WOW,SUPER CLEAN
Yeah, they are a pain.Replaced the parking brake cable. What an ordeal. Broke a bolt on the firewall holding the cable in. Thankfully got it out after a few hours.. Definitely excited to not do that again for a while.

Nice!!! I taught my 11yro to drive clutch this summer. Good times.
Been there done that! Scary
She quit on me on my Sunday drive. Had to get a tow back home.
Today it is up and running.
Bad alternator, bad condenser and cracked distributor cap.
Fires right up now!

I did this as well.
Turns out I either ate an exhaust valve in the process or had a bad exhaust valve, plus my timing was way off.
Replaced the exhaust valve and had @Thechief86 fix my timing issue and it hasn't come back.
In my case, I set the wrong timing (at 180 degrees).
After re-installing the distributor, it started working fine.. except the exhaust stopped coming out of the pipe.. ..Hmm
I look under ... and find out why...
Finally pulled the tyre off my old steel split rim to change the tube (since nobody else will touch them).
Pretty well stuck on with rust, but pretty doable even on the roadside tbf.
Extra points if you know what model these rims are from!

No disrespect to city racer, but my LED headlights snowed over last winter. Just replaced them with a set of heated JW Speaker headlights.
Had to slight carve out some of the headlight dish.

I recognized your 40 @rkymtnflyfisher but you changed your avatar so I thought "Why is someone else posting pictures of his 40?"
Nope; definitely original Landcruiser
please post when you reassemble, I took mine apart three years ago and I forgot how the bolts and washers are arranged.
Highly recommend that while you have the seats out to add extensions to allow more leg room. Extensions for the drivers seat are available from several Mud vendors. I just made extensions for the passenger seat out of steel channel that moved the seat back 2” which is most you can do with OEM seats/brackets.

Smart intake routing. What motor is that?
All those lines for the gas tank vent should fit under the tank cover. And, while I'm not sure exactly how that plastic piece is supposed to mount, and know I am missing a few parts, covers etc., I'm pretty convinced that it needs to be mounted higher than the tank with the hose to the check valve at the highest point.
When I bought my '74, that vent hose with the check valve was routed back into the tank and the whole thing was lying on top of the tank under the metal cover (with an aftermarket plastic tank), and the whole inside always smelled like gas (even parked outside, with the top off, no doors). Mounting that upright, and plumbing as shown in the FSM and my interior lost the constant gas odor.
