Overlanding. Sorry. I forgot. I thought we were just camping. LOL

I am here
The after pic almost looks as if the hot tank was a little too strong for the aluminum. Maybe that's what @cruiserdan was referring to?

Yeah, no doubt. The bearing was making noise over the past week, just finally failed yesterday (metal shards, locked up), I already had ordered the new clutch and luckily it arrived yesterday. Timing and luck, and LandCruiser sturdiness. I'll take a little luck where I can these days.

Properly wasted.How’s that for a wasted drive flange and toasted splines on the birfield.

No idea what Dan means exactly.
I think you are seeing tank residue.
A person could polish this with a buffing wheel but that is more time than we have planned-allowed for this engine build.

I was thinking that the rest of the engine looked nice and new so the valve cover looked out of character.
Leaking rear diff pinion. First thing to do was sort out the breather
Took the hose off. The valve was missing, the fitting was worn down to a stub and it was really crusty. Didn't want to come off. It rains a lot here and they salt the roads...
Hit it with penetrating oil. Drank tea. Thought about sheared off axle fittings. Hit it with heat. Quenched with more penetrating oil. It came out in one piece.
Fitted the ARB breather kit
Took the fill bung out of the diff expecting it to need a top up. Started overflowing. I guess someone over filled it with an injector. Don't know if that could contribute to leaking.
Will monitor over the next week to see if it's made an difference. Would prefer to avoid the great IH8Mud crush tube debate a while longer if there's a simpler solution.
Not done the front breather yet so only one hose on it. On my '97 there's some kind of expansion box arrangement on there that requires investigation first

Packing for an over nighter tomorrow.
Does this count as a rooftop tent because I really want to be a hipster
I mean it is a tent and it's on my roof.....

5"diameter chrome fartcan, as requested.Add some stick on everywhere chrome. A big huge fart can?
Minor bodywork done. Hired a shop to paint the bumper and fix the dents in the valance. They also repaired the only spot of rust on the whole truck. I am pretty happy how it turned out. Got it put back together and spent an hour cleaning off that dreaded bodyshop dust. Love the smell, but what a mess inside and out.
Paint, new grill, logo in Duplicolor "Shadow" black, new park lamps, new OEM wiper blades. A good weekend!
Debating weather to paint that suspension or just coat it with FlexFluid to keep in original. Truck is very clean and rust free overall. This rust spot was caused by a life on country roads and dust/dirt compacted in the fender well.

Wow the front bumper looks good, mine looks similar to your before picture. Do you know the paint that was used?
They are 285/75/16s. I’ve never run Firestone Destination A/Ts before, so I’m giving them a try. Got about 2,000 miles on them so far.
