Build What did you do to your Land Cruiser/Toyota/Lexus 4X4 this week?

[rctoyota]

Over the last 2 weeks I performed some much needed 100 repairs and maintenance

Replaced timing belt, timing belt idlers and tensioner, engine water pump and thermostat, the common leaky T hoses behind the engine, spark plugs, fuel filter and new blower motor for a clicking sound.

The Subaru's windshield is getting fixed on Wednesday after getting a second chip that has cracked.

Brand new windshield installed yesterday afternoon.

Brand new chip first thing this morning.

Brand new claim tomorrow?

 

[Otter]

Brand new claim tomorrow?

Isn't the usual limit two claims per year or something?

This is why I let the damage build up until it cracks.

I covered every last inch with Arizona pin striping. So I guess it's time to take it to the next level!

I got a hit yesterday on 101.

That's why I perfer dirt over pavemnet, safer for windshields.

Have a question on five lug wheels. My early 70s trailer made from a Toyota pickup shares the same bolt pattern as the later Toyots cars. What other manufacturers share the same pattern. I have two good 16" tires from my 4Runner. Have tires on Camry rims. Would like to find some cheap steel wheels to mount them. Option B would be to find someone who could switch spring perches to a FJ40 axle. Not a welder.

Well you can't visually see it, but just had a Tcase leak fixed and 3:1 low range gear installed in the FZJ80 by none other than CBT.. man what a difference in crawl decent and low end torque!! Thanks Murf! You guys rock!

Joined some friends in a Sportsmobile, and drove the Mojave Rd 120 mi from the Colorado River to Afton Canyon, CA. 3 trail days and 2 nights camping. Several small side trips too.

Below; NV/CA state line, Watson Wash (toughest part of the trail), lava tubes, Soda Lake, crossing the Mojave River.

I got to finish up installing OME Bushings for the front half of my 80. Lots of fun pulling it apart!

Just finished up last weekend's project. New Alu-CAb Gen III with the Shadow awning. Looking forward to testing when I can find the time. A big thank you to Rin from Ok4WD for getting me this set up in time for Overland Expo.

Pulled and cleaned the Oil Level Sensor ( OLS ) that was sending random light triggers despite being at full level.

I hope this does the trick because I don't want to spend $460 for a new one.

TIP- Be VERY careful not to over tighten the 10mm screws, the casting is soft and more than "snug" and the threads strip right out Fortunately the holes are threaded about 1/4" deeper than the original screws so a longer 10mm will grab and hold.

All cleaned up and hoping it works better than the new Toyota 89491-60010 Engine Oil Level...

Toyota 90430-27001 is the correct gasket P/N

Cleaned and ready for new gasket
