Thread: BJ73 Landcruiser

My old Rocky was cool







I disconnected my non-functional aircon by the simple method of removing the belt and the idler pulley. Now to sit back and enjoy my improved fuel economy without all that parasitic drag. Power steering idler pulley feels like it's on the way out, will have to replace it.


Also decided to check the shifter seat bushing, since apparently they wear out and I had bought a spare one. Turns out mine is fine, which should have been obvious given that I have very little slop in my shifter. Then I spent an hour pulling the interior apart to try get the 4 tiny bolts that hold the shifter boot on back in, frickin carpet was in the way.



Also removed a bunch of junk wiring that used to be hooked up to spotlights, which I am never going to want. Didn't electrocute myself and the radio gets better reception, bonus.


Any ideas what that finned aluminium whatsit is? because it's clearly not factory, has a mystery hot wire to it off the battery which is routed in the most retarded fashion along the chassis, wonder if it's cool to just rip it out
