    Builds Mission Impossible......My 74 & 76 Build up by a Top Gun Land Cruiser builder :)

    Sorry to say, but I agree. My old 73' will be parked during the winter months. The cold and salt here in Wisconsin just beat on it too badly. I have had 5 FJ's over the past 25 years and had a strong conviction that I would drive them year round and in all conditions... all 5 of them had...

    Hey you 40's guys, I have a question

    Yip, I see a lot of diamond plate on the rear quarters and no doubt about it it's typically to cover rust and provide structure since this is a primary area our 40's rust out.

    Project LandROC

    The horse can smell the barn Yer getting close to that magic day you start it and go cruising. I have been watching you building this for close to 2 years now I think... been a very nice journey. I am a purest and at first was kind of turned off by your complete overhaul - but your quality of...

    Going from F to 2F...help!

    Thanks gents. How about the oil pan gasket or engine block mounts? Would you bother replacing those right away even if they appear to be in OK condition at the moment?

    Going from F to 2F...help!

    I am swapping my internally broke F engine with a used 2F engine. I plan on bringing almost everything (water pump, distributer, carb, headers, alternator, etc.) across from my current engine. I am looking to put together a list of off the shelf parts I should replace while doing the swap...

    Does every 40 series have the gas fuel tank door on right side?

    You got me there...I forgot about RH drives!

    Does every 40 series have the gas fuel tank door on right side?

    Every stock 40 has the gas fill location on the passenger side.

    3/69-9/69 2BBL Aisan Carb Help

    I recently had a similar issue. My secondary would not open and my cruiser would not stay running unless I manually held it open a bit... which is not the way things should work. I had taken apart my base and I think I messed my primary butterfly angle up as well. Instead of buying a new...

    3spd to 4spd swap maybe not?

    I currently drive a crusier with the stock 3rd speed... considering the 4 speed only for the gear sync annoyance. If I had your opportunity I would go 4 speed.

    Replacing my main seal...anything more while I am in there?

    bout a month ago I saw a thread where a guy asked the same question - but I could not find it. i am gearing up to replace my main seal - any recommendations of what other "preventative maintenance" i should do while i have the transmission out? i don't have a lot of history on the cruiser...

    I can't decide......

    Close together (the first one) looks best to me. That's going make a nice bright flood ahead of you.

    Gas Line/ banjo fititng B L U E S.....

    So Jim, can we just cap that return line if we want? Will the float needle valve hold back all the back pressure from the fuel pump or will she blow a hole in the side of a carb :hhmm:

    Newbie here

    My dad had a FJ55 growing up... man your pic brings back memories. Something about the smell of FJ's interior...all the same. Cruisers being absorbed into the earth are nothing new - drag it out and get r' going. Welcome :flipoff2: ;)

    Gas Line/ banjo fititng B L U E S.....

    Bet you can find your copper washers online at McMaster Carr. You just need to know it's dimensions (ID, OD, thickness)... have a look and they might have banjo fittings as well.

    HELP - Gas Leak from Carb "Banjo" Fitting

    I am a newbie...hope it's kosher to resurect an old thread like this. Is the return line even necessary? I have a 73 with the original carb, but I have seen some set ups with the same carb as mine with the outlet simply plugged. If the return line is necessary, back to Rocky's last...
