I guess its time to start enjoyng the landcruiser now that the weather is finally turning warm! Drove mine to work today. Mine is topless, and this warm day is ideal for a cruise.
I havent enjoyed it since driving it home last fall.. That weekend was the very last warm weekend of the year...
btw.. hope your all out driving your land cruisers.. Its BEAUTIFUL out!
My FJ40 is topless at the moment, and this weather is near perfect for cruising. Too bad I gotta work, but lunch time was an ideal time to take a spin :)
seen this FJ40 while searching CL.

Anyone have any comment, good or bad in regards to this lift kit, price for the kit, AND/OR the company...
guys. While cleaning up my FJ40 this week, I noticed that my rear springs have the Mitsibushi "triangle/Diamond" symbol and the word Mitsibushi on the top leaf.
These some sort of retro-fit done by a previous owner or stock for a 76 model fj 40?
Did Toyota ever add/install Mitsibushe...
Not sure the difference between "ambulance" doors and "barn" doors? Ill modify my origioanl post. I see I used both descriptions.
Both descriptions would instill a vision of opening side to side, tho, yes?
Anyway, I do NOT have the lift tailgate with the two smallish tailgate doors... My...
So, I may have my hardtop replacement issue solved.
I own a mid year model 1975 FJ40 with ambulance (side to side opening) doors. My hardtop is rotted and have been looking for a better one to replace it.

So, I may have my hardtop replacement issue solved. Found a fellow locally willing to sell me a set of sides from a 81 model FJ40 hardtop. This SHOULD fit my 76 model with ambulance dorrs, correct?

I been looking unsuccessfully for a "donor" hardtop to fix my sides.
SO.. Now Ill focus on buying a complete top, or set of hardtop side panels. Need a post 1975 FJ40 top (w/ ambualnce doors)

Hey Guys.
I have a late 1975 model FJ40 with the ambulance doors.
The hardtop fiberglass top is in great shape. The sides, well, not so much.

Tell me..
The years...
