What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (17 Viewers)

[Snowdogyyz]

Had an alignment done after replacing a leaky PS gearbox. Then had to replace a bad fuel pump. Fun.

Looks kind of like SC.

Maybe Florida.

 

[77wagon]

Definitely SC. Hunting island state park to be exact. Tropical storm dropped a lot of rain on an already saturated terrain. No photo shop! Well worth a visit if in the area. Small island, covered with maritime forest and great campgrounds. I'm lucky enough to call it my local beach.

Maybe Florida.

You're overthinking this, Mike... it's the end of the road. There's no pot of gold there.

I don't need any more GOLD!

 

[Solace in Solitude]

I don't need any more GOLD!

That's why I said that... you have more than enough already!!

 

[mtnbiker4evr13]

Installed a @Racer65 Fuji carb(which is awesome) and other parts scrounged from the classifieds.

And went on the first semi sucessful test drive!

Are you trying to tell me the myth is not true?

You can not see the gold because there is no rainbow ... Once the rainbow appears it will become clear that the myth is true when the 'pot of gold ahead' sign also appears

Rebuilt my sm465. Also ordered a pneumatic actuator for the elocker I converted to pneumatic. The current actuator I have is too small and engages too slow.

Could you post the acuator you ordered and info on the conversion.

Just have to brag for a minute. I buttoned up the 40 yesterday and drove it almost all day. Woke up this morning, checked the garage floor underneath it, and not a drop of oil anywhere to be seen. Nothing from the transfer case, ebrake, transmission, oil cooler or pan, engine rear seal, side or front cover, nor anything from either diff. Never been the case in my 11 years of ownership. The hard work has paid off. At least until something starts leaking next month...

Have you checked that you didnt run out of oil?

 

[Tezmac]

Oh damn, I didn't think of THAT!!!! Hahaha!!

MrT will not be happy with you... You removed all the rust proofing capabilities of the integrated rust quenching inhibitors .... Yet another thing you didn't think about...

Your always talking about this rust thing. Been searching my cruisers for years and have yet to find anything on the body or frame that didn't look it it can that way from the factory.

Here is the thread that helped me: Elocker to air conversion thread

Could you post the acuator you ordered and info on the conversion.

I stripped, sand blasted and painted the rear axle housing this weekend.

Is that a 70 series FF w/locker? Also, what paint/primer did you use? Looks swell.

 

[Tough Trucks Of TX]

Finished building/welding my cage, got motor, trans and t-case mocked up, and started planning my extended capacity under seat fuel tank and seat mounts.

 

[Michael B]

@mdsims you are correct on the axle and have its mate for the front. I'm using Krylon rattle cans. I have had this kind of finish with it for decades.

 

[mdkaboom]

Pulled the front bib off to replace a rusted out hinge and bust off some surface rust from the radiator support and sorround.
