Builds What's a Parts Guy to Do?? (1 Viewer)

Beno, are the wheel well covers still available? How much are they? Are the clips available for them as well?

I was going to make some out of old pond liner, but NOS is way better

Yes, they are available (see picture above) but they are pricey.

Leftover pond liner it is

haha

Is it wrong that I feel a bit "weird" in my mid-areas when new parts come in?

I think I have a problem.

New rear bumpstops:

New intermediate shaft (includes rag joint at PS gear box end):

 

[OGBeno]

Bolts for the PS Gear box on the frame:

Brake booster check valve:

 

[OGBeno]

A new front axle breather (I like that it comes with the frame bracket and new flapper valve):

And new clamps with rubber insulators for the firewall. These are the ones that hold the two brake lines and the clutch line in place on the firewall as they make their way from the driver's side of the truck to the passenger's side and scoot down to the frame rail where they split.

No problem at.
What's weird is me having the same problem from looking at your pictures.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Shaft, hehe.

Not weird, I agree.

That's insane.

I think I may have a problem.

It's not a problem if you enjoy it. That being said you are surrounded by those who know how you feel. The first step is admittance.

My name is Matt and I'm an addict.

Looks like you're buying enough parts to justify keeping you employed! Good on ya!

 

[cruisermatt]

You are keeping all the plastic parts bags right? It would be tragic for you NOT to sew them into a blanket (with Toyota interior thread of course).

Dang, this thing is still available????
How much?

 

[OGBeno]

A little bit of work after work....

Installed new grommets on the inside rocker panels-- 3 per side.

Installed new plugs on the PS gear box shield:

Installed new AC line firewall grommets:

And installed bracket/insulators for brake/clutch hardlines... New numerical hardware too:

Is the breather available separately from the hose? From the pic it looks like the same one for the t-case.

Correct and yes.

 

[sschruff]

I'm not ashamed: If the parts are available from post 820-to last post, I'd like to order them while they're still available. BTW - I'm giving Mel your phone number =)

 

[cruisermatt]

Is there a way to buy bulk Toyota hardware? Or do would I have to buy individual bolts only?

 

[OGBeno]

You would need to buy individual part numbers. But you can buy as many as you want of any given individual bolt number. That's what I do.

Some more progress:

Thanks to the great team at ACC Garage in Atlanta (the BEST Land Cruiser shop I have been lucky enough to interact with), I have a new-to-me PSC rebuilt steering gear box. Very nice. Sexy time indeed:

New muffler/tailpipe assy with new insulators:

 

[cruiserdan]

Oh good. A spare muffler for when you smash the first one. Way to plan ahead....
