What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (74 Viewers)

[ceylonfj40nut]

Would love to see a few pictures of your fan and shroud setup.

I can get you some more pics. Do you have the splash gaurd at the bottom? If so it makes a good lower portion of the shroud

In a below-freezing cold spell a couple of years ago, rats took up residence in both of my wife's cars, and in a matter of days wreaked havoc on the wiring harnesses, insulation and etc. I was able to splice and completely repair the wiring harness in one, but despite many hours of splicing and reconstruction have not been able to restore the second one to full functionality. They got to the auto tranny wiring harness, and I can't get to that until I have access to my 2-post lift again.

The rats declined to have anything to do with either of my Toyota trucks, obviously preferring her Lexi. Posh rats, I guess.

I have never killed a snake here; we have Rat Snakes, Rattlesnakes, Copperheads, and Eastern Hognose snakes. They are all welcome, though I have relocated a rattlesnake and a few copperheads farther away from the house for the sake of the grandchildren.

We have had outside cats too; they were the best and most consistent rodent control, but unfortunately they are not the apex predators here and we have not been successful in keeping them alive. I have reluctantly reverted to poison to control the rodents.

Try mixing peanut butter, baking powder and baking soda, and oat or cornflakes. Won't hurt dogs but will kill mice and rats. I don't know about squirrels, though.

If it killed squirrels, that would be an added bonus!

This is my normal. Probably installed in October.

Cylinder #1. Looks lean to me. It also looks like it had the deposits, like above, but, they burnt off to white. I could check the torque on the ear of the intake? Maybe cold fuel doesn't move well to #1? It is a very cold-exposed path thru the intake manifold.

I also put some nylock nuts in place of what was holding the battery down. I'll probably buy a new battery tray after inspecting the rust. Reinstalled the air dam sheet metal on the passenger side 40 after a weld repair. And, removed some winter soil from frozen glass with a 4" paintbrush and rubbing alcohol on a paper towel. Removed the b.s. fuel hose that I installed in 2018 or whatever, that was already showing signs of cracking - why it is sold at the store next to a filling station with only ethanol/gas at the pump, I don't know.

Agree. In a perfect world they should all look like the 2nd pic

Make sure you take a look down at the bottom of the intake manifold while the carb is off to make sure it isn’t cracked.... many times they are.

Well carb is off again to replace the intake gasket… but no cracks in the intake that I can see (yet).

Finally out of the garage.

I put my soft top fabric back on the truck. The garage was so cold I left the fabric in the house a couple days, and while I was putting it on the truck I had a little electric radiant heater going in the bed. That really helped getting the snaps all in place. BTW it’s a Dirt Road Top by Julie and it’s awesome.

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

I started it.


After it sat on the battery charger all night.

Too be honest not sure it was the same bull. Believe one was actually a small Forky horn. I haven't hunted in years. Even then was more about being in hunt than the kill. If I was still hunting wouldn't be any small bull I would be after. Phone is loaded with pictures of better bulls. This one was during the rut this fall.

 

[pb4ugo]

Nice. He looks delicious.

It is more scenery than wheelin.'

I took the dog out to desert to go for a walk.

Beginning these projects today on my 60:

A) Install new brass, copper Radiator
B) Install ‘new’ Saginaw Power Steering Pump to replace my leaky one
C) Install one additional leaf to each side of my OME Front Leafs
D) Install new U Bolts on my Flip Kit to accommodate the xtra leafs in the front
E). Maybe drop my Transmission & T Case to install new Shift Fork in T Case. Will try for a work around but may have to do this. Major pain.
