What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (37 Viewers)

[nor_cal_cyclist]

Working on drivetrain and suspension options for my upcoming body off frame rest-mod. Cat R2.8 vs LQ9...NV4500 or SM465 vs auto...linked coils vs SOA.

Decisions...decisions.

Met up with a couple of local Toyota aficionados for coffee and social distancing visit. 6 feet between each cruiser to the mm. Got to admire an Iron Pig as I had never seen one up close until a few days ago.View attachment 2300965

Went topless!

A first I thought you had an outboard motor mounted to the cow catcher.

I noticed in another thread that I was missing half of my FD knob mount so I made one.

It works, so I'll have to clean it up and paint it later.

I confirmed my reservation with Uhaul finally - picking up the Auto Transport trailer tomorrow morning in Stockton, then to Valley Hybrids to pick up my 40 from Georg and travelling home. Decided to pick it up myself instead of shipping it.
Haven't seen my 40 since Feb 26th - it kind of feels like Christmas Eve

New radiator.

It should work fine if you just did the front passenger and the front driver side (in that order); the rear brakes and brake lines are "upstream" (farther from the master) and shouldn't get air in them from opening the passenger front caliper. But if you feel any sponginess at all when your done then re-bleed all four.

In between Mother’s Day festivities I had a chance to piddle with the rear brakes that were off some after I installed the rebuilt MC
(one was locking down on moderate pedal)........
FSM in hand along with helpful advice from @1911 - Thanks Lee; I got the problem addressed - seem to be A OK!
Found out my ‘82 doesn’t have 2 wheel cylinders... just one at the top which I guess made it easier?
I didn’t have a brake tool for the adjustment unless this thing I found in my tool bag is one..... worked fine

Finally got club plates on, all electrics done and new shoes. Took it for a run. First one in two years.

While my interior was out again I took the time to install my advanced adapters slave cylinder mount. Some PO had created the scrap that was holding it at a less then ideal location.
