My Power Steering refresh & upgrade

My power steering pump started whining when I engaged the lockers last summer, now it started to leak from the back side of the pump. It's time... also install the cooler while I'm in there.

Fuel Tank Replacement for the Lx450

The fuel tank in the Lx acquired a small crack on top of fuel tank. I don't know exactly, maybe this new fuel we have messed up my charcoal canister then over pressurized the tank??? It has been a common problem for the 80 series Land Cruiser. I did some research & this is what I find...

These are the parts I purchased for the job.

Plus this Cut-off Vale #77380-26010

I pick this NICE used tank up local from @megolfer on ih8mud forum.
