What have you been doing with your Toyota?

[thetoyotaman]

and try as you might you'll never find each piece to clean out, remember crossin the border with my 55 back in the day. they weren't concerned about 22 brass but when they found that 45 empty i got to develope a personal relationship with the captain or whatever the canadians call their boss while the guys went diggin to find that evil handgun. at least they helped put everything back in, the one asked about how i had rock chips on the inside of the windshield and i knew enough to play dumb which wasn't hard for me. this was at the time we could buy sears for not much money at the gunshow and really make the ar sing. oh how i miss those days lol. never did get a Christmas card from the guy but i was expecting one

You got lucky to get help putting everything back. My dad an I crossed the border when I was a teenager with a pickup full of camping gear wearing camo jackets I believe and they scattered our stuff everywhere convinced we were hiding something. 3 hours later after repacking ourselves we moved forward.

Went to warm up the engine for an oil change and it stalled. I think the fuel pump may have given up. Will have to troubleshoot.

The inner seals are definitely leaking. It’s sludgy and mixed in the housing. I have the parts sitting on my work bench. I’m just waiting for a weekend I can tear into it and a time I want to get real dirty haha

Yeah, unfortunately that’s typically the case.

Started installing the methanol injection on the 80. The reservoir just clears. Use some Mr. T hardware to make it look nice.

Putting together the intake and intercooler system this evening. More aluminum tubing is on the way, I should be able to have it all wrapped up this weekend.

New 4ga battery cables for the pig.

Reminder, don’t let your heater control valve go too long. This one was off my daughters 96 4runner.

Glad you caught it Darren!

I got the 40 running last night for the first time in several years. Lots of little things to address but she’s alive again.

Those are beautiful! I'm going to have to step up my game.

Glad to hear that you got the 40 running again! I'm hoping to take a couple days off in the next week or two to rebuild the top end of my engine. I'm just so busy at work that it's hard to take time off.

Benji aka (diff eater) is back in the shop. Ready for another front diff. This is #5 for this truck since 16 or 17 when I bought it. Only 170k on truck. But reliably blows front diffs. Used. New. The last two were new arbs. It’s good training to have a lemon that will blow a diff high in the mountains though. Then have to field repair and limp down in 2wd.

 

[thetoyotaman]

With the ARB’s, did it blow the ARB or the ring and pinions?

 

[Bowser]

Never been ring and pinion any of them arb or not. Other than ruining the ring or pinion by the bits from the shrapnel.

Hills in Dugway claimed a couple. I have other 100s with twice the miles. Do fine. Just this one for whatever reason. It also
Has other mechanical failures. Non rusty Texas truck.

 

[Bowser]

Been test running Ruby last couple months. Ready for its first trip. Won’t be this clean long

They must have good taste.
As long as they don't probe me we can be friends.

You might not realize how lucky you are.

You have the only malfunctioning 100 series Land Cruiser ever built. It might be worth millions.
