I’ve run it in pretty much everything including my Lexus GX

Got the valves adjusted…. Some were a bit loose, one a bit tight and some were just right. But I know they are now good to go for awhile.
She still idles a bit rough, which just started in the last month or so…. Working my way down the list - new plugs, new distributor cap/rotor, (plug wires < 1yr old), reset the timing, re-torqued the manifold and carb bolts ( thinking it might possibly be a small air leak), and even tinkered with the Sniper settings a bit… but no solution so far. Will probably go ahead and replace the fuel filters so I can check that box as well.
But she runs great at rpm >1000 with plenty of power (although “power” is a relative term on these 2F’s
) which still makes me think it might be an air / vacuum leak somewhere.

How's your front bib hinge? There's some room for adjustment there which is where I find you get most of your side to side play from. Just my 2c
Still broke, so still no paint in sight. Still, at least that means I get to just drive it!
Longest haul out of town so far, went to the farm to visit my dad just as they are starting to combine. Was a good day.

I bought new pedal pads. My third set since buying it in 1980

Power steering overhaul continues with redoing the box mount the ignorant PO (in this case that’s Present Owner 
) erroneously welded on.
Horn almost all cleaned up, damn that thing was really welded on there…
Plate position mocked up. I am not responsible for the gaping maw in the frame but I am on the hook for how to elegantly fix it.

I’m curious about this too as I’ll be tackling this in the future. My thought was to start with the two rear most and work my way forward… if that’s even possible.

I have dealt with the hood alignments in the past. Seen too many hoods too far forward. Strongest point is at the very front edge where the vertical and horizontal meet. What to keep the edge to the pads on the bib. I have to pull bend the lip back down. Spring loaded hooks and washboard roads put a lot of stress on the front edge.
It might sound backwards but if your alignment is good I would do the hood, fenders, aprons and bib first. Then once that's done do the tub and align it the front clip. So many adjustments in the front versus the tub. If the front clip is done and misalignment when done with the tub should only have to deal with a single piece (tub) versus multiple adjustments on the front clip.

Had the transfer case rebuilt, resealed, knuckles redone, vacuum 4wd module rebuilt and breaks adjusted. A big Thank you to Beau Parker @ Safari Classic in Hot Springs Arkansas. A great guy and Landcruiser mechanic.

New DUI dizzy installed, timed, and running well. It's still a 2F, but it drives so much better!
A friend recently spoke with an oil scientist. The guy stated older motors should not run synthetic oil due to it not containing zinc, Anyone every heard of this?
1200 ppm is why we run it. These engines will run on about anything.
By that you mean it's an awesome engine for off road operation?
Found out why my starter wouldn’t spin my flywheel at the end of last week’s wheeling trip… spun rod bearing.

you have been seriously miss-informed by your friend and his oil scientist ...
- taking into account , you must first adhere strictly to the Viscosity Charts in your owners manual and FSM ....
- the moment you drain out the Liquid Fossils , and replace it and them with man-kinds best , nourishing full Synthetics anything ...
- then your Land Cruiser enters the Neutral wear and tear Zone ....
