Haven't done anything to the LandCruiser this week, except to fill up the gas tank today. In doing so, I discovered that behind my locked gas tank door, the cap was missing!. I must have left it sitting on the running board the last time I filled up. I asked the attendant if it was in the lost and found, and looked around the parking lot, but it's been a few weeks since I filled up last, it is long gone
. It was an old vented version of the gas cap, and I was just continuing to use it until I could get the new charcoal and vent system hooked up. Anyway, so I put the factory non-vented cap on that I had in the glove box, and now I guess my new lines for the vent have been moved up on the to-do list. Need to get some of that ni-cop line in the correct diameter first. I just hate losing that thing
. The non-vented cap with the old rusted vent lines does build up some pressure, so I just have to be careful with that. Well, no pictures of the missing cap. I hope the rest of my 40 friends have a better week!

if you have a NON-VENTED gas cap on your 1978 FJ40 621 Rustic Green... then she ain't STREET LEGAL now any more since 2021 ...
- this is the ONLY OEM toyota Gas cap for a 1978 FJ40 , its design feature is ONLE way venting inward ONLY , not OUTWARD ...
- i suspect your little white plastic check valve is your issue greater then a 51% chance it is ....
- or
- i say 49% chance you do not have this oem gas cap below maybe ?
- report back after you review the links and TECH below
thanks

The jeep or the duckies?
Did a little work on the passenger floor pan. The patch panel didn’t fit at all so hand formed panels out of pieces of my old fenders. Coming together pretty well. Stoked on forming the correct curvatures. Still have lots of clean up to do and I’m waiting on that Milwaukee bandfile to show up so I can clean up my welds in the recessed area between the door frame and the passenger seat hump.
looks pretty good. where did the poorly fitting panels come from?
Need to replace the rear wheel bearings. Thought it'd be easy with the horrible freight bearing puller, but it wouldn't open large enough to catch the bearing. So I went to the local auto parts store and asked if they had the rental bearing puller. They did, and I thought I was lucky since it was brand new. Still no luck. I found that the spacers wouldn't fit and I need to hold a nut behind the puller deep in my axle housing.
So I decided to build one:
Used some strap iron and drilled 3/8th inch holes to secure to the caliber mounts. Doubled up couple more strap iron pieces, welded them together and drilled a 3/4 inch hole in the middle. Ran some all thread through the "right size" punch I had and threaded it through the 3/4 in hole. Tighten it down on two 1" tube legs and welded it together. Got the bearings loose, I just don't know if there are races and/or if I can get them out.
I'm hoping to use it to push them back in as well.

With my wife’s help to pump the pedal, I finished the first full overhaul of the rear brakes on my LWB in the 29 years that I’ve owned it. Always dodged the full overhaul before by honing the cylinders on the truck.
Made some new brake lines while I was at it. And for that, I give thanks to MUD. I learned about both the Nicopp tubing and the flaring tool from this forum.

Also ..........
- i felt the time was right and the time is now , to bring this to the table , since TOYOTA has Disc. / NLA the basic longer coil wire ignition cord set , they only now offer the shot coil wire version for a cylinder head mounted coil ?
- - - odd choice since the longer one could well achieve both applications , where as the short one cannot ?
- the FENDER mounted Ignition COIL is the best possible location to mount your set up Hands Down ....
- applications : F , F1.5 , 2F , 3F CARB
- this needed OEM parts solution is needed right away
- because , some circus clown will come along with a SUMMIT Racing monkey business stand alone Ignition Coil Wire , and claim it's the 2nd coming of TEq .........
- NO , that's NOT how this will play out , ONLY a true MADE IN JAPAN OEM parts maker NON-USA Substitute made for these application's need will do here ...
- a Genuine OEM SUMITOMO LONG REACH @ 23" is here now , and here to stay
- so here we are and there we go ...

The duckies would make nice 100m targets but the plastic wouldn't degrade. Be as bad as shooting bottles!

Matt: For completeness sake Vintage TEQ should also bring back from the dead the corresponding union that this valve screws into (I believe it is PN#90404-16164). That way folks could source from you the complete new shiny assembly for a true Plug 'n Play. What do you think?

This is the Newly Designed Valve Mark ,
It requires NO adapter , or additional Fitting for plug and play
The valve threads directly into a Cylinder Head or your Water Pump in fact too …
This is NOT the smaller FJ60 oil cooler system shut off valve that you remember from a few years ago ……
It’s much larger in size then then it’s little oil cooler system brother
this valve WILL directly install and thread into ANY Land Cruiser Cylinder head in the F series platform : Siamese F , F1.5 , 2F , 3F Carb.
and ........
FIRST generation Siamese F water pumps that have the FEMALE equipped Threads to install the HEATER HOSE bib , that then runs along the SIDE push rod valve cover , like i think you actuality have going on , correct ?

Real Steel. Wasn’t the right shape and didn’t extend to the rotted areas. Hoping the driver side is better
