What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[JDNs78FJ40]

B - I'd highly suggest getting a reputable supplier of a 2" ID fuel hose with a pre-molded 45 degree bend. A few years ago, I used the Goodyear (Continential) part number #59202 and cut it to size.

Exactly the one I used per @GA Architect thread. Ordered it on Amazon a while ago and it took a couple months to get here.

What is the source of the fuel filler hose? Mine is about to turn 48. It doesn’t leak fumes… but it’s due to be replaced.

What year is yours? I think I have a chunk left over for my 1970 that is a straight connection. If it works, I could send it your way.

Mine is a July ‘74 and has a bend. Thanks for the offer.

I’ll have to check again, but I’d thought the ends were different sizes. @GA Architect was this the case for yours? Is there enough stretch in a 2” 45* to make up for it if they are?

Being the OEM part 77217-60014 (9/72 - 1/79) is for your FJ40 and mine, I think using the same hose as I did would be alright. I don't recall a difference in size between the tank inlet vs the filler neck outlet. Note, both the top and bottom hose clamp calls for the same 96111-10670 part number, so maybe they are the same diameters?

At the time (2014), basically the only new direct replacement option was the filler line from CCOT. However, due to bad comments about the durability of their product, I searched for different solution. Thus the 2" ID Goodyear #59202 part I used. After 7 years, it still doing it's job.

I believe City Racer LLC now has a replacement for the 77217-60014 hose?

Finally wrapping up 4 speed upgrade. Drive shafts cut to fit. Ordered new OEM Toyota shaft bolts 90101-11468 replaced by 90105-11H00 (which are still available). Link here Note: they come with nut and washer. Painted transmission hump cover (restoring this took way too much time). I’m hoping to test drive it before first snow fall.

Replaced the latches for the toolbox under the driver's seat with OEM latches. The latches that I replaced were cheap knock-offs left over from our PO.
Happy Holidays Mudders!

Whoa! Definitely past its prime?

 

[bhsdriller]

Yeah probably by just a few years lol

 

[fyton2v]

Fixed a crazy rattle in my ambulance door, due to the spring in the lower latch mechanism being totally worn out. Now I can hear all the other rattles much better.

Got some freshly plated fuel pump parts in the mail today! Perfect timing to hang them on the tree

Fuel pump fittings for a 1976 fuel pump and a couple early 60s fuel pumps.

My carb drools gasoline when at rest. It flows thru the intake manifold micro crack, and thru threads on the BTB / Man-A-Fre products plate that is under it. Gasoline can get thru most anything, not hermetically sealed, but, for all realistic purposes, I'd not worry about it. Carbs that have big issues with throttle slop are usually aluminum castings. My suspicion is in the airhorn where the idle cut solenoid is has a siphon effect. I have like three solenoids, two have different diameters, and four sets of O-Rings for it, and at least two O-rings are different in how they measure. I eventually bought a new OEM carb, still drools when the conditions are right, makes the header smell when I start-up. I need a proper repair on the manifold so the problem is out of sight, out of mind.

The identification of a vac leak at the throttle shaft will be a distinctive vertical line on the interior of the throttle body, but, the only ones that I'd imagine doing that would be the clone aluminum ones, as the cast iron ones are pretty tough, although I'm sure that there could be exceptions.

Heard ethanol in fuel makes this wicking worse.

Heard ethanol in fuel makes this wicking worse.

Right, the vapor pressure of ethanol has got to have some kind of influence.

Got some new tires on the 40. 37 × 12.5 × 17 KO2s.

I think it makes it look like a bit like a mall crawler. What do you think?

New wheels have much less offset for the street, which is nice.

It finally started to snow, so I had to take a picture.

Widened city racer wheels with hubcaps? That would be cool but needs completely different tires, but it would add some shazam

Maybe, if they were 17"s I'd probably be ok with them. My front brake caliper clearance is really tight with some wheels, I'd bet they would get close or touch.

I like the KO2 performance on snow and street, but they aren't very aggressive looking. That's what the krawlers are for.
