owner eventually
It really does, great job.
Sometimes I wish a vehicle could talk... oh the tales they could tell! Especially a well travelled Land Cruiser....
Well I thought it went to a good home when I sold it but I guess life got in the way of the guy I sold it too.
Many people told me they wish they had bought it when I had sold it.
An early Christmas present 
arrived today..
All the Seals for the doors /w detachable tops and the hardtop and hoop.
Except for the lower seal of the left backdoor, (6788460020), which is NLA . If anybody has a lead on this to Europe, please let me know)
Also the seal between hoop and body, right side (6655990K01) is NLA, but I have a used spare of that.
Parts for the handbrake. Needs urgent attention.
Parts for replacing the oil hoses on the vacuum pump. Better I do those before they blow. Plus a diaphragm for the IP as a spare on the shelf.
Bulbs for the dash. Something is wrong here, thoug: Either the dash doesn't have T10 bulbs, or the green caps are too small. Dang it. Anybody an idea?
Plus some cone washers, calliper brake pipes to go on the shelf.
Plus new caps for the glow plug contacts. (You know, it's those small things that always catch your eye whenever you open the hood.)
So. Work is coming up..
Cheers Ralf

Bookmarked! @FJ73Texas is certainly my most bookmarked Mud member. Thanks for sharing (again).
Glad I could help. It is just lite tech is all.
Tech Lite is my favorite mid-summer beer.
Testing out one of @joekatana’s aftermarket fiberglass frames on our HZJ74 project.
So far, so great!

I started to take apart the steering linkage to replace the relay rod and tie rod ends and the steering damper. I got all of the castellated nuts off after having to deal with super rusted up cotter pins. I tried to use a pickle fork on the relay rod/pitman arm ball joint … no dice. Picked up a screw lever type at Princess Auto. Will try it, hopefully tomorrow.
In the process I discovered I have 4x4 Engineering leaf springs. The label was buried under a good coating of dirt.
Does anyone have any experience with them?

Yeah! Super cool. That engine has been in the Hilux for a while so everyone thought the 2.8 wouldn't be enough but reports are showing people dig it. I don't tow so I don't need a V8
