tons, cummins, 40s, 80 series Land Cruiser build

Yeah, if it's in good condition other than the motor it definitely sound like it!

If you want some armor for it down the road, I might know a guy.

 

this thread lacks in photos..

 

Lol

 

Holy Shit, is that from the 80?

 

Nah, the 80 had fucked rod bearings. This has good bearings, fucked bores/skirts. 3rz 2.7L

 

Whats going to be the plan with the 4r? another diesel in that one?

 

Rebuild the gasser... then drive it. Maybe sell? Maybe light expo, IDK.

 

sweet let me know if you want any help

 

So replacing the taco...

 

LOL

 

If we're voting I vote 4bt motor in there

 

Nah I have to finish one diesel before I do another. Next will be a 4bt fj60. The tan one in the driveway. Hunting rig.

 

im personally thinking 4bd-1t

the 6BT is just too fucking heavy for my likings hahahaha

and the 4bt I feel is inferior to the 4bd-1t

 

I'm sorry but that idea ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin getting it on.

Thanks Owen, already taken care of though hah.

Standard USA 4.56 thick cuts ordered, 14 bolt bought, waiting for me in Reno at buddies, we're going to weld spiders and install gears this weekend.

Party.

Well... my 14 bolt is cursed.

Looks like someone took a rusty shit in there. Bearings looked okay, gears looked okay minus a little rust. But just shit everywhere!

Took hours to clean it out. Axle tubes still have shit in them.

Then...

Older axle housing... someone appears to have swapped in an earlier pinion housing. Or I have a one off fluke 14 bolt. Had to track down a bearing, the only things that vary between the two are that the newer ones have a larger rear pinion bearing and a longer crush sleeve. That was 80$ alone. Then crush sleeve was wrong, bought another one at summit only to realize that someone swapped out the pinion housing and that's why everything was fucked up. So by then I needed to come home and so we buttoned up the axle, put parts in a box, and loaded it up. Gay.
