More Pictures Taken Tonight
Here are some more pictures I took tonight of the engine compartment. Like I said above, I took the front off to install a brand new NOS Toyota Radiator ($450). Also, while I was in there put a brand new harmonic balancer ($500), timing cover and seal ($250)...
They are in Oregon, check out their website. They do the most complete detailing as far as body work. They have the jigs set up to completely unweld every panel and put it back better than new. All rust is compeltely taken care of. They only do land cruisers and they seem to do 4-5 at any...
Engine is top notch, rebuild by Portland Engine Rebuilders. This is better than new. I have done 100s of hours of additional work replacing many parts with NEW OEM and have replated many parts, the engine compartment is better than even the pictures in the link above. Its gorgeous... no...

Okay, you don't see rigs like this everyday. Here is my 1976 FJ40 that I would like to sell quickly. My wife and I are trying to build a house, and I guess this needs to go. You can see the rig, which was posted as "Rig of the Week" a while back.

These are Durango 31x10.5x15s. Got 5 of them see my Rig of the Week post for more pictures. They still have stubs on the wheels, probably around 100 miles on them. I am reverting to a more traditional look (skinny tire). I would like to get $80 per tire. I will ship, but would prefer a pick...
Hello,
Looking for a ring and pinion (coarse spline) for a1/74-1/78. Need this particular year. Would prefer to find some NOS or a super duper set in excellent shape from a front differential with little use.
Thanks!
