What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (67 Viewers)

“Freudian bug splotches”.

Band name…Called it..!!!

I joke I don't drive my 40 that fast to avoid interpreting the splatter with all that windshield time.

Is your factory amp meter still functional?

Mine did the same thing until I decided to remove the amp meter from the equation. You could wiggle the big wires at the back of the meter and cause loss of power.

If this is the case and you want it to work you’ll need to remove the cluster and clean the connections

Amp meter is still working. For now, as long as it's working I'm not going to worry about it. Maybe will take a look behind the cluster this winter if I get the other project completed.

Just keep that info in your pocket it if it won’t start one day.

Reach up there and give the wires a wiggle and see if it’ll go then.

Routine valve adjustment

Attended a car show on the beach in Newport Beach, CA.

Rare sighting of one of these in the wild ……

And a beautiful E Type

The Lokar 1034 adapter and some sort of throttle cable bracket is first up to bat.

It’s what City Racer shows as an option to connect the throttle cable, however, they/he (no pronoun jokes) “doesn’t support” that option.
Not sure what that means?

Photo borrowed without asking from City Racer:

I bought a carb from him, hopefully he doesn’t mind me posting this photo.

When I switched to the Fuji carb from City Racer I swapped these components off the Chinese carb I had before.

Also added a bracket and return spring

I’d like to say you had the best car there, but damn! That “other 40” took the prize.

 

[sleepycruiser]

Well….went from a complete seized-geared (from rust) 8274 to a working 8274. Took it completely apart…wire wheeled, electrolysis, replaced the motor with a used good one as the motor was toast. Just need a hook and some cables, but spooled in and out well. Picked up the CCOT bumper from @cims1970fj40 last week. Let me tell everyone how fun it was getting the bolts tightened on the inside of the bumper!! That thing is stout as can be. Used a floor Jack to raise the 8274 into place to bolt it on. The end cap is 3D printer from a guy on Facebook…and I used nail polish to color it. Also, had to get the dancing bears and Phish plate frame on there.

Anyone got an extra Warn winch hook?? I need a hook.

That looks great! I warned you how much of a pain in the ass that was to mount that wench. lol

What a beautiful venue.

What’s even more amazing is we were parked on the Newport Elementary School blacktop. Imagine going to school steps from the ocean.

Ha! Exactly.

Clutching pearls here…

Due to Hurricane Helene I had to move vehicles around and put the 40 in the garage my daughters’ cat hangs out in.

Orange cats are the best. But they only get a couple brain cells per litter and one cat hogs them all..

I'd be interested to hear how this carb works out...

Remind me in the morning about the hook. I should have one for you.

This is what I need. Can’t find anything like it so I guess I’ll be bending up metal.

Awesome. Thanks for the pic.
