Thread: BJ73 Landcruiser

Hey what do you know, playing with the fuel screw seems to have fixed it mostly. I guess Miles Toyota turned it up to compensate for the rough idle from the leaking fuel filter primer when I had the IP leak fixed. It still had the factory wire seal on the adjustment screw so I figured it hadn't been touched but backing off a quarter turn significantly reduced smoke with no difference in drivability

That's good gimp,

Now you can tune your throttle feel/power/fuel economy to your own liking.

my fuel economy seems to be back to normal with no noticeable smoke under load now.

I went for a drive yesterday, to try shoot a deer. Couldn't walk very far past where I drove to as the river was extremely flooded. Saw an 8 point stag. Didn't shoot it. Noticed a bit of a clunk in the suspension though on the way home.



Oh I guess that's not meant to look like that



Who needs sway bars anyway?



Also got around to pulling off the PTO drive. Before:



Hey I can see inside my transfer case (and it looks like it's about 1.5 litres low on oil, whoops)




After. Shiny. Better not leak. Probably need to get some RTV on the gasket at some point


The problem with removing the PTO drive was that I had a massive gaping hole in my transmission tunnel afterwards


So I got stuck into some CAD. Only scrap sheetmetal I had lying around was a fucked front panel from the Corolla. Perfect, it's supposed to be automotive parts and it's even Toyota OEM


A squirt of primer, some precisely drilled holes and a bit of vacuum tube as a seal later, almost looks good enough to be hidden under the carpet forever



Anyone want to buy a lightly used PTO winch setup? It works

I just bought a mint 70 series, how much for the winch setup

Since this is a hunting forum, here is the 8 point stag

speaking of Corolla panels, I put it back together too

And still room for the bassinet

Jesus man that ain't a minivan


in other news the cruiser appears to have improved articulation since I dumped the sway bar and handles much the same on the road (like a boat)

Would let it go for 650. Prefer pickup, it's massive and shipping would be a nightmare - where in the country are you?

Carterton, but thats a bit much at the moment,
thanks

"apparently" it's "illegal" to remove your sway bar. balls. anyone got a single bracket floating around
