What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[Vossie]

Adding more toys to the rig. Next on the list is the remote start, alarm and push to start. I already had a push button start but this is at least more OEM feeling, if you were in a 200 series cruiser that is....


Now I can start cleaning up the dash and interior. Got a lot of stainless cover plates to design, cut and finish for my end game plan.

I should probably start a build thread....

How do you set pinion angle with it off the truck? I ask because ever time I see spring pads getting welded to an axle they seem to set it with the weight of the truck on it.

cheers

This is a 60 sua axle. Simply mimic the stock angles... Nothing to it and doesn't need to be on, off, loaded or unloaded.

Note to self:
Make sure a lizard isn’t camping out in your special funnel before you pull the transmission plug.

Do you have a coolant leak from the heater??

Do you have a coolant leak from the heater??

Possible, although it’s never wet in that area but rather a crusty residue after I use the heat…. I just wipe it off when it accumulates!

 

[Aloha Jen]

Played around with some paint and new stainless steel screws…

The resto on the heater box from my 1975 40 is finished and ready to go back in!
