Appalachia Cruisers
sweet, good luck
I'm sure it'll be fun, and interesting! My friend has built a few sets, but it's my first go at it. Hoping they turn out pretty good!
07 FJ Cruiser. Appalachia Cruisers. TLCA #22753.
Thank you.
Started working on the rear end yesterday. Got the third pulled and sure enough the paper gaskit was toast. Put the RTV on last night. Now playing the waiting game for the RTV to set up. Gonna refill the differential after work.
Hoping this takes care of my problem!

Shawn sand blasted some hinges for me and damn, these look better than new! I'm so excited! They're going to be the best looking parts on the truck!!!
Thanks again Shawn!!!
Thanks again Shawn!!!
Radiator replacement. Very Fun
Put a reman power steering gear box on and a troll hole carb on the 60. If I get time tomorrow I am going to replace the pressure plate. I also picked up a sthil 192 climbing saw for the back of it.
Where are the pictures of the Stihl....
Cool! Let me know how you like the carb. Thinking about one for my 40. Did it have a hookup for the charcoal canister?
Picked up my 60s today. 90 miles into a 100 miles trip, I had an oncoming F-250 crew cab wait until I was 50 feet away from him to turn off in front of me. Thankfully, he stopped short at the last split second and didn't total the pretty nice daily driver Land Cruiser that I just bought.
They are a decent carb. There is only one vac port and that's for the dizzy. I have always had mine hooked up to the air cleaner.
Here is the saw. I keep the bar and chain off to keep it more compact.
I played with the saw some yesterday and it's well balanced. Ez start and you can operate it with one hand. The best thing is with sthil now if you buy a 6 pack of synthetic mix it extends the warranty for 2 years. My neighbor is a full sthil dealer which is good and bad lol
Finally! After 3 months of waiting, my AllPro rear lift came in just before Thanksgiving. Anyone with a garage interested in helping me install it on the 14 Tacoma? It shouldn't be too bad, rear leaves, shocks, and extended break lines...
Finally making some progress again on the 40. Cleaned up headlight buckets, pedals, booster and some misc parts and got some paint on them
Cut my stearing column shaft. Need to weld the yoke on and install the collapsable shaft for the power steering conversion.
Ordered some wire from Coolerman. Harness is unwrapped and in good shape. Going to add some circuits and wrap it back up.
Ordered a variety of parts from Advanced Auto at 25% off. New front calipers, voltage regulator, some fluids, etc. Should be getting two $25 coupons and a $50 on future orders. Plan to order new brake master, clutch master and slave.
Replaced the windshield washer pump. Actually found one at Autozone for $13.99. Sure beat the $50 or $90 other places wanted.
Determined my tank was shot. Ordered a new one last night from CCOT. Metal reproduction tank for $230. Shipping wasn't too bad at around $30.
My birthday is Thursday and I hope my wife got me some new emblems, shifter boots, a few little things I need.
Got my gauge cluster half way done tonight. Got my bracket conversion kit and installed mechanical gauges.
Need to pick up some orange paint for the needles tomorrow and install the E-lighting kit and the cluster should be in good shape. I'm anxious to get the wiring harness back in and start installing the rest of the gear.

I'd help but I'm supposed to be on light duty for 4 to 6 weeks and my garage space is pretty limited. I could come out and lend a hand though, let me know.
Thanks Jack, if I find a garage to work in, I will let you know, with the weather as of late, I'd like to be inside somewhere. Unfortunately I can't work on it at my place, the driveway sucks and I don't have the use of a garage, or I'd just do it here.
Does anyone know of a DIY shop here? In Denver there are shop where you can rent a bay from a full blown shop by the hour, all tools, lift, and what not.

Neat, I don't know of any places around here that do that. In fact, the only place I've ever seen like that is the hobby shop on military bases.
Yeah, no fun working outside. If you can't find a better place, we can do it here. I'm 4 miles east of Seymour.
