What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[Sky King]

Elsie goes topless! The past few days I've been stripping the cruiser down to bare bones for some body work including a very rotted rear sill. The top came off, so did the roll cage and later the doors. As usual my old John Deere tractor came in handy.

Took some of my wife's clients to their photoshoot location. Its probably a half mile drive on a rough little trail to an open field.The clients enjoyed the ride in the jump seats.

From what I understand about efi systems they shouldn't bleed pressure off like this or at least nowhere near as fast.

At the 10 second mark in the video, is that a fuel drip from the gauge?

Thanks for noticing I didn't even see that tbh, I need to check the connection and make sure it's tight.

Replaced the diff cover studs with OEM hardware. Bling!

Got the top ready for paint. Really like how the self leveling RV top sealant self corrects- helps for someone like me whose caulking skills are limited!

I did crank my 40 for the first time last night with the new efi, and it ran but poorly and had a much higher idle than expected or set. I don't have a video of it running, but I do have a fuel pressure test clip. After i got my new inline gauge put in. From what I understand about efi systems they shouldn't bleed pressure off like this or atleast no where near as fast. I hate how loud the pump is...but it is what it is for now. I know there are more quite options and an intank pump is in the works.

my inline fuel pump is nowhere near that loud. You can hear it run briefly when it pressures up to prime, but is not noticable once the engine is cranking/running.

But eventually would like to install an in-tank pump as well..

Thanks!

done! 3 cobalt bits and half a bottle of cutting fluid later…

I did read somewhere that the pump holley sends in their kit is particularly loud and they were right. I know there are othere options, but what brand are you running

Pretty sure its a Walbro. It does have a rubber insulating sleeve to supposedly reduce noise/vibration, but not sure if that really does much.

Took Ruby on her first obsidian gathering adventure!

I do believe it is

Turn signal switch, dust seal replacement, test drive number 2.

Working on my new cage. I really love how this Metal Tech family cage is coming together. Lots of patience getting the joints fitting up as well as possible.

Exhaust down pipe revision #2 and the far superior version in my opinion. It's stronger and the O2 sensor is placed properly this time. I am going to heat wrap this section of the exhaust if not for heat control, for sound reduction. Any recommendations on brand for this?

Version 1

I did this because I broke the first one...

I’ve used the dei header wrap
With good luck. It’s easily accessible at most pets stores as well

This top entices me to get fst bows.

Me too. Big time.

Slight carb adjustments for altitude needed near the summit, but still made it.

Do you have a part number/ vendor for the sealant you used? I am in the middle of the same project. Rivets should be arriving today, then put it all back together.
