What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (54 Viewers)

[fjc-man]

Toyota still supplies a replacement for a dual diaphragm booster 44730-22090 for like 45 bucks. That’s their “if you order it online” price.

 

[Marn0]

Rebuilt with some new parts, fresh lube and painted the Aisin locking hub dials and bezels. Torqued all lug nuts too.

Yeah, those wheel weights are the next to go.

BFG are notoriously hard to balance. Try rotating the tyre 180 degrees

Printed one of my Light knob designs. Still needs tweaking, but planning on creating a 4 knob set.
Lights, Wiper, Choke, Throttle, all the same size / design, just different letters. Maybe add a couple more options for AC, Heat, vent etc....

Damn! At least put some superglue on it and hold it closed while it dries.

that was after cleaning it out. Lol. Worked another 3 hours with it just wrapped in a bandage . I did superglue it eventually.

 

[KimoTheBJ40]

It will scar better if it heals open!

just saw this. Well I heard chicks dig scars.

 

[Krenie]

Fixing more rust. The hardtop rear brace was in pretty bad shape on the ends. Fixed one side, and am working on the rest.

drilled a bonus big hole at the bottom to spray an interior coating as well as allow for future water drainage... hopefully it will never see rust again...

A new resistor has the fan low speed working.

Rag Joint looks original..

The cruiser gods demand a blood sacrifice. I've lost count of my many cruiser related scars over the years. Make sure your tetanus shots are current.

 

[Catching Neutral]

Finally checked my gas mileage. 10.75mpg. Half of those miles came with only mechanical advance.
The other half with modified vacuum advance distributor. Will check again on to see if a full tank with vacuum advance gives better number

Day 1 pulled the rear suspension and removed the rear crossmember. Blood, sweat, tears were all shed.

Day 2 got the new cross member back in. New spring and ubolts. Left the shocks off for another day. Also installed my new trailer hitch receiver.

[RODRIGO SANCHEZ]

@ Toyodiy, hi there! Do you still have this part (67398-90801) ?

The fitment was damn near perfect on a perfect cruiser...which meant my rust bucket was off by just a smidge on most holes. Nothing a few drill bits and a BFH couldn’t fix.

I will say removing the factory rivets was much harder then I had bargained for. I chose to use bolts to put everything back together so I would never have to deal with those again. My frame is pretty rusted so a frame off restoration is probably in its future. Maybe in 20 years when I retire
