I had a dream that I had my Land Cruiser back the other night. I’ve actually really been missing it lately since we’ve been wanting to go hit the trails with some friends but my truck only sits 2 comfortably. Ideally I’d have both like @Speedytech7 but I think that would really be financially ruinous to have two old Yota shitboxes to feed and maintain.

 

Speaking of old Shitbox yotas

Only 14k!

 

Looks rusty but trusty. They really made an effort to make the 80 series a lot more corrosion resistant I think. It’s rare to see their frames rotting out, even up in the salt belt.

 

The following pic isn’t from Hawaii for everyone’s amazement.

Well, I'll post today's fuck up.

Before I actually make my mini-TIG cart, I wanted to get the 'accessories' out of the way.

Drew this up earlier and was really liking the layout.



After seeing a 3D version of it, I modified it a bit and the end result was this.



It'll be for cable management, specifically my TIG torch cable.

Well I had drawn that up on the PC, shut it off, and came to the garage to cut it out. My dumbass didn't save the file

Found a half-ass freebie and said fuck it I don't want to draw it again so here it is.



Cable management will be on one side, and TIG consumables with holder and whatnot will be on the other side.

 

That could easily be Missouri….

 

So I'm gonna try go tackle my fan clutch today and yank out that weak electric fan. If I recall correctly I still have the nuts that are on the studs in the water pump that hold the clutch to it, these should be 12mm. What nuts do I need from the hardware store for these four that attach the fan to the clutch itself?

 

This truck is an 80 series chassis. The body was ordered separately. The transmission is from a 100 series. The engine is a 4.7 from a 100.

 

Fancy Mercedes time





A happy mother's day

 

Id cut a finger off to please the gods for a single cab landcruiser like this.

 

Just take a stud to the store with you to get said nuts.

They're metric, and isn't a 12mm head an M10? I could be wrong but it'll be M10 or M12.

The fan ones are different, the ones for the water pump to the clutch are 8mx1.25m12 if im not mistaken. Im honestly not sure.

10mm on the fan
12mm on the clutch to wp

I should do that, unfortunately im retarded so I gotta ask first.

 

Then my first hiccup; how the fuck do I take this off.

 

Never hurts asking

I already pulled one today, let's just hope that's the only one

 

Getting these off without taking the bumper off and grill will be fun
