Selling my 1988 FJ62. It is modified and ready to roll. Bought the vehicle a few years ago with the intention of building a family-friendly off road vehicle. Most of the work was done by the PO, but I decided to do an LS swap. Unfortunately, I've...
I've got the same issue with a painless harness. P.O. had totally bypassed the hazard switch. I had all my switches/cables/knobs redone by @RAGINGMATT (They came back AMAZING!) and dug into the wiring to get everything working. I still haven't...
Using Coolerman's kit, I was able to install an FJ60 Alternator into a 1972 FJ40. Its a great upgrade, and Coolerman's stuff is awesome. Made it possible for even me to install it, a certified idiot. Also, made a video of it in case there are any...
Would love to know what you guys decide. I have a new build to “shake down” and my 40 might be in together-enough-to-bounce-around-30-minutes-from-home-condition.
When I did the initial (partial) restoration of my family FJ40 in 2020, the main goal was always to regain the confidence to take it in any distance trip and be ready for any adventure.
Since then, in 2021 I took it in a trip across the Pyrenees...
Yea, I actually think the ammo can may be the best option. I had gotten a new one from harbor freight when I had my old seats. It’s tiny though. Need to find a bigger one now that I’ve got more space.
All the Jeep consoles are too long to fit...
Here are the seats, with some old seat covers, mounted in the truck. Super comfy and they are about the same size as the Toyota buckets that were in there.
They leave me about 8” between seats so I *think* I’ll be able to get some kind of...
35's SUA, stock axle, stock springs, extended rear shackle - the right front is jammed on the fender, the right rear is hanging in the air - the left rear is tight up against the rear inner fender. Left door won't close, right door won't open in...
Oh boy! That’s been awhile. I followed most of the advice in this thread:

Not sure I would do it again. The linseed oil holds dirt, but I also haven’t washed the...
I’ve only gotten the passenger seat in. It was pretty easy. Just adapted it to some Toyota sliders.
The seats are sweet. Drivers seat has about 5 different mechanical adjustments and the seats are nice and small. I’m tall and thin so distance...
I’m sure she’ll be available one day…. However this is my favorite body style Toyota so maybe not.
I did just bring this home….
Like I needed another impractical vehicle. We’ll see what tolerance my wife has for impracticality. As long as...
I’ve done some stuff, but I didn’t take any pictures of any of it.
Installed a new rear main seal. The old one fell out when I pulled the transmission. No wonder it was leaking…
Replaced the clutch and pressure plate.
Installed a W56...
