I read the article of my LandCruiser restoration in the Sept/Oct issue of Toyota Trails... Couldn't have completed the project without the help from some very knowledgeable individuals here on MUD. Big thanks to you all!

Made a mess

Wrestled with the transmission drain and fill plugs for about an hour. 1/2 can of PB blaster, drained the oil/pulled the filter while waiting (PO had tightened filter to a degree I had never seen ).

Changed out the transmission fluid, added MAF magnetic, 10mm allen wrench drain and fill plugs. Then refilled the oil. Realized 4 quarts later that I had forgotten to reinstall the oil drain plug. ROOKIE MISTAKE.

EXXON VALDEZ in driveway.

Dropped rear driveshaft in an effort to narrow down my elusive transmission rattle. Wasn't coming from the rear driveshaft.

Ran out of daylight before I got to the one thing I was actually planning on doing today, which was looking into why my parking brake doesn't work.

Overuse of the head-smashing-into-wall emoticon? Absolutely. Learned a ton along the way, and narrowed down the rattle that much more.

REMEMBER TO PLUG YOUR DRAINS FOLKS

It was a big day. Swapped rubber, went to 33 KM2's.



Oh yeah, and my wife bought a 40 today from a friend.

Finally started rewiring it... 3 wires at a time. That's about my limit before I'm annoyed and come inside. Good news is that there are only 21 wires that are needing to be replaced so even at my uberslow pace, I should have her back on the road in a week. In time to get some wheeling in before the snow comes and takes away all the pretty places in the Sierras for a while.

Trying to wrap my head around this. When it rains it pours huh?

At any rate,
