Mize Adventure

There is something romantic about cruising over the land in our beautiful country. I do it as often as possible, while ogling at the surrounding landscapes and meeting people from all walks of life. I do have an underlying objective-an obsessive nature if you will. My eyes are always peeled for old Toyota Land Cruisers on behalf of Barnyard Cruiser customers! We love our cruisers! If I find one still rugged and able bodied to cruise the land, I bring it home and dress it up for resale. Aged and resting idle in a forgotten backyard or barn, I give it a second life as an organ transplant truck. To provide scavenged parts that will eventually rehabilitate one of our favorite old timers and keep its heart beating for years to come.

    Great video, but if I were the customer watching this, I'd wonder why there wasn't a soft towel or something under the grill when laying face down on a rusty tailgate while working on it.

    Very helpful! Couple questions...#1 is replacing a 62 dash roughly the same process? #2 Do I need to attach the replacement in a certain order to reduce any pressure that could cause future cracks? #3 Should I place the dash replacement in the sun or warmer environment to allow for pliability?

  • @mizeadventure9438
    @mizeadventure9438Ай бұрын

    62 is basically the same just a different bezel. And different location of screws. Not sure of a way to install to prevent future cracking. The suns going to hit it regardless. A little heat might not be a terrible idea. Just take your time.

    Hey man, you would make good money offering complete wiring harnesses for 60/62, I know i’m not the only one who had a pain in the butt trying to workout all the old cooked cables in my LC. By having all that experience, you can get it sorted out and get someone to make them for you just to distribute. TLC4x4 posted about doing something similar but for LS conversions

    I am assuming that you broke in the camshaft....... Also those flex fans don't always cool that great. think of going with a clutch style fan with a shroud for best cooling. I would have to go back to some earlier videos to see if you talked about what bellhousing to trans adaptor and clutch you are running. Can't wait to see more of this build. Have a great week.

    What? 1000 miles or 1600km ROAD trip? Your title sounds like it's supposed to be an achievement to impress people. Which is silly, because, mechanically and by the design, these land cruisers are among the most reliable cars ever built in the entire history or car making. All they need is basic maintenance and timely replacements of worn-out parts, like any other car does. However these classic land cruisers can take so much more abuse and can keep going under bad or missing maintenance for a long while before giving up. If you get one in good condition and well-cared, there is no question it can go distance and return back safely. And If you get one that's been all trashed and squeezed out, well then it's not about the car model or "antiquity", you can ruin any car quickly and turn it into trash like that.
