From the pass down we ran into a bunch of Cruisers coming up and had to wait about 30 minutes. *gripe hat on* If you venture onto a one-way section of trail with 15* vehicles, run it tight. Don't have 300 yard gaps. *hat off* We jumped...

As others have said a bad MC, internally leaking. I've experienced this on two different Cruisers. A quick jab of the pedal and you have solid brake pressure, but a gentle pressing of the pedal and it sinks to the floor. Replace the MC and you...

Imogene Pass

I hooked it south into Governors Basin with a side track through Sidney Basin clockwise. I had to use the magic Crawl on a couple of spots on that optional loop. Recommend. I made it almost to the furthest mine and the bottom fell out of...

After I got out I hooked a left and went to the top of Yankee Boy Basin. Plenty of traffic but it thinned out a ton once the trail got hard at the top

Red has a remote work job so she is staying at the house while I go ride the mountains. Today I was solo. Saw this beauty on the way up Took Imogene almost to Telluride but there was a landslide so I had to backtrack. Got on the trail early...

Drove it 70+ miles today. It runs ok, not great but good enough on flat road. Current issues are that when cold idle is ca. 700 (this is good), but once warm idle may jump to 1200 or at times around 2000 (not good). Acceleration from a stop is...

@Dudemanslick Cruiser shop OTM is in Leeds and it’s run by @Bama4door I’d take there and have the professionals look it over.

Auxiliary cooling fan removed from 80 series that fits in front of the radiator on the passenger side. Fan includes wiring and relay. I've tested the fan with 12v and it works. I don't know how it was originally wired in the 80, whether by a...

Solid work Jim, 80 looks great. Love seeing the kubota putting in work

Replaced the rear lock actuator in the rear hatch yesterday. Used this part number. Now all doors and the rear hatch lock. Linkage within the upper hatch is not that difficult to unattach and reattach. Just pay attention to how the actuator...

Smaller diameter alternator pulley for a 1FZ alternator, may fit other models but I don't know. Smaller diameter pulley is to increase alternator rpm at lower engine rpm for increased electrical output at the lower engine rpm. The pulley for...

Going back to the original question, It's a Land Cruiser "BASED" custom modified vehicle.

It’s not hard to hit 2,000 hours in a full on nut & bolt build. 1,000-1,500 hours would be pretty normal for a restoration type build. You can easily have 300+hrs in just paint. Now most the builds we do are not 40’s but they are Land...

Maybe could use it for broiling a roast at camp?

Major running issues have mainly been sorted out and I began driving it some today, mainly on the farm but a short run up the road. I think the kick down cable needs adjusting and I have an intermittent recurring high idle issue. Cold the idle...

Took a closer look, forgot that it ties into the frame so it stays.

Cat guard on the White Knuckle slider hangs down kind of low and looks like it would hang up on rocks. I'm thinking about cutting it off. The cat that's on there is tucked up high.

If you have the space keep the block and head, you'll likely never need them but if you part with them then need a block or head in the future finding one will be difficult to impossible. If you have a space OEM carb keep that and have it...

Hey Jim, I can still climb up into Bart and push the brake pedal hard enough to stop when needed. Took the 35s off a couple years ago and leave trails like the Rubicon to younger drivers now. No walker yet.

Also… She’s alive. Cam break in is done. Tomorrow is: Install driveshafts and skid pans Install front end and bumper Put the shift boots back on Warm the engine up and redo the valves Remove the tee for the dual oil pressure senders …then drive.

@Skniper Oh yeah Steve’s still doing his thing, enjoying retirement. He’s still got Frosty the 100 and Bart the 62. And he’s still putting in the work helping me muscle transmissions on occasion too. He’ll probably see that I tagged him in a...

@overhanger still kickin' around? Nice!

I want to see pics of @overhanger lifted, lockered, and swampered walker.
