What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (76 Viewers)

Today, replaced the manifold gasket(s). Had been running the Remflex gasket, did not work for me. Probably operator error. So I got a pair of Fel-Pro gaskets and a can of Copper Coat. I also had 6 of the metric plugs for the air rail holes, and while the manifolds were off, put those in too. Replacing the 1/4" NPT plugs I'd had in there.

Nice, what size thread are those allen plugs?

Dunno. months ago I threw an old air rail in the Pig and drove to the good metric store. I said "I need plugs" he said "OK, here". I said thanks.

JIS / 1/4" British Standard Parallel Pipe was the answer the last time it came up on Mud. Basically, metric only exists for spark plugs. JIS piggybacks the British system in the most meaningful specs.

Toyota sells the proper delete plug without threads on the tip - like the air rail has. I like the ones that I got from Jim C, which came with two air cleaner plugs, one which I could use on the nozzle of my Blitz plastic Jerry can. I needed a fractional set of Allen wrenches to install the plugs.

Some basic maintenance- greased the chassis, adjusted the brakes, topped off the gear cases and inspected the rear differential.

Got the top off, replaced plugs, wires, rotor, cap, fuel filter and gave it a bath. Then drove it.

It looks like you live in my neck of the desert. I am in NW Tucson.

That was Saturday. Yesterday I drove it to my parent's house.. 16 miles total or so. THen drove it to work this morning. 20 miles around trip. I plan to daily it to work for the next few weeks... get the shakedown done so I can actually take it on a trip this summer! Been a LONG and frustrating year and a half, but man... I am totally in love with the 2FE. So much better then the turd 350 was. So strange to cold start my cruiser in the morning, and have it start in half a second and idle perfect... but strange in an awesome way.

There is nothing better than doors and top off on a '40 in this weather and surrounding. McDowell in the bg?

Fabricated defroster vent guides

I thought it would be cool to have a first aid kit under the dash.
I pained an ammo can and fab'd up a bracket.

A lot of photographers would consider that photo worth wall mounting.

Installed a rifle case for car storage. And if all hell breaks loose I will fill it with guns 🛠🗡
