What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (53 Viewers)

[mrhydro]

I was working on my 72 and realized I can’t put on an oem bumper on it. Previous owner reinforced the frame. I can’t even remove the tow hooks .

I also took apart the parking brake. And discovered that the previous had removed everything in there. So I started cleaning the backing plate and drum. ordered a kit from SOR. Painted the bits. Got all ready And as I was going to to put it all together, I found out that the shoe hold down pins were missing in my kit! I emailed them today. But does any one know what size pin I can use for now ? I went to the autozone and they didn’t have any

although 0-2 of the things I wanted done. I learned a lot about the parking brake.

Now looking to get a hitch receiver for the fj40 just to carry a bike any recommendations? Cheers

Terrain Tamer parabolic springs and Koni shocks installed on the 40. Completely transformed the ride. Now if I could just get them for the HZJ75 . . .

Ugh. How do I delete a double post?

 

[pb4ugo]

The three dots on the bottom left inside your posts. There's a choice to edit or delete. I don't think you can totally delete it, because you don't have a silver star.

Drove it a bunch today. Took it to a car show in Petaluma (~45 minute drive each way), then my daughters wanted to go up to the Bolinas Ridge to catch the sunset (~1 hour drive each way). It did great, the Cruiser Gods were smiling on me and my carburetor today

The top off, in your FJ40 with your daughters and awesome weather! Sounds and looks perfect.

Finally replaced my hitch but couldn’t imagine using non JIS/oem hardware.

Hey Nate:
Do you have part numbers for the OEM fasteners/hardware that you used for your receiver hitch mounting? Thanks.

I had a little upper rocker damage last GSMTR so was looking for a better way to protect that area.

I added a bit of material to Dave’s already great 4X Plus steps to give higher protection and had them painted body color. It seemed like a better idea than repairing the spot just to see if happen again.

Much appreciated.
Two marks on the screw from what I can tell.
Class 6T the way I read it.
They don't even sell anything that low of a class at the hardware store, or McMaster-Carr. There were JIS flat-head, but nothing that could conventionally be torqued to spec. Hardware is fascinating; part numbers are going to keep it elusive. I just checked an offering for parts online; yep, it seems elusive. The ones on my rear engine mounts were stamped 5, and they took a serious beating.

Are those spare 4runner wheels? thanks

These are 17 inch FJ Cruiser wheels. I got the idea from a few other FJ 4X Land Cruiser enthusiasts. They bolt right up, but I had to use spacers. I had the old split rims on there when I bought the truck, didn't care for those.
